The Madman's Daughter

The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd

Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid and trying to forget the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he's alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she's determined to find out if the accusations were true.

Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward, Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the secret of her father's new life: he experiments on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.

Inspired by H.G. Wells's classic The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.

I adored this book so much, I read it in one night and had to talk about it!! There are so many pros (and even cons) to this story! It has suspense, romance, and mystery. It DOES have a guy named Edward who has a dark past and drives me cazy--NOT in a good way. He's exactly like Edward Cullen, sadly. I LOVE Motgomery :) I'll just leave that comment at that :) I like how Dr. Moreau isn't a classic crazy, but insane in his own way. Balthazar makes me kinda sad and so does Alice (another name like Twilight), but it's all part of the story. 

I HIGHLY recommend this book, just for some, don't read it when you're half asleep. It will give you the creeps.
