So I've been sitting on this review for a few weeks for a couple of reasons. First, I've been in probably the worst book slump I've had in years and two, I don't read many books with a horror element, so I'm not really sure how to even talk about it. Except that I found myself really enjoying it, ...
THE MADMAN’S DAUGHTER came to me with strong recommendations, and on top of that a strong desire on my part to read it. The author is named Megan and is from NC and wanted to be a Foreign Service Officer! Just like me! And I’m a sucker for historical gothic scary tales, but something about it made i...
The Madman's Daughter is the first in series, inspired by the classic, The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells. Thankfully, I was not familiar with H. G. Wells story going into The Madman's Daughter, as it does resemble the story closely and it may have ruined the element of surprise for me.Since I ...
Check out Scott Reads It! for reviews, giveaways, and more! The Madman's Daughter is an extremely peculiar retelling of The Island Of Dr. Moreau.

I expected that to mean that I didn’t anticipate any of the plot twists, that was not exactly accurate but I still loved the book. It was cree...
Originally posted at yAdult ReviewThis book is a case of “it’s not you, it’s me.” I wanted to love it. I was drawn to the cover and the storyline yet I could not get into this story for the life of me. It was extremely slow and drawn out to me. Although I finished this book a little bit ago and am j...
It's always hard writing a review for a book that's already been read and loved by so many bloggers. It seems like everything important has already been said. However, I'm still going to try and add my two cents to the buzz floating around about The Madman's Daughter. I'll start by saying that al...
Even though I (mostly) knew what was coming the entire time, The Madman’s Daughter really built up suspense well. It’s the kind of book where there’s a lot of build-up in the middle of the book and it all culminates in a downright exciting last 70 pages. Even though I saw all the twists coming(which...
