Reason for Reading: Next (and last) in the trilogy.
Before this book was published I heard it was going to be the final book, in what was now being called a trilogy. I was quite upset to hear that this would be the last of the series but it was with great anticipation I looked forward to its publication and my reading. I really loved this book and thought it was an entirely satisfying end to one of the smartest, intelligent YA paranormal trilogies I've read in years.

I have been so excited to read Another Jekyll, Another Hyde because with the way Another Pan came to a close, it left readers wondering what would happen next. What happens to the governess Vileroy? Who will be the main character? What will the plot be? While I can’t give you the exact answer to some of those questions (seeing as how I want this to be as spoiler free as possible), I can tell you that the main character is Thomas who, if you have read the first novel you probably remember him, wa...more

My Review: This isn’t going to be a huge, detailed and in-depth review. In order to really understand what is going on in Another Jekyll, Another Hyde, you had to of read the first two books in the Another Series. I believe Another Jekyll, Another Hyde is going to be the final book in this series because of the books ending.

What an awesome end to the Another series. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Jekyll and Hyde adaptation that I didn’t like, even the Arthur music video and R. L. Stine’s Jekyll and Heidi … ok, maybe not that one, but the story of a mild mannered man (or teen) dealing with a monster within properly done is almost always a good one. And this book was both a very good, modernized adaptation of the classic and a fitting conclusion to the series.

First I want to thank both Netgalley and Candlewick Press for the chance to read this egalley. I don't think I reviewed either of the first two books on Goodreads, you'll have to go to my blog at http://misclisa.blogspot.com/ to find those reviews. But I really enjoyed the first two: Another Faust and Another Pan by Daniel and Dina Nayeri. And so, I was so excited when I saw this 3rd one on Netgalley, I immediately requested it. It seems like it was forever before they accepted my request, I beg...more
This is (I'm assuming) the final book in the Another series and I think it's the best of the three. I've never read the original Jeckyll and Hyde so I can't really make comparisons. I like how in Another Jeckyll, Another Hyde everything ends up coming full circle. The whereabouts of the Faust children were finally revealed if not their final fates. I would have liked an epilogue on ehat the children all ended up doing after Vileroy was gone, although you do find out one thing about Christian. I...more
Another Jekyll another Hyde (3)
A loose retelling of an All-time favourite classic of mine we see the finale of this series. Again following the same villainous Boogey man versus the good-ish we see the conclusion of a very well love series.
With a new “person” on the scene it’s safe to say we know why the book is called “another Jekyll another Hyde” This entertaining re-telling feature the evil Nicola Vileroy whom I might just dub my favourite villainess.

!!!!!!!!! This last book is a lot better and more bad-ass then the rest of the last two! Or maybe because I love The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde so much! When I find out that it is the last book, I was devastated. But I glad that I read it because it had the best and scary adventure. The story is so beautiful and mystery written that I just want to jump in! I might think of buying this book if I have a chance.

I believe it's safe to say you can read this book as a standalone and not get confused. The main character in this one is Thomas, who is in the first novel Another Faust who plays the part of Belle's boyfriend. Handsome and wealthy his new step mom is Madame Vileroy. Boy, does she never stop. Being the master of death, I'm guessing she is evil incarnate with the way she messes with people's lives. For fun. Now she is one villain to watch!
Now this story involves Nicola's evil son Edward. Hence th...more

Review first posted at Bewitched Bookworms
I’d first like to clarify that although this is part of a series it totally can be read as a Standalone. In fact, I read it without having read the other two books. The stories are not connected to each other, so I just realized today (yes..lol) that it’s part of a series.

Thomas finds himself with a very undesirable stepmother. Desperate for relief from the situation he turns to a new drug. Something isn't quite right as he begins to have unexpected side effects. Time begins to slip through his fingers and a voice emerges in his mind. Dangerous things are happening and someone is behind them. Thomas might be the culprit.
The villain is more believable. Her depth of evil so strong it can plant seeds of despair right into the marrow of your bones. I haven't done the...more

Without reading the first two novels I must say that I was able to follow along with the plot without getting lost. I call that an accomplishment, though I should get my hands on the first two novels. For the moderate read it was, I had been able to finish in a few hours during my long car ride to my spring break destination.

The “meh” reviews are always the hardest to write and, sadly, Another Jekyll, Another Hyde turned out to be a “meh” book for me. I was hoping for more going in since it’s the final book in the Another series, but in the end I was going “that’s it? That’s the end?”
Somehow everything about Another Jekyll, Another Hyde just felt incredibly predictable. I’m not sure if it was the predictability or if I simply didn’t connect with the characters, but I ended up not giving a damn what happened to anyon...more

Wow. This is an awesome end to a really fun trilogy - even though I still haven't read book 2, I have read the first book and now this final book (or, at least it feels like the final book) really kind of wraps up the entire story with villainess Vileroy in a really satisfying way. The Nayeri siblings really know how to do modern retellings of classics and old tales in a fun and entertaining way, and the explosive end of "Another Jekyll" is just proof of that.
However, it did drag in a few place...more

I really enjoyed Another Jekyll, Another Hyde, I enjoyed the mystery. It was like we were finally getting to see Vileroy be defeated, because you already know who (how) she is from Another Pan. It's like each book was building you up to another level of her evil. My favorite part about this book was when Thomas, or another character, would mention a past character, or talk to a past character(s). I don't know why I enjoyed that so much, but I liked seeing how my favorite characters were doing I...more
I received a digital copy of the book from netgalley to read and review. I've not read the first two books of this, the Another, series. I found it interesting , the way the authors weaved the historical background of the antagonist into the book. The problem I had with this book is that it's not really about Jekyll and Hyde, so much as it's about Nicola Vileroy, the evil stepmother prepared to go to any length to achieve immortality. This made the book a disappointment for me.

On the night of his billionaire father’s wedding Thomas finds himself introduced to a new mystical drug which begins the process of him being taken over by a monster.
I admit it. I like adaptations of classic novels. Recently, there have been a slew of adaptations of Victorian romance so I appreciated this take on the Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic. I felt the authors were able to follow the general story while updating the story for a modern teen audience. It was a fun, quick read.

By Far MY favorite of the "Another Series" I felt it did well wrapping up the Faust's story however my only issue is that i felt there were so many stories to tell that they could have kept the series going with 5 or 6 books...and i really would have enjoyed more strong female characters other than that i would suggest this series to anyone who is into the dark, and macabre but also likes legends and tales...
Very Very Well Written

This was a creepy, sometimes amusing end to a wonderful trilogy (Another Faust, Another Pan). Where the first two books were more companion books then true sequels, this brings both back together and finishes the stories begun there. I really liked the main character, Thomas, even when I wanted to slap him upside the head (which was often). It was a well done ending to a well done series and is highly recommended.
So I gave this book 5 stars, ok, it's more like 4.5 but they don't allow that option on here.
I really enjoyed this book, and unlike Another Pan, I couldn't put this book down. Another Faust is still my favorite book in this series, however.
I enjoyed the way that this book incorporated all the characters from the other two novels, but also added new characters just for this novel. I also enjoyed the take on the Jekyll/Hyde story in this book. It dealt with drug use, but in the end, when you think...more

I love this series, I feel that it is so unique and mystical that it immediately draws you in. I loved this book, and I appreciate the ending for Nicola. The only thing that leaves me unsatisfied is not knowing what happens with the other characters. I'm a sucker for happy endings, or at least knowing the ending fate of the characters I've followed, and I just wish it were a little more clear for Thomas. But I really loved how you gradually began to see the the changes in Thomas to Edward, it wa...more
This was one of the most creative, unique and interesting series I've ever read. It's been three years since I read the first book and two years since the second one, but the minute I started this one I was right back in it. Madame Vileroy never fails to be an intriguing antagonist, and these are just so well-written.
This last (?) book in the series was just as good as the first two, and tied a lot of loose ends together. I am assuming this is the last of the series, but I would definitely love...more

3.5 stars. The best of the three "Another..." books. Readers will want to reacquaint themselves with the plot of the first book before starting on this one. This one ties the first two together and seemed to flow more fluidly. Characters from each of the three books appear, with the focus on a minor character. It was still a bit clunky, but enjoyable.

Of the three books in the Another series this one felt the closest to the novel that inspired it. If you absolutely loved R.L.S.'s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Then I think that you will find this modern remake a worthy holder of the name. Though you really should read the other two books in the Another Series first as the Story holds you more if you already care about the characters.
