What an ending! The Madman's Daughter is a thrilling story of romance, horror, and science fiction woven together in a perfect combination, keeping you on your toes the entire time!
Juliet Moreau lived a life of privilege until her father's scandal came to light. Though never proven Dr. Moreau was labeled a "Madman" for the gruesome experiments he was accused of. But when Juliet learns that he is alive, and experimenting on an uncharted island, she must go and see if these accusations are true. Though Juliet was never expecting what she stumbled upon.
The Madman's Daughter is a very strange read. Very good, but strange. I almost classify it as creepy, because it is. The mere thought that these things could be possible have my skin crawling. Dr. Moreau is a genius, I won't lie. The man figured out out to Vivisect animals together, and create a human like creature that can walk, talk, and complete basic human needs. That is totally insane, right? But at the same time the man is completely insane.
I liked the characters for the most part. Especially Dr. Moreau's creations. Megan could have went in many different ways in writing the Beasts but she chose a more realistic way. The Beasts weren't perfect, all of them had some form of deformity to them. Of the Beasts, Balthazar is my favorite, I easily forget that he is a dog/bear hybrid, but more like an over sized child.
I enjoyed Juliet's character, though she did frustrate me with her choices sometimes. I can see her growing into an awesome herione in the future novels of this trilogy. I wasn't a huge fan of Edward, actually I didn't like him at all. He was a character that I constantly questioned his motives and waited for something to happen with. Montgomery, I loved him. Flawed, and imperfect with a huge heart. Totally swoon worthy.
The one aspect of this book I was disappointed about was the love triangle. At certain points in the novel you would think she was choosing one guy but then she was go and choose the other. In my own opinion, I like her and Montgomery, they have a history and understand each other. Juliet and Edward just didn't have those fireworks.
All in all I really enjoyed The Madman's Daughter. It was an enjoyable read that left me with goose bumps.
RATING: ★★★★★

This is the point where I kick myself for judging books by their covers...again. When I was scrolling though NetGalley I spotted Frozen and was immediately intrigued by the cover. I knew I was going to have to request it. What I didn't realize was that Frozen was downloadable to everyone. So I downloaded it. This is one of those books that I want to say I loved but I can't. It was meh. The idea was interesting but that is all this book had to it.
Frozen took me a week to read. I want to say that I was busy (which I was) but when I had time to sit down to read I could only get through a couple of pages. It didn't grab a hold of my attention, which wasn't a surprise because I wasn't a fan of Melissa's Blue Bloods series either.
I found the plot of Frozen was scattered and didn't stay in one place long. The characters were a bit flat and hard to relate to, and everything bad that could happen, happened! I would groan each time something came up because I knew it was going to have a negative outcome. When the ending came it was quick, and hard to follow. The overall ending though? I predicted it. Frozen didn't surprise me. The world frozen in ice did, but the story kept me hanging.
