[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17) ][Read by Lucy Rayner]In this sequel to the Gothic suspense sensation The Madman's Daughter, Juliet must confront what happened to her on the island and escape her haunting past. -- Winter frost coats the outside of the Royal Botanical Gardens greenhouse where Juliet Moreau spends her days, but the steamy air inside reminds her of her father's island -- and the secrets she left behind. Now back in London, 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 her fall victim to a murderer whose macabre calling card is three claw-like slashes, Juliet fears one of her father's creations may have also escaped the island. She is determined to find the killer, even if it means awakening sides of herself she had thought long banished, and facing loves from her past she never expected to see again.

Her Dark Curiosity is book two in The Madman's Daughter series about Dr. Moreau's daughter, Juliet. Where the first book was based loosely on H.G. Wells book, The Island of Dr. Moreau, this one is inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. I enjoyed this retellin...
Watch out because Megan Shepherd is back. Last we left Juliet Moreau, she was floating away from an island in the middle of the ocean. Now she's arrived back in London and everything should be fine, however, she still isn't able to outrun her father's crimes or his influence. I entered Shepherd's se...
I read this entire book in one sitting and loved it! I need the third book stat. I didn't give this book a full 5 stars just because I didn't care for the whole "love triangle turning into a love rhombus" aspect of the story. The central love triangle actually annoyed me much more than it did in t...
I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but I was hesitant to start the second. The story from the first book didn't set itself up well for a sequel, and I wasn't entirely sure where the plot could go. After reading this book, I am not sure I like the answer to that question. Part of the bea...
