BookCase.Club is a monthly book subscription box where you’ll receive two hand-picked 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! This box is all about the books and with the amount I’ve been reading lately I love it.
When you sign up, you’ll pick the genre. I selected Blind Date because I love Paranormal Romance novels! I have been devouring books lately and this is my go-to reading choice so getting new ones each month is perfect.

The April Blind Date books, Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown and The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block.
The bookmark information sheet seems to be the new standard in the box an we’ve gotten it for a couple months. It has the boxes print on one side and then a little teaser for the book on the other side. This is a very streamlined approach to their info sheets they used to send out. I like that the bookmark is very on point for a book box and very useful.
Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown ($8.95) – Murderous mermaids? Sign me up. This sounds fantastic and so interesting. I normally think of mermaids being just female but having some boys tossed in is fun. This will be a great vacation and beach read.
Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans and absorb their positive energy. Usually, they select their victims at random, but this time around, the underwater clan chooses its target for a reason: revenge. They want to kill Jason Hancock, the man they blame for their mother’s death.
It’s going to take a concerted effort to lure the aquaphobic Hancock onto the water. Calder’s job is to gain Hancock’s trust by getting close to his family. Relying on his irresistible good looks and charm, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock’s daughter Lily. Easy enough, but Calder screws everything up by falling in love–just as Lily starts to suspect there’s more to the monster-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined, and just as the mermaids threaten to take matters into their own hands, forcing Calder to choose between them and the girl he loves.
One thing’s for sure: whatever Calder decides, the outcome won’t be pretty.
The Elementals by Francesca Lia Block ($6.51) – I love a good coming of age story and this one takes on a mystical twist with hauntings. Cancer, Disappearances, Cancer, and tall dark stranger make a good mix for a story.
The Elementals is on one level an intriguing coming-of-age novel about a young woman, Ariel Silverman, facing the challenges of her first years away at college in Berkeley, California, while her mother battles cancer at home in Los Angeles. But the book takes on deeper, stranger meanings when we realize that Ariel is haunted by the disappearance of her best friend, Jeni, who vanished without a trace a few years before, closing Ariel’s heart and changing her forever. Ariel wonders if she will ever be fully alive, until she meets three mysterious, beautiful and seductive young people living in a strange old house in the Berkeley hills. Through them Ariel will unravel the mystery of her best friend’s disappearance and face a chilling choice.
BookCase.Club always send interesting books in my chosen genre. While not new they are lesser known and new to me so that works. I love finding new authors and checking out all of their works and this box is great for that. The books this month were both paperbacks which is perfect going into the summer months so I can curl up at the pool or the beach and really dig in. I can’t wait to get started with these and see what they send next month.
