This reminded me of Georgette Heyer – but Georgette Heyer with a demonic / satanic twist. Regency London and a young heiress and debutante is about to be introduced to London society. She is of course looking for that perfect marriage, after all that is what young ladies are supposed to aspire to. There are of course highly suitable men on the ‘circuit’, as it were and of course an anti-hero to set hearts a-flame.
What is the secret that surrounds Lady Helen’s mother? Did she betray England? What is the truth about Lady Helen’s ancestry?
It has lovely detail, a clever plot and is the start of a trilogy.
Something to really get your teeth into!
Sadly I don’t think the cover that this has been given gives the book its due – which is a pity and the book might be overlooked as a result.
As always, never judge a book by its cover… I thoroughly enjoyed it and await the second volume with interest.
