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. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. 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.

Accompanied 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. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. 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. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.

Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.

Not the slash em' up kind of horror, but the scary kind of horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat with ghosts and creatures of the night. When I was young, I loved watching movies like Mysterious Island, 10,000 Leagu...

2.0 The Madman's Daughter Book Review
I don't really know what to say about this book other than the fact that its one of the most bizarre young adult books I've read this year. A strange island, odd beasts and mixed up characters that might interest some people but not quite my taste. Gretchen thought her father was dead for many yea...

4.0 Review: The Madman's Daughter
I really, really enjoyed this book. I have never read The Island of Dr. Moreau, but I did go into this book knowing the basic gist of the story. That said, I did love how this book followed the general trajectory of the source material, but added a few of its own spins to the story. I loved so m...
