À propos de cet audio
London, April 1812. Eighteen-year-old Lady Helen Wrexhall is on the eve of her debut presentation to the Queen. Her life should be about gowns and dancing, and securing a suitable marriage. Instead, when one of her family's housemaids goes missing, Lady Helen is drawn to the shadows of Regency London.
There, she finds William, the Earl of Carlston. 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. But Lady Helen's curiosity is the last thing Carlston wants - especially when he sees the searching intelligence behind her fluttering fan. 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?
In The Dark Days Club, internationally best-selling author Alison Goodman introduces listeners to a heroine who is just as remarkable as Eona - and yet again reinvents an established literary genre, making it her own.

"Narrator Fiona Hardingham expertly portrays the characters in this novel with doses of snobbery, passion, and wit.... Hardingham consistently engages the listener, keeping the action and dialogue moving at an excellent pace." (AudioFile)
Helen is a young woman whose search for a missing maid turns into a web of family truths, magic, and a secret society led by an enigmatic and unconventional lord.
The characters are all engaging and interesting. Helen struggles to resist her desire for a normal life to appease her family, and her newfound desire for answers and the power the society grants her. Carlston is intense and broody and someone I want to know more about as his attraction to Helen strengthens. Though Darby was my favourite of all the characters. She is the best maid and best friend a girl could ask for and I will riot if she doesn’t get a happily ever after like she deserves.
The plot is a little slower, weaving a lot of threads and keeping plenty of pokers in the fire. There was a good deal of exposition as Helen was drawn into the Club, but I never felt bored. The world building makes for immersive reading while being complicated enough to be intriguing. The writing is strong and ends in a way that leaves me wanting more. DARK DAYS CLUB caught my interest and I’m curious about what comes next!
