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.

I wasn't sure I liked this initially but it managed to suck me in quite effectively when I wasn't paying attention. Unexpectedly clever in all sorts of ways. Highly recommended to everyone, even people who don't usually like this sort of thing.
I recieved a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.
Woooow
I really liked the first one, especially because of the setting in the beginning of the XIXth century, but this one is even better in my opinion. There's a lot more action and the plot seems more complex than in the Dark Days Club book, so I'm glad this one isn't just a filler to introduce the last book and therefore the peak of the story.
holy biscuits this series is intent on giving me everything but also somehow ripping out my heart and stomping on it. i cannot believe that it ended with lady helen bonding with carlston but engaged to selburn and with elise alive. i love helen so much and she's such a strong protagonist who's absolutely fascinating. she makes some really tough decisions in this book and this entire world is utterly enthralling. absolutely cannot wait for the third book!!
