Goodreads summary: New York Times bestseller Alison Goodman's eagerly awaited new project: a Regency adventure starring a stylish and intrepid demon-hunter!
London, April 1812. On the eve of eighteen-year-old Lady Helen Wrexhall's presentation to the queen, one of her family's housemaids disappears - and Helen is drawn into the shadows of Regency London. There, she meets Lord Carlston, one of the few who can stop the perpetrators: a cabal of demons infiltrating every level of society. Dare she ask for his help, when his reputation is almost as black as his lingering eyes? And will her intelligence and headstrong curiosity wind up leading them into a death trap?
MY THOUGHTS
I heard about this book at the beginning of this year and I got excited right away. I'm so eager to know more about the Regency - because I'm French, so I only know our side of history. 19th century is a time period I love, so I'm really excited. Moreover, it is about hunting demons, which I also love. I know it won't be the same (and I don't want that) but I totally have an Infernal Devices vibe from this book, even if it's not the same period exactly. Because of that, I sure want to read this book!
What do you think of this book? Which book are you excited for this Wednesday?
Oh, I want to read this as well. And I just love that cover. Great pick! Thanks for sharing, and happy Wednesday! :)

I love that cover! I wanted to buy the paperback edition but I like the hardcover edition (this one) so much more! The struggle of a broke bookworm, ha-ha. Have a nice Wednesday too! :)

ReplyDeleteYes I know, I'm just in fangirling mode about it! :)

ReplyDeleteMy birthday is in February so I have to make my parents buy it at that time! It's an Australian author, so it's a nice change for me :)
DeleteOoh love historical fantasy. This one is intriguing. Been wanting to read her previous Eon series but haven't been able to get to it. Looking forward to this one though. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!

Historical fantasy is one of my favourite genres, with high fantasy :) I should read her Eon series because dragons I think? Dragons are great, but there are so many other books in my TBR^^
