Soo.....I liked the first book pretty well. I actually appreciated the surprise ending which, from reading other reviews, was a source of frustration for others.
When this book begins, Juliet Moreau is back in the big city and has been accepted again into society. Life is looking up until Edward Prince finds his way into her social circles. He needs her help to tame The Monster (his murderous side that has been mutilating bodies around London).
Here are the reasons I just had to stop listening:
Shepherd repeats things over and over....I get it, Juliet, you have guilt for your role in your father's murder....and whenever you are with Edward you are "with a muderer" and Edward must find a way to control The Monster. Those phrases probably appear multiple times on each page of the book. Instead of painting a scene or tone, Shepherd bashes you over the head with the information.

Loved the Jekyll and Hyde theme and that the author is using my favorite books from childhood to make this one character Juliet somehow involved with all of them. Tomorrow I'm starting the finale of this series A Cold Legacy that's based around Frankenstein. But now it's going on 2am and I have work tomorrow, I was so into this book that I simply couldn't stop reading it took me two days! I hope the last book lives up to the hype of the first two because I'll be all sad if it doesn't! :)

Given to me by Thivyan as a birthday gift.
I loved it, although I was confused considering I read this before #1.
But I really really enjoyed this one. Loved everything about it, the storytelling, the characters. It was haunting (in a good way)
Still have not been able to pick up the first book. However I think I have the 3rd one tucked away somewhere I do not remember.

Curse of the 2nd novel. Why can no one write a decent second novel? I'm bored out of my skull so.. DNF. I five starred the first book so I'm super disappointed.

Another good book! Good Gothic horror. I didn't guess the twist at the end... looking forward to reading the next one.
