The Persephone Code by Julia Golding
Expected publication: May 17, 2024 by One More Chapter
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…
Everything about this synopsis is screaming out to me to read it. I love historical romance and sounds like there will be some thrilling action as well with Illuminati and the Hell Fire Club being involved. And of course the cover is really pretty!
Are you also looking forward to this book? What do you think of it?

This sounds like your kind of book for sure! And I think it’s my kind of book too. Thanks for putting it on my radar😁
You had me at Bridgerton and Da Vinci Code!
This doesn’t sound like something I would necessarily consider, but I bet lots of people will love it, especially given how much loved Bridgerton is right now. Hope you love it!
I’m interested to see how Bridgerton and Da Vinci Code can be combined.
That sounds super cute!!! I love the cover.
This one had me at “Illuminati and the Hell Fire Club”. This sounds like such a fun read! I hope you love it when you read it! Adding it to my wish list.
