What reading level is The Black Diamond book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The servant had been blatantly rude, he reflected with a twinge of amusement. Oh, not at first. Not until Julian had announced himself. But once he'd heard the name Bencroft, the prim fellow had gone rigid, informing Julian that the earl was a very busy man and doubtless would be unable to see an unexpected guest. Then with a frosty glare, he'd stalked off to announce Julian's arrival. The question was, was the butler's flagrant disapproval based on what he'd doubtless overheard about last night...'s scandal with Aurora or did it stem from the mere fact that Julian was a Bencroft? More to the point, how heavily steeped in age-old hatred was Pembourne's staff and, most particularly, was its master? Pensively Julian contemplated that thought. He scarcely knew Slayde Huntley. They'd crossed paths at Oxford and more recently at White's, on those rare occasions when Julian's sporadic journeys back to English soil corresponded with Slayde's equally infrequent trips home. It seemed the two of them were both wanderers, loners plagued by the past's grim echoes. Echoes that incited them, whether out of an innate sense of unease or a desire to escape all reminders of an unrelenting past, to avoid each other, never sharing more than a cursory nod or a fleeting word. Except when Hugh died. Julian could still recall the genuine sorrow on Slayde's face when he'd approached Julian at the university, offered his sympathy—despite, and in full view of, the stunned, prying stares of their fellow classmates, many of whom half believed in the existence of the black diamond's ancient curse and thus entertained the possibility that the Huntleys were responsible for Hugh's death. Slayde's act had been a courageous one.
