 Review: It's been a year since I've read The Madmad's Daughter and I loved it. It got twists and turns and especially a grand plot twist in like the last page. I actually also loved Her Dark Curiosity, but not as I did with The Madman's Daughter that blew me away. 
 I seriously liked what the writing got to offer, it was genuinely descriptive. It hired creepiness and mysterious in it. It was what I got to read in The Madman's Daughter as well and I loved it. It hit high on my imagination, high enough to actually make me shiver in the middle of the night or even day. It was also very clever of Shepherd because she ended every chapter with suspicious and mind-blowing lines/sentences. 
 In Her Dark Curiosity, there was still action-packed and twists and turns just like the first book, but there were still more. I grew to like this setting in the London even more than on the island, I got chill running down my spine because of what Juliet's father experiment has got to be, it was more possessive. It was really entertaining with every running and facing the monster. The ending was every evil when Juliet figured out her plans and got it done. 
 I've figured that Juliet wasn't who I had seen her to be. I knew her to be strong, matured, and stood up for herself. In this book, I think she was more like an idiotic person. She made wrong decision that made me roll my eyes too much more than I expected, sometimes she said something so stupid, which was too much out of her character. I did not like her character development at all, especially the reason behind why she did it. Edward has appeared to be more gentle now, but I wasn't sure if I liked him because of his monster. I mean, I thought them two could mix up with each other pretty badly and I trusted neither. I don't like Edward at a point where he warned Juliet off Montgomery just because he wanted Juliet for himself. Montgomery wasn't my favorite character either. He appeared only about half of the book when I thought he finally got kicked out completely. 
 Overall: I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thriller and horror books, even though it is more subtle. I liked the creepiness and the plot and the characters were so enjoyable to read about. I hope this continues up to the third book.
