#BookReview: The Persephone Code by Julia Golding

Synopsis: Bridgerton meets The Da Vinci Code in the most page-turning book you will read in 2024!

You don’t dabble in satanism. You sell your soul to the devil or not at all.

1812

Deep below the hills of the Buckinghamshire countryside, the infamous Hellfire Caves house a pleasure palace for the idle rich – a secret society steeped in satanism, opium and debauchery of the highest order.

When the club’s warden, Antony Pennington, is brutally murdered, his bastard sister, Dora, must follow the clues to decode who the killer is, aided by an unexpected ally – ex-Army officer, former opium addict and son of a Viscount, Dr Jacob Sandys.

As a shadow dogs their every footstep, Dora and Jacob find themselves in the midst of a shocking conspiracy, caught between the legendary Illuminati and the Hell Fire Club. With time running out, they must fight against both the most influential gentleman of the ton – and the undeniable attraction they feel towards each other…

My Review: Woof! Let me tell you about this book my human has been reading. It's called "The Persephone Code." It's all about this lady named Dora and this nice doctor named Jacob. They're trying to solve a mystery about some guy named Antony who got hurt really bad. Oh, and there's this place called the Hellfire Club, which sounds kind of scary!

Dora seems like a cool lady. She used to be a merchant's daughter, but now she's an actress! That sounds like fun. And Jacob is super smart, but he's also battling something called an opium addiction. I don't know what that is, but it sounds tough.

The book is set a long time ago, when people didn't have cars or phones. It's full of cool old-timey stuff, like fancy dresses and big houses. My human says it's historically accurate, whatever that means.

But there's something my human didn't like about the ending. They said it felt rushed and some of the choices the main guy made were weird. But they still liked the writing and thought Dora and Jacob were neat characters.

Overall, it sounds like a pretty good book! Maybe I'll ask my human to read it to me sometime. Woof!
