"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week, I'm featuring:
The Dark Day Pact by Alison Goodman
Book Two of the Lady Helen series
Publisher: Viking Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: January 31, 2017
Summary (from Goodreads):
Summer, 1812.
After the scandalous events at her presentation ball in London, Lady Helen has taken refuge at the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton, banished from her family and training as a Reclaimer with the covert Dark Days Club. She must learn to fight the dangerous energy-wielding Deceivers and prepare to face their master, the elusive Grand Deceiver.
As she struggles to put aside her genteel upbringing, Helen realizes that her mentor, Lord Carlston, is fighting his own inner battle. Has the foul Deceiver energy poisoned his soul, or is something else driving him towards violent bouts of madness? Either way, Helen is desperate to help the man with whom she shares a deep but forbidden connection.
When Mr. Pike, the hard bureaucratic heart of the Dark Days Club, arrives in Brighton, he has a secret mission for Helen: find the journal left by a mad rogue Reclaimer, before it falls into the hands of the Deceivers. Coerced by Pike, Helen has no choice but to do as ordered, knowing that the search for the journal may bring about Lord Carlston’s annihilation.
Yaaasss, I adored The Dark Days Club! I cannot wait to read this sequel novel. =)
Thanks for highlighting this one. I actually loved Goodman's Eon/a series so would love to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteHave a look at my #WoW on my Blog
That's great - I loved that duology as well. I hope you read this series and love it!
DeleteI still haven't picked up my copy of the first book, but I definitely want to. I hope this one lives up to your expectations too, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nick! <3
DeleteI still need to grab myself a copy of Dark Days Club! I hope to be able to budget it in soon!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the book (despite the apparent love triangle)! You buy so many books, I'm always so impressed! Hopefully this one makes it on your budget. :)
DeleteI didn't read the Dark Days Club, but this blurb for the second book has me rethinking that plan. It looks so good, maybe closer to Jan. I will read the first book.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Binge-reading books one and two is a great idea!
DeleteI haven't read The Dark Days Club but it is so high on my want list right now, so i can see why this is your choice!
ReplyDeleteHere's my pick for the week :)
Here is a link to my blogoversary giveaway as well!
I hope you like it if you read it, Jade!

DeleteI am so out of the loop. This is the third WoW in a row where the pick is the second book in a series..... and I didn't even know it WAS a series! Once again, I have the first book on my tbr, but I haven't read it yet. Now I'll be adding this one to my tbr also. I really need to catch up! Too many books, not enough time.
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
Don't feel bad! There are just so many books and authors, and so few hours in the day. I hope you like this series if you read it!
DeleteI still need to read book 1 but this sounds great!

DeleteI wish they had a cover for it. In time they will. I enjoyed the Dark Days Club. This second book sounds really good.
