You may even shudder and feel a bit squeamish at times, but this is typical of this genre story and is part of the book experience. And yes, it does contain descriptions of gruesome experiments, but in a good, "Oh, that's gross" kind of way. The book has a wonderfully dark atmosphere and has both elements of horror and romance. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius-and madness-in her own blood. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.Īccompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward-both of whom she is deeply drawn to-Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans.
After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London-working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. My Rating: 5 Stars In the darkest places, even love is deadly. Autho r Info: Website | Twitter | Goodreads
