I'm biased AF because it's my childhood
Don't binge this series since there are many reminders from the last book's content and it can become annoying real quick.

nebraskanwriter's review against another edition
I have loved this series thus far and loved the way the author wrote the story. But starting at the 50% mark, it seemed as though she decided to throw every possible thing at Lady Helen all at once. There were so many insane things that put Helen in such compromising situations that I just don't think would ever actually happen. My main issue was after they try to get the journal from Lowry and the Duke comes by when they're all fighting, sees Helen and over hears the twin brother talking to Helen about the Dark Days Club. So, naturally, Pike must make the Duke of Selburn a member of the Dark Days Club because otherwise their positions are all compromised I just couldn't believe it and after that scene, I DNF'd it because it was just becoming too ridiculous at this point. There is no way Pike would allow that to happen and no way that the other Duke would ever let that fly. How this person so easily joined the Dark Days Club out of thin air and was told all the Dark Days Club secrets even though this person literally just joined and prior had no knowledge of the supernatural world was just so unbelievable to me.
