Goodreads Description:
To defeat the darkness, she must first embrace it.
Months have passed since Juliet Moreau returned to civilization after escaping her father's island—and the secrets she left behind. Now, back in London once more, she is rebuilding the life she once knew and trying to forget Dr. Moreau’s horrific legacy—though someone, or something, hasn’t forgotten her.
As people close to Juliet fall victim one by one to a murderer who leaves a macabre calling card of three clawlike slashes, Juliet fears one of her father’s creations may have also escaped the island. She is determined to find the killer before Scotland Yard does, though it means awakening sides of herself she had thought long banished, and facing loves from her past she never expected to see again.
As Juliet strives to stop a killer while searching for a serum to cure her own worsening illness, she finds herself once more in the midst of a world of scandal and danger. Her heart torn in two, past bubbling to the surface, life threatened by an obsessive killer—Juliet will be lucky to escape alive.
With inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this is a tantalizing mystery about the hidden natures of those we love and how far we’ll go to save them from themselves.
Review:
2 things I will mention about this book. So shes is fearing the madness that runs in her family, shes is kind of scared to be like her dad, but there is a part of her that kind of likes the madness.
I GET THAT!
There are times in my life that im just like, this is it, im officially going to go insane this time around, I am going to finally loose it, and its scary as hell, fearing that you WILL trully go insane. But other times, when its this like... Anger that makes you kind of loose it, you embrace it, and by YOU I mean me xD Its kind of what gives me strength, I get a bit revengeful you know? and by revengeful I mean that I get a bit female doggish.
Another thing I will talk about from this book. The love triangle got on my nerves. Like... BIG TIME!!!! How do I say this without spoiling... Shes like.. I love pepper, let me put pepper on this and then 2 seconds later she's like I hate pepper! Let me use salt instead and this goes on a lot >.> It was too much for my tastes.
Okay 3 things. While the triangle irked me, it was all super well written, I can see why people like this series, I really do. Juliet is more about finding herself in this one, but not just that, to try to understand herself a bit more. Discover it.
Recommend it?
Aaaahh.. its not bad, yeah I recommend it.
