“Alison Goodman's spectacular young adult novel set in the 19th-century court of England's King George III will delight fantasy readers and fans of Regency romance alike.

ANZ: HarperCollins; UK: Walker Books ; CAN: Penguin Canada Books ; France: Gallimard

In a delicious collision of Regency romance and dark fantasy, Goodman (Eona) tells the story of Lady Helen Wrexhall, a wealthy 18-year-old orphan on the eve of coming out at the court of King George III...Lady Helen is a well-drawn heroine, and her struggle to free herself from the stilted life of an early-19th- century noblewoman and embrace her wilder, darker self is powerfully delineated.

THE DARK DAYS CLUB is an 2016 Aurealis Award nominee for Best Young Adult Novel.

Fast-paced, rich in description, with fascinating characters and excitement, this tale from Australian author Goodman will leave fantasy fans wanting more. VERDICT: With mass crossover appeal, this genre-pushing tale will be enjoyed by those who don’t usually read historical romances or supernatural works.

It’s refreshing to see a character like Helen: Not a 21st century heroine effortlessly transcending the oppressive 19th century setting, but a normal girl who resists the temptation of this dangerous path... Lucky for us, this fantastic introduction leaves us hungry for more.
