It’s been
a long time since I’ve finished a book and felt the need to read it again
immediately, but with this Regency-romance-meets-supernatural-thriller, I was in
do-not-disturb heaven from the first page.
When Lady
Helen meets Lord Carlston, a distant relative of dubious character, she is
drawn to his dark and disturbing world.
In a society where every propriety must be observed, will Helen risk her
tenuous reputation to join Lord Carlston in the battle against evil, or will
she deny her calling and turn her back on The Dark Days Club?
This book
is chock full of delicious conflict, and not just the good vs evil variety. I simply cannot wait a full four months until the Dark Days Pact
comes out in January to enter such an exciting and vividly detailed historical world
again. Hence the reason I feel the need –
the need to re-read.
‘I had not thought to find a fellow rationalist
in you, Lady Helen.’
Perhaps it was the pulse that still whispered
through her blood, or the unexpected warmth in his manner, but she found
herself saying, ‘I rather think, Lord Carlston, that you had not thought to
find any thought in me at all.’ – Alison Goodman, Lady Helen and the Dark Days Club
