The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman
5.0
The Dark Days Pact doesn't suffer from a lack of intrigue and action. Far from it. Whereas The Dark Days Club was a little slow to get going - the author needing to show just how constrained society was for women at this period - Book 2 neatly sidesteps the problem by having Lady Helen learning to walk and talk just like a man.
As soon as that's been accomplished, Lady Helen finds herself caught in the middle of a number of different intrigues as she tries to please everyone, and initially, fails quite magnificently.
If anything, my only slight problem with the novel is the Duke of Selburn, who quite simply, gets in the way time and time again. As others have mentioned - you can't help wondering if he is The Great Deceiver but that is not answered in this novel, and possibly won't be for a good few to go.
Bring on Book 3!
