I relished the first two books in this series ( The Dark Days Club and The Dark Days Pact ) and this final Bath-set instalment is a fittingly thrilling feast of fantastical foe-fighting and illicit liaisons.
Spirited Lady Helen might be in the throes of finalising her wedding plans, but she has far greater matters to attend to, such as defeating the Grand Deceiver. Alongside the high-stakes, high-octane action, the delicious duplicity of Helen’s double-life existence further flavours this novel with edge and intrigue.
While “her aunt and uncle, along with the rest of society, were under the impression that she had spent the last six months enjoying the delights of Brighton and Bath”, Helen had, in fact, been engaged in “killing murderers, and becoming one half of the Grand Reclaimer with Lord Carlston” as a member of the demon-fighting Dark Days Club.
Talking of whom, Helen’s relationship with Carlston is a frisson-fuelled delight, thronging with “will they? Won’t they?” tension.
Wildly inventive, and driven by the vitalities and conflicts of an engaging heroine, this trilogy is a magnificent melange of history, fantasy and heart-pounding passion.
The thrilling, genre-bending conclusion to the Dark Days trilogy!

Bath, 1812. As Lady Helen prepares for her grand wedding to the Duke of Selburn, she must juggle her new responsibilities with her duties as a demon-hunting Grand Reclaimer. Now a dyad with Lord Carlston, bonded in blood, the two prepare to confront their nemesis, the Grand Deceiver. Set against the glittering background of Regency society, Helen and Carlston's story hurtles to a shocking conclusion full of passion, betrayal, and heartbreak.
High-octane demon fighting, Regency social politics, angst-ridden romance and the best heroine of all time - I could read about Lady Helen for ever. - Lauren James, author of 'The Loneliest Girl in the Universe'
A mesmerising marriage between Regency romance and urban fantasy that is both impeccably researched and wonderfully paced. I devoured this series. - Sabaa Tahir, author New York Times bestseller ' An Ember in the Ashes '
An enormously satisfying conclusion to Alison Goodman's brilliant trilogy. I read it in two huge gulps, delighted by the breathless excitement, swoon-inducing romance and clever plotting. A complete triumph. - Laura Wood, author of 'A Sky Painted Gold'
