Her Dark Curiosity Megan Shepherd Books

While I still very much enjoyed Her Dark Curiosity, it was nowhere near as addicting as the first book. It's several months later and Juliet has been taken in by a family friend. She's back in society's good graces, but she's living a double life. She has all of the comforts she could ever dream of, but Juliet still rents a dank attic, where she's working on a cure for her illness. The serum her father created for her is no longer worker as she gets further into womanhood, but she can't seem to get a new one right. Then, there's a string of murders, and all of the victims are connect to Juliet in some way. When she learns of it, she knows that someone from her past has come back for her.

Her Dark Curiosity started off really good. It's clear that Juliet is struggling, and it's not just the physical ailments from her failing treatments. Her mind is preoccupied with what she did on the island and she's having trouble coming to terms with her cruelty. There's also the small matter of her knowing one way to increase the likelihood of her creating a successful treatment: fresher ingredients. She has moments where she does consider resulting to her father's methods, but luckily she keeps a grip on her sanity and leaves her dog alone. I loved her conflicts though! She still thinks her father's work was amazing, but it was also wrong. She fears she'll succumb to the same curiosity and madness as him.

But then, the plot switches. Her Dark Curiosity wound up feeling more like a murder mystery than anything else. Of course, we know who the murderer is from the very beginning, but there's something else at play here. It did end up being quite predictable like The Madman's Daughter, which annoyed me at times. I figured out who was involved early on, and it was just a matter of waiting for the why. There's also a reveal that all of the characters were shocked about, even though it was something I figured out in the first book! It is seriously super obvious and yet, no one had thought of it? I don't think so. The ending was also eerily similar to the first book with Juliet causing mass destruction, then running off to another country.

I still really liked her Dark Curiosity despite my complaints. It still had that dark, creepy vibe, but it wasn't nearly as disturbing or engaging. The first half is much better than the second, but it did leave me super curious about what's to come.

Her Dark Curiosity Megan Shepherd Books Reviews

Megan Shepherd did it again! Dark, romantic, exciting carryover from Madman's Daughter. Pacing is great, characters are interesting, and of course I'm left eagerly awaiting the final installment. She writes beautifully and is a great storyteller.
Megan Shepherd writes a compelling story for sure. This book was a page turner and kept me interested until the end. There was an unfortunate quest for a cure unfulfilled. It seemed like the author was not sure how to end the book and opted for an abrupt finale in which questions still loomed. Maybe this is due to the fact that a third installment is planned...
It completes the first book just right. And it made me want to hurry and read the next book. Really enjoyed it.
Loved this story...may have enjoyed it better than book 1! I love love love Edward. Such a fun twist on a classic story!
So much drama was dropped in the last chapter. I loved this book as much as the first. I'm still torn between Montgomery and Edward. They both have good traits and flaws and that makes it hard to pick.
I read this as a follow up to book 1. It started out strong but mostly meandered all over the place. The plot lacked focus as much as the leading character, really. I realize the character is 16 and discovering herself, but she had resources she didn't seem to trust or utilize until the end of the book. Not sure I'll make it to book 3.
This book is mostly just filler to get to the third book and resolves very little. The amount of attention focused on the love triangle to advance the plot was tedious, and made the heroine less likable in this installment. I hope the third book doesn't stray further from the brilliance of the first.
Her Dark Curiosity is the second book in The Madman's Daughter trilogy by Megan Shepherd.
Megan has crafted an extremely amazing sequel that easily surpasses her debut novel, and sets the stage to what should be an epic conclusion to this fantastic series.
Everything about this book is well done, from the astoundingly beautiful cover to the engrossing writing, the well-written characters and the carefully thought out and developed plot that will keep you entertained the whole way through.
This won't be a long review, I say that because I don't want to give away any spoilers and in discussing this book I'm afraid I'll do just that, there's just so much I want to write about that happened in this story, but I want people to read this book themselves and discover everything without any warnings beforehand, and trust me, it's all good!
The book opens after the conclusion of the last one, Juliet is back in London, secretly trying to find a cure for her condition now that her drugs aren't working that well anymore, there have been murders occurring by a serial killer nicknamed the "Wolf Of Whitechapel", these murders are all linked and once Juliet figures out just what that is, she then discovers just who it is, it seems someone/something has followed her from the island to London, and the one thing they're after is Juliet!
I can't praise this book enough, it's just fabulous and the fact that it's loosely based on the 'Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde' story adds another layer to the tale.
For those of you who like books featuring action/adventure and suspense all put together in a historical setting then this is the series for you.
I'm highly anticipating the third and final book in this series, I'm desperate to know how this will all end.
