Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd
3.0
Welcome to the second instalment of Megan Shepherd's "The Madman's Daughter" which features a slight remake of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
After one year of pain and many tries to live with her nightmares, Juliet finds herself admist London as a murder targets people she knows. When Edward and Montgomery start to appear, then tragedy arises.
I had high expectations for the second book. I liked the general idea of testing the boundaries of humanity and self preservation but Juliet felt very off in the story. She appears too weak, too docile and in a point she makes easy choices which result on inflicting pain to the others. Istead Iliked Lucy and Baltazar. Despite being secondary characters they are strong and help Juliet in every way they can.
While the story ends in a pecurial cligghanger, I am relucant to read thefinal book. The male characters are flawed but Edward is the one who suffers much, maybe too much. I hope this will change on the final book.
