But what kept me going was characters I couldn't get enough of and writing that made me feel like I was being given my own little window to peek in on the higher society of Regency life. I felt her frustration when answers were slow to come initially and felt like this may have been drawn out just a little too much.
Right away I was able to connect with Lady Helen as she set out to find out more about her mother, Lord Carlsten and why she was different which drew me further into the story. Right from the beginning I was intrigued by Lady Helen and her life such as it was and I was eager to find out all about her special abilities. When I sat down to read it, it didn't disappoint! Whilst I could see the Buffy comparison, I also enjoyed it for many other reasons. This description excited me and I was quick to add it to the top of my reading list anxious to get started on reading it. One of the first things I heard about this book after opting to read and review it was hearing it described as in the vein of Buffy the Vampire slayer in the Regency era. In The Dark Days Club, internationally bestselling author Alison Goodman introduces readers to a heroine who is just as remarkable as Eona-and yet again reinvents an established literary genre, making it her own. Should Helen trust a man whose reputation is almost as black as his lingering eyes? And will her headstrong sense of justice lead them both into a death trap? But Lady Helen's curiosity is the last thing Carlston wants-especially when he sees the searching intelligence behind her fluttering fan. He has noticed the disappearance, too, and is one of the few who can stop the perpetrators: a cabal of powerful demons that has infiltrated every level of society. There, she finds William, the Earl of Carlston.
Instead, when one of her family's housemaids goes missing, Lady Helen is drawn to the shadows of Regency London. Her life should be about gowns and dancing, and securing a suitable marriage. Eighteen-year-old Lady Helen Wrexhall is on the eve of her debut presentation to the Queen.
