Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pick is Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd.
This is the sequel to The Madman’s Daughter, which I read earlier this year and enjoyed.
Here is the Goodreads summary:
To defeat the darkness, she must first embrace it.
Months have passed since Juliet Moreau returned to civilization after escaping her father’s islandβand the secrets she left behind. Now, back in London once more, she is rebuilding the life she once knew and trying to forget Dr. Moreauβs horrific legacyβthough someone, or something, hasnβt forgotten her.
As people close to Juliet fall victim one by one to a murderer who leaves a macabre calling card of three clawlike slashes, Juliet fears one of her fatherβs creations may have also escaped the island. She is determined to find the killer before Scotland Yard does, though it means awakening sides of herself she had thought long banished, and facing loves from her past she never expected to see again.
As Juliet strives to stop a killer while searching for a serum to cure her own worsening illness, she finds herself once more in the midst of a world of scandal and danger. Her heart torn in two, past bubbling to the surface, life threatened by an obsessive killerβJuliet will be lucky to escape alive.
With inspiration from Robert Louis Stevensonβs The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this is a tantalizing mystery about the hidden natures of those we love and how far weβll go to save them from themselves.
I’ve been looking forward to reading this since I finished The Madman’s Daughter! I can’t wait to see what happens next, and I’m so intrigued by the mention of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!
What are you waiting on this week?
