Overall this was incredibly fun read and an excellent continuation of this series.

The book doesn’t really focus on romance but more focuses on Lady Helen’s training and her learning to use her abilities. There is a lot of action and intrigue in this book as well as some romance. Then tension between the two is delicious. Lady Helen in an awesome heroine and Lord Carlston is the perfect match for her in so many ways. I am really enjoying a lot of the characters in this book. We also learn a lot more about the Dark Days Club and it’s interaction with the Crown and more about the Great Deceiver and the Great Reclaimer. I love that she is actually having to undergo training in order to use her abilities (rather than instantly becoming super awesome at it). We learn a lot more more about Lady Helen and her abilities in this book. It was a very entertaining read that I had trouble putting down.
