Lady Helen #2
Helen grows by leaps and bounds in this book, and I love it! While The Dark Days Club was full of Helen’s struggle between her duties as a lady and her duties as a reclaimer, The Dark Days Pact is much more about Helen becoming the reclaimer that she was always meant to be, and making all the sacrifices that that entails. While its predecessor was slow to start, this novel picks up the action quickly with Helen being thrust into secret missions and webs of lies. Starting out still unsure of herself, she is soon forced to take matters into her own hands. And by the end of the novel, Helen has transformed into the fearsome leader that she needs to be.

There was some great character development, particularly with Mr. Hammond. He’s quickly turning into one of my favorite characters. And I’m happy that Duke Selburn played a larger role in this novel, I was hoping that there would be more of him. I was a little disappointed with Delia, however. For me she just fell a little flat. I loved the added complications (and in someways uncomplications) of Helen venturing out into society in disguise as Mr. Amberly; it was so fun and entertaining to read. The ending was breakneck and exciting, with too much happening for Helen to even slow down and process it all. This book sets us up for what I expect to be an awesome and explosive conclusion that you won’t want to miss.

    I liked this so much more than the first book. My only complaint is that I wish I had waited to read it till the 3rd one was already out. I hate waiting!
