Lady Helen and the Dark Days Pact

Woooow

I really liked the first one, especially because of the setting in the beginning of the XIXth century, but this one is even better in my opinion. There's a lot more action and the plot seems more complex than in the Dark Days Club book, so I'm glad this one isn't just a filler to introduce the last book and therefore the peak of the story.

I wasn't sure I liked this initially but it managed to suck me in quite effectively when I wasn't paying attention. Unexpectedly clever in all sorts of ways. Highly recommended to everyone, even people who don't usually like this sort of thing.

I recieved a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.

Stick it out

Definitely a slow start, and a little too much romantic angst on the way to the real meat of the story. If you can get past the first third, it's a compelling romp to the end!

holy biscuits this series is intent on giving me everything but also somehow ripping out my heart and stomping on it. i cannot believe that it ended with lady helen bonding with carlston but engaged to selburn and with elise alive. i love helen so much and she's such a strong protagonist who's absolutely fascinating. she makes some really tough decisions in this book and this entire world is utterly enthralling. absolutely cannot wait for the third book!!
