Lusus Naturae: A Lord Carlston Story by Alison Goodman

4.0

Lusus Naturae is such a short novella that it probably doesn’t need a review, but since The Literary Piratesses and I (my phenomenal book group that will be introduced to my blog soon!) love The Dark Days Club (book 1) and The Dark Days Pact (book 2) so much, I decided to post my thoughts on this awesome novella! For those that love Regency London, look no further than this amazing series!

This novella is told from Lord Carlston’s perspective upon meeting Lady Helen in The Dark Days Club. We get a very intriguing perspective of how he views Helen upon first meeting. We also get a glimpse of his doubts toward her ability, and get a little more of his personality than we did in book 1. There is a surprising twist that we learn about, which were unaware of in books 1-2. I feel that the novella was a nice addition to the story line and felt like it stayed true to the books in both writing style, and character traits.
