Alison Goodman is the New York Times bestselling author of Eon and Eona, which have been sold into 18 countries and translated into 11 languages. She has taught creative writing at postgraduate level and professionally mentors a small number of writers. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband and their Machiavellian Jack Russell terrier.
This is great fun: vivid Regency drama with a demonic supernatural
twist.
*The Bookseller*
In a delicious collision of Regency romance and dark fantasy,
Goodman (Eona) tells the story of Lady Helen Wrexhall, a wealthy
18-year-old orphan on the eve of coming out at the court of King
George III […] Lady Helen is a well-drawn heroine, and her struggle
to free herself from the stilted life of an early-19th-century
noblewoman and embrace her wilder, darker self is powerfully
delineated.

The Dark Days Club is beautifully written, absolutely captivating
and left me wanting more.
*Love Reading 4 Kids*
The Dark Days Club was modern and classic all at the same time and
I loved it! It was a whole new world of excitement, twists and
turns, that I never saw coming.
*Love Reading 4 Kids*
I really loved this book! The best part was the ending, and I can't
wait until the next book is released.
*Love Reading 4 Kids*
This is a compelling read, combining a richly detailed Regency
London setting with a shadowy world of demons and violence.
*Love Reading 4 Kids*
It’s a simple concept, of course, and one that’s hardly original,
but what makes this a success is that it’s written in such a
wholeheartedly convincing style: the research into London in 1812
is impeccable, from the Pride and Prejudice-echoing dances to the
politics of the day. The prose is as witty as Elizabeth Bennet
herself and the whole book is a joy from start to finish. We’ll be
hearing more from Lady Helen – thank the lud.
*SFX Magazine*
It’s refreshing to see a character like Helen: not a 21st century
heroine effortlessly transcending the oppressive 19th century
setting, but a normal girl who resists the temptation of this
dangerous path. Helen’s torn between her desire for a proper future
and her fascination with her strange abilities, and it’s in those
moments of doubt when her courage and reason shine through the
most. Lucky for us, this fantastic introduction leaves us hungry
for more.
*Entertainment Weekly*
The Dark Days Club was a great mix of fantasy, history and romance
with classic YA heroes and heroines and I would definitely
recommend it to fans of The Infernal Devices or The Diviners series
where the fantasy element and the rich historical background blend
together really well. I would probably recommend this for the
beautiful detail of Regency London alone and think anyone even
vaguely interested in the era would find it enjoyable!
*Bookish at Heart*
“The Dark Days Club was one of my favourite books I read last
year.”
