I can honestly say that I loved this installment just as much as the last one! To read my review of TMD, go HERE! 
 While the first book in the series was inspired by The Island of Dr. Moreau, the second book was inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. CREEPY! I love the fact that this series takes after some old creepy movies. I really love the ick factor and I believe that is what propels me to keep reading. 
 The book starts off with Juliet back in London. She has been taken in by the very same doctor that had turned her father over to the authorities all those years ago but she doesn't hold a grudge and is very thankful for his support now. She finds herself doing all kinds of out-of-character things to get money for trying to create a serum that will work on her illness. She gets sort of close and then the serum just sizzles. 
 The creepy part starts when people around her keep dying and they are all people who have wronged her in some way. Three slash marks to their bodies are all the paper states. Juliet gets curious enough to sneak into the morgue where the bodies are being held to investigate, she finds more than she wanted and now knows whom is responsible for the killings. She just doesn't know if she should be horrified or elated? 
 I was so happy to see all the characters back together again in this installment. There are a few new characters added to the mix and they are just as quirky as the others. I am still head over heels for Edward! I do not know what it is about him? I have to believe it is that he doesn't want to be this way but cannot fight it. He tries to be as honest as he can with Juliet and I can tell that at some points, she cracks and lets him under her skin. As for Montgomery, I do see his reasons for doing what he did but, I still think Juliet should make him suffer a while longer. 
 The ending of this book blew me away!!! I seriously cannot wait for the next one! Ugh! and we have to wait a whole year!!! If you loved the first book, then you will definitely love this one!!! Quick! Run and buy it!!!
