Her intelligence is a key trait it was delightful that she doesn’t need to be spoon-fed every little detail about the new world in which she finds herself-with a few basic details, she’s perfectly capable of figuring out the implications. Lady Helen is the perfect heroine for this Regency fantasy. Through him she learns the truth of her abilities and must choose between her duty to her country and her desire to lead a normal life. She finds herself drawn into a shadowy side of the world she never knew existed and to the Earl of Carleston. When one of her family’s housemaids goes missing, Lady Helen sets out to investigate. Having grown up being able to read the tiniest signs of emotion in people’s faces, she starts to find herself filled with a restless energy. Which makes it very inconvenient when she starts to manifest unusual abilities. This means that Lady Helen must be a paragon in order to avoid the stain of such an association and marry well. Her parents died under mysterious circumstances no one talks about except to mention the shame Lady Helen’s mother brought to the family. In Regency London, Lady Helen Wrexhall is preparing for her presentation to the queen. If you ever thought Jane Austen needed more demon hunting, The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman is the book for you.
