February 2017 Book of the Month | In a Nutshell: Supernatural Regency Extravaganza | This second book in the lavishly entertaining Lady Helen trilogy - think Jane Austen meets contemporary supernatural sass – more than matches the dark drama of its impressive predecessor.
Having decided to join the charismatic Lord Carlston in the Dark Days Club as a Reclaimer, Lady Helen is undergoing training in Brighton during the summer season. But, before she’s been fully instructed, Carlston feels certain that a Grand Deceiver has arrived on English soil, and defence against Grand Deceivers cannot wait for apprenticeships to be completed… But that’s not all. Lady Helen must also manage the somewhat problematic matter of the Home Office having their own agenda for her, along with some rather taxing matters of the heart.
This glorious sequel has it all for fans of fantasy and historical fiction - paranormal clashes, political intrigue, smoldering romance, a handsomely headstrong heroine, and bejeweled historical detail. The writing fizzes with passion and panache throughout, much like Lady Helen herself. ~ Joanne Owen
The Lady Helen trilogy is set in Regency England; Alison Goodman says: "I like the veneer of civility over raw human emotions, the elegant and opulent surroundings, the fashion, the dancing, and how meeting the eyes of someone or the fleeting touch of their hand can take on enormous meaning. As a writer of historical fiction, I also love how the Regency is like a mirror for today’s society- excessive consumerism, huge divide between rich and poor, and a lot of civil unrest."
