Review
This is the third book in Madman's Daughter series. Shepard makes Victor Frankenstein's creative obsession with life/death boundaries the focal point of this storyline as Juliet finds unsafe refuge in the family von Stein's ancestral manor on the moors. A working laboratory, secret passages, human experimentation and consequences of immorality mingle with the dark romance. Juliet must grapple with the lines of right and wrong when faced with killing to preserve life in a different form. Can she allow herself to commit to someone when her own evil past is secret? To fully appreciate the intertwined relationships, the nonhuman characteristics of some, and the gruesome science behind the dark motives that fuel the action, readers will want to read the previous books first. Historical and romance fiction fans will enjoy the series.
Overall Book Score: good
