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.
That cliffhanger in The Madman’s Daughter was BRUTAL, and there is so much unresolved that I’m incredibly eager to find out what happens next. Plus, I am just loving how Shepherd is taking inspiration from, reimagining, and mashing up classic gothic mystery/horrors. The first book was just so freakin’ awesome, and I have very high expectations for Her Dark Curiosity.

One choice will define you.
What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?
The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth’s #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
What’s outside the walls? What’s the purpose of all this mess? What will happen to Tris and Four? I need to know…October is WAY too far away!
So… what are you looking forward to this Wednesday?
Yes, I’m really looking forward to Allegiant! I hope we get all the answers, and that it’s a satisfying conclusion to the series (I will NOT be happy if it turns into another Requiem, but I don’t think it will). I still need to read The Madman’s Daughter!
I still really need to read Insurgent, and you really MUST read The Madman’s Daughter. 😉 It = creepy awesomeness.
I am both really looking forward to both of these! Fabulous picks!
