Bookcase Club October 2016 Subscription Box Review & Coupon – Blind Date Case

BookCase.Club is a monthly book subscription box. Every month you’ll receive two handpicked books in one of eight genres. (For the children’s picture book box you’ll get four books!) This is an inexpensive book subscription – less than $15 including shipping per month!

When you sign up you’ll pick the genre. I selected Blind Date because I love Paranormal Romance novels! This is my go-to reading choice and I love getting some new ones each month.

The first look into my box. There isn’t much to these boxes and they include the two books and then a note/info sheet.  There is usually some packing paper rolled up around the edges to help with shifting during shipping. Most months we receive one hardback and one paperback book but this month we got two hardback books. I had a guess since the box was pretty heavy this month and it was confirmed when I opened it.

The inside of the info card has a little blurb about each book.

The note this month is from Shalene, talking about October and fall. While the air here isn’t crisp yet, I can’t wait for it to get that way and then I can curl up in front of the fire with some hot cider and a good book.

The October books, Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore and Exquisite Captive by Heather Demetrios.

Exquisite Captive by Heather Demetrios ($11.62) This is the first book of the Dark Caravan Cycle which is a modern fantasy-adventure trilogy about an eighteen-year-old jinni who is torn between two men and how to use them both to get what she really wants and being able to go home.

Nalia is a jinni of tremendous ancient power, the only survivor of a coup that killed nearly everyone she loved. Now in hiding on the dark caravan—the lucrative jinni slave trade between Arjinna and Earth, where jinn are forced to grant wishes and obey their human masters’ every command—she’d give almost anything to be free of the golden shackles that bind her to Malek, her handsome, cruel master, and his lavish Hollywood lifestyle. Enter Raif, the enigmatic leader of Arjinna’s revolution and Nalia’s sworn enemy. He promises to release Nalia from her master so she can return to her ravaged homeland and free her imprisoned brother. There’s just one catch: for Raif’s unbinding magic to work, Nalia must gain possession of her bottle . . . and convince the dangerously persuasive Malek that she truly loves him.

 Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore ($9.99) The reviews call this a mix of Nancy Drew and Practical Magic and it sounds really fun. I love a good mystery and adding a little romance and paranormal to the mix is a huge added bonus.

Amy Goodnight knows that the world isn’t as simple as it seems. She also understands that “normal” doesn’t mix with magic, and she’s worked hard to build a wall between the two worlds. Not only to protect her family, who are all practicing witches, but to protect any hope of ever having a normal life herself.
Ranch-sitting for her aunt in Texas should be exactly that: good old ordinary, uneventful hard work. Only, Amy and her sister, Phin, aren’t alone. There’s someone else in the house with them–and it’s not the living, breathing, amazingly hot cowboy from the ranch next door.
It’s a ghost, and it’s more powerful than the Goodnights and all their protective spells combined. It wants something from Amy, and none of her carefully built defenses can hold it back.
This is the summer when the wall between Amy’s worlds is going to come crashing down.

Yay! for more great paranormal romance books. I love how BookCase.Club selects books from lesser-known authors. They give me new stories to try each month. I have been reading like crazy lately an,  plowing through all my books, I look forward to my newbies each month. This month’s books are both magical in nature and while there isn’t really a theme for this box, the last couple of months have had similar things on their books – which is fun. You can really get into the theme and get lost in the stories.
