Each month, I will post up a pair (or more) of books. I would like you to vote on a choice. Yes! You will have the job of telling me what to read from my pile each month. I welcome your vote no matter what reason you choose (frivolous, serious or otherwise) that particular book and do share your reason in the comments just because I’m nosy. I will of course share my thoughts on the book itself in my review post.
We’re going with Young Adult Historical as the theme this month. But that is the extent of their similarities.
Candidate #1
The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman
#1 Dark Days Club
YA Historical Fantasy Romance
Blurb:
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?
Candidate #2
Duels and Deception by Cindy Anstey
YA Historical Romantic Suspense
Blurb:
Miss Lydia Whitfield, heiress to the family fortune, has her future entirely planned out. She will run the family estate until she marries the man of her late father’s choosing, and then she will spend the rest of her days as a devoted wife. Confident in those arrangements, Lydia has tasked her young law clerk, Mr. Robert Newton, to begin drawing up the marriage contracts. Everything is going according to plan.
Until Lydia—and Robert along with her—is kidnapped. Someone is after her fortune and won’t hesitate to destroy her reputation to get it. With Robert’s help, Lydia strives to keep her family’s good name intact and expose whoever is behind the devious plot. But as their investigation delves deeper and their affections for each other grow, Lydia starts to wonder whether her carefully planned future is in fact what she truly wants…

Hey all! Leave me your vote in the comments, pretty please!
The poll works again. Sorry I had it set to go live for the wrong date.
LOL No worries! Thanks for figuring it out. 😉 Now, we’re good to go.
Duels and Deception sounds more intriguing with that kidnapping.
Yes! A good good kidnapping to make things interesting. 🙂
I went with Duels and Deception. I don’t know why?
LOL! It just jumped out at you, right? 😉
I voted for The Dark Days Club because I have that one sitting on my shelf waiting to be read and would love to know your thoughts 🙂
Happy to be your guinea pig if it wins. And hey, I can top that since I have the first two on my shelf. LOL
I didn’t realize YA historical books were a thing, I don’t think I ever read a YA historical book. I voted for The Dark Days Club. It sounds intriguing with how it sounds like there’s a paranormal element as well.
It is definitely a thing especially when paired with the paranormal or fantasy. 🙂 So good!
