Autor Megan Shepherden Paperback – 22 dec 2014 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Back in London after her trip to Dr. Moreau's horrific island, Juliet is rebuilding the life she once knew and trying to forget her father's legacy. But soon it's clear that someone—or something—hasn't forgotten her, as people close to Juliet start falling victim to a murderer who leaves a macabre calling card of three clawlike slashes. Has one of her father's creations also escaped the island?
As Juliet strives to stop a killer while searching for a serum to cure her own worsening illness, she finds herself once more in a world of scandal and danger. Her heart torn in two, her past bubbling to the surface, and her life threatened by an obsessive killer—Juliet will be lucky to escape alive.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Months have passed since Juliet Moreau escaped her father's island. Now back in London, she is rebuilding her life and trying to forget Dr. Moreau's horrific legacy—though someone, or something, hasn't forgotten her.
As people close to Juliet fall victim to a murderer who leaves a macabre calling card of three clawlike slashes, Juliet fears one of her father's creations may have also made it off the island. She's determined to find the killer, though it means awakening sides of herself she had thought long banished, and facing loves from her past she never expected to see again. And as Juliet strives to uncover the truth while searching for a serum to cure her own worsening illness, she finds herself once more in a world of scandal and danger.
With inspiration from Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this is a tantalizing mystery about the hidden natures of those we love and how far we'll go to save them from themselves.
