Released Date:

January 29th, 2013

In the darkest places, even love is deadly.
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about 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 is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.
Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. 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 Dr. 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.

Why the Anticipation, Monica?

       My God, that synopsis. This doesn't seem like my usually type of read but it seems so original and good. It's set in London and then she goes to remote tropical island to see if her father is alive and what if what people are saying about him is true. It seems that Juliet's flaw is her curiously but where will that lead her? SOMEONE. CAN I JUST HAVE THIS ALREADY? It sounds mysterious and it sounds like such a great plot line. Darn it, why can't it be the 28th, yet?
