"The Dark Days Club captivates with a mix of history and fantasy. [An] immersive, action-packed narrative." --USA Today's Happy Ever After

"It's London 1812 like you've never seen it: with demonic creatures and theirslayers. Lady Helen Wrexhall takes the Buffy-esque role in The Dark DaysClub ...Helen has to fight between two sides of herself as a proper lady and a kickbutt slayer. Feminists swoon!" --Bustle.com

* "Delicious. . . . 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." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Fast-paced, rich in description, with fascinating characters and excitement, this tale from Australian author Goodman will leave fantasy fans wanting more." --School Library Journal, starred review

"A nail-bitingly exciting story of espionage and gallantry, with a horribly well-imagined demonic element." --Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine

"[The Dark Days Club] takes off in a delightful way, juxtaposing the laced-up expectations of society against the newly stirring blood of a worthy heroine. . . . Try this with fans of genre twisters such as Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." --Booklist

"[Goodman's] impeccable research shines through on every page . . . and brings to life questions of freedom and choice for women. Readers willing to embrace the deep, deliberately paced journey will find the pace and tension increasing until the end leaves them eager for the next volume." --Kirkus Reviews

"Goodman's research is evident as interesting details are revealed concerning the time period's social, environmental, and political issues ...The paranormal aspect of Helen's world is well-conceived." --VOYA

PRAISE FOR ALISON GOODMAN:

"I literally held my breath through much of this exciting book as Eon walks a razor's edge among powerful, plotting lords . . . I loved it. Can't wait for the sequel!"--Tamora Pierce on Eon

Goodman catapults the reader headfirst into a pivotal moment in the Empire of the Celestial Dragons, a world so richly imagined that it feels real."--Booklist , starred review for Eon

There, she meets Lord Carlston, one of the few who can stop the perpetrators: a cabal of demons infiltrating every level of society.
