About this audiobook
CONAN DOYLE CAN'T SOLVE THE GHOST CLUB'S DEADLY CURSE. PERHAPS EVIE WINSTANLEY CAN.
'A delicious sequel, full of supernatural intrigue' GREG MOSSE
'A wonderful sequel . . . Here's to many more adventures!' TIM MAJOR
December 1904. Evie has set up an occult detective agency in Bloomsbury. But supernatural cases are thin on the ground - especially for a woman. But that won't stop her.
She's almost out of money when Arthur Conan Doyle appears with a case: to investigate the recent horrifying deaths of members of the Ghost Club, a secret society devoted to the paranormal.
Pulled into a world of spectres and secrets, Evie turns to Kit - a reluctant psychic whom she once turned down. He wants nothing to do with the supernatural, but as the bodies mount and the veil between worlds thins, Evie needs him. And perhaps, despite himself, Kit needs her too.
Together, they uncover a conspiracy that extends from wild parties in Belgravia to the shabby streets of Soho. Behind it all lurks a dangerous occult magician, ready to destroy anyone who gets in his way. He knows what Evie's capable of. And it seems he has a plan - to lead her down with him into darkness.
Domain of Darkness is a chilling gothic steeped in yearning, menace, and the world of the unseen. Blending historical fantasy with a dark detective adventure, this is perfect for readers who love suspenseful reads and to be kept awake with a dash of horror.
Netgalley readers LOVE Domain of Darkness!
5* If you like strong and realistic heroines, rich historical detail, slow-burn romance, and suddenly creepy scenes that catch you by surprise (and keep you up at night), you'll love this wonderful series.
5* I cannot wait for the third book in the series and see where Evie's investigations will take her next!
5* If you're looking for a truly immersive gothic, historical fantasy with a dash of horror and plenty of tension, be sure to pick this one up
5* [C]reepy and atmospheric . . . I love Evie and want to read more with her!
