          This is a new subscription box for me from CrateJoy. My Thrill Club delivers the best in Crime & Mystery, Thriller & Espionage, and Horror. Pick a category then each month you receive 2 books and a movie for $14.99 OR 2 Movies and a Book, your choice! Thrillers, Mystery, Horror, Spy Books and Movies. My chooce was 2 books and a movie. So let us get into the box.

          Like I previously said and can been seen in the picture I got two books and a movie. 

          I’ve never seen this movie before so I’m super excited to watch it. From the description on the back of the box this is about a good boy who comes out of a mafia family only to go back in as a request from the FBI.

          The first book is called The Ambassador’s Wife. From GoodReads: “When bohemian artist Miranda falls in love with Finn, the British ambassador to an Arab country, she finds herself thrust into a life for which she has no preparation. The couple and their toddler daughter live in a stately mansion with a staff to meet their every need, but for Miranda even this luxury comes at a price: the loss of freedom. Trailed everywhere by bodyguards to protect her from the dangers of a country wracked by civil war and forced to give up work she loves, she finds her world shattered when she is taken hostage, an act of terror with wide-reaching consequences.

Diplomatic life is a far cry from Miranda’s first years in Mazrooq, which were spent painting and mentoring a group of young Muslim women, teaching them to draw in ways forbidden in their culture. As the novel weaves together past and present, we come to see how Finn and Miranda’s idealism and secrets they have each sought to hide have placed them and those who trust them in peril. And when Miranda grows close to a child who shares her captivity, it is not clear that even being set free would restore the simple happiness that once was hers and Finn’s. Suspenseful and moving, The Ambassador’s Wife is a story of love, marriage, and friendship tested by impossible choices.”

          The second book is called Dominion. From GoodReads: “1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi  The global economy strains against the weight of the long German war against Russia still raging in the east. The British people find themselves under increasingly authoritarian rule--the press, radio, and television tightly controlled, the British Jews facing ever greater constraints.

But Churchill's Resistance soldiers on. As defiance grows, whispers circulate of a secret that could forever alter the balance of the global struggle. The keeper of that secret? Scientist Frank Muncaster, who languishes in a Birmingham mental hospital.

Civil Servant David Fitzgerald, a spy for the Resistance and University friend of Frank's, is given the mission to rescue Frank and get him out of the country. Hard on his heels is Gestapo agent Gunther Hoth, a brilliant, implacable hunter of men, who soon has Frank and David's innocent wife, Sarah, directly in his sights.

C.J. Sansom's literary thriller Winter in Madrid earned Sansom comparisons to Graham Greene, Sebastian Faulks, and Ernest Hemingway. Now, in his first alternative history epic, Sansom doesn't just recreate the past--he reinvents it. In a spellbinding tale of suspense, oppression and poignant love, DOMINION dares to explore how, in moments of crisis, history can turn on the decisions of a few brave men and women--the secrets they choose to keep and the bonds they share.”

          Both books sound really interesting and I can't wait to get into them! I think I'm going to like this book subscription box as my no fuss no muss book/movie subscription.
