Polite society meets murderous monsters in Alison Goodman’s YA debut, ‘The Dark Days Club’. Charming, compelling and impressively historically accurate to top it off, this book is definitely one for Cassandra Clare and Austen fans alike.
After we flew through this gorgeous 500-page story, published only last week, we took to Twitter to see if everyone else was feeling the same way we did. Turns out, it wasn’t just us who lost sleep in order to spend a little more time with Lady Helen and Lord Carlston. Check out the top tweets we found:

Ok @AlisonGoodman you owe me a night's sleep. THE DARK DAYS CLUB is so compulsively readable that today is chopped liver.

I absolutely devoured #DarkDaysClub! Can't wait for the next Lady Helen book. I have suspicions about a few characters…@WalkerBooksUK
