Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shepherd

Do you let the darkness inside take over you or do you keep it locked up deep inside? Does the curiosity of it entice you or do you ignore it? Juliet battles with the darkness that she inherited from her father as she fights to find a cure for herself. On top of that, she also fights to find a cure for Edward/the Beast. Edward is more like a Doctor Henry Jekyll while the Beast is more like an Edward Hyde. Juliet works to find a cure to get rid of the Beast while also trying to figure out what the King's Club is up to. It is hard to be the daughter of a madman.

Shepherd draws on from two different classics; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson. She used both of these works in order to create her own quick-paced thrilling novel. The comparisons Shepherd made between these two classics were Brilliant. If you liked the two classics above you will definitely love Her Dark Curiosity. Aside from the comparisons that could be made Shepherd also used a lot of imagery which really helped in setting up the atmosphere of the book. It was also helpful with making what Juliet and Edward were going through come to life. There is also a twist at the end that will leave you astonished.

Her Dark Curiosity was another stunning work of Shepherd's. I positively love her writing and this novel. I relish in the fact that her work has connections to Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I think it is truly a beautiful work of art. I also look forward to reading the last book in the trilogy, A Cold Legacy.
