For April, subscribers picked from the following 5 books:

I'm reviewing The Love Interest.

The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich - Retail Value $17.99 (On Amazon for $12.32)

Book Summary from Amazon:

There is a secret organization that cultivates teenage spies. The agents are called Love Interests because getting close to people destined for great power means getting valuable secrets.

Caden is a Nice: The boy next door, sculpted to physical perfection. Dylan is a Bad: The brooding, dark-souled guy, and dangerously handsome. The girl they are competing for is important to the organization, and each boy will pursue her. Will she choose a Nice or the Bad?

Both Caden and Dylan are living in the outside world for the first time. They are well-trained and at the top of their games. They have to be – whoever the girl doesn’t choose will die.

What the boys don’t expect are feelings that are outside of their training. Feelings that could kill them both.

I had to pick this book! The plot is so unique! (Or at least I haven't come across any other book like this in my YA reading.)

 

I finished this book in two days. It's one of those stories that grabs you immediately and I didn't even take a break until I got to the third section. (The first two parts of the book held my attention more than the last part.)

And while I wish some parts/characters had been more fleshed out, I would definitely read a book about Natalie's origin story!

Verdict:  I'm very pleased with the value of my Book of the Month subscription. The prices are better than Amazon for new hardcover releases, and they always feature a good mix of popular new books. (In this case, the book I picked won't even be released until May 16th!)

And I love that you can skip any month you aren't interested in, and you can also buy books from previous months as add-ons for $9.99.

Plus I love that I could get this book before it is even released to the public for sale!

My favorite part of BOTM is discovering a great new read and my favorite part of MSA is finding the missed copied line from last month because there is ALWAYS one. Mays: “I’m reviewing Startup.”
