The Dark Days Pact
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Summer, 1812.
After the scandalous events at her presentation ball in London, Lady Helen has taken refuge at the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton, banished from her family and training as a Reclaimer with the covert Dark Days Club. She must learn to fight the dangerous energy-wielding Deceivers and prepare to face their master, the elusive Grand Deceiver.
As she struggles to put aside her genteel upbringing, Helen realizes that her mentor, Lord Carlston, is fighting his own inner battle. Has the foul Deceiver energy poisoned his soul, or is something else driving him towards violent bouts of madness? Either way, Helen is desperate to help the man with whom she shares a deep but forbidden connection.
When Mr. Pike, the hard bureaucratic heart of the Dark Days Club, arrives in Brighton, he has a secret mission for Helen: find the journal left by a mad rogue Reclaimer, before it falls into the hands of the Deceivers. Coerced by Pike, Helen has no choice but to do as ordered, knowing that the search for the journal may bring about Lord Carlston’s annihilation.

- Sequel to New York Times bestselling author Alison Goodman's acclaimed The Dark Days Club—a smashing combination of Buffy and Jane Austen!
Summer, 1812.
After the scandalous events at her presentation ball in London, Lady Helen has taken refuge at the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton, banished from her family and training as a Reclaimer with the covert Dark Days Club. She must learn to fight the dangerous energy-wielding Deceivers and prepare to face their master, the elusive Grand Deceiver.
As she struggles to put aside her genteel upbringing, Helen realizes that her mentor, Lord Carlston, is fighting his own inner battle. Has the foul Deceiver energy poisoned his soul, or is something else driving him towards violent bouts of madness? Either way, Helen is desperate to help the man with whom she shares a deep but forbidden connection.
When Mr. Pike, the hard bureaucratic heart of the Dark Days Club, arrives in Brighton, he has a secret mission for Helen: find the journal left by a mad rogue Reclaimer, before it falls into the hands of the Deceivers. Coerced by Pike, Helen has no choice but to do as ordered, knowing that the search for the journal may bring about Lord Carlston’s annihilation. - seriesId

Following the events of The Dark Days Club (2016), Lady Helen is back, still grappling with propriety and power. Amid the seasonal intrigue in Brighton, Lady Helen Wrexhall has begun her Reclaimer training in earnest, supported by a motley crew: Lady Margaret and her brother (who have an unexpected past); Delia Cransdon, not quite ruined by a failed elopement; stalwart servants Darby and Mr. Quinn (a Pacific Islander, the only person of color in a sea of Regency white); and of course the enigmatic and entirely too attractive Lord Carlston, who may be slipping into madness from his repeated encounters with the terrifying Deceivers who walk among and feed off humankind. Goodman delicately balances multiple strands, tying together a slow but steady plot that moves inexorably to an action-packed climax, with a love triangle that is thematically perfect: Selburn celebrates and cherishes Helen, while Carlston pushes her. In love as in her Reclaimer powers, Helen must determine her willingness to break the rules and be her own woman, making mistakes along the way and pushing back against those, both human and Deceiver, who seek to control her. It all plays out against an impeccably researched and detailed Regency setting, and if too much time is spent in Helen's head--well, she has a great deal to understand, and it's not surprising if it's taking her time to find her way through. The fantasy/Regency/history mashup readers didn't even know they wanted. (Historical fantasy. 13 & up)COPYRIGHT(2016) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Gr 9 Up-Following The Dark Days Club, this is the second book in this well-received series that blends Regency romance with supernatural adventure. In this installment, Lady Helen has moved to a fashionable seaside resort town, purportedly to recover from an incident in London that introduced her to the Dark Days Club and the hidden, esoteric work of the Reclaimers. However, her time is actually devoted to training so that she can fight the demonic Deceivers. Before Lady Helen's training is complete, she uncovers a supernatural conspiracy and struggles to learn the truth about it while also protecting her mentor, Lord Carlston, who is fighting his own internal demons. A fast-moving plot, intriguing paranormal elements, and a developing love triangle make this book hard to put down. Diverse, well-drawn supporting characters add depth, and readers will find it difficult not to root for the first female Reclaimer-a strong yet relatable protagonist. VERDICT This stand-alone series title is recommended as a first purchase. With obvious appeal to fantasy readers, this novel will also draw teens who enjoy historical fiction and mysteries.-Sunnie Scarpa, Wallingford Public Library, CT

Lady Helen (�cf2]The Dark Days Club�cf1]) begins her training with the dashing but aloof Lord Carlston to fight demonic Deceivers. Along with the standard Regency-England societal proprieties, she must further abjure expectations and convincingly disguise herself as a man for secretive missions as a new member of the Dark Days Club. Goodman elegantly inserts supernatural elements into a meticulously evoked historical setting.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
