Jekyll by Lauren Stewart

Beat you to it, Leigh :) We'll be starting Monday.

[Lys]

Woohoo. And I'm back in the game :)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I'm glad you are back with us. I have a book to add to our list . My daughter read it and loved it. She read it after the Iron Fey series which she loved too.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I've heard a lot about that series.

[Lys]

How did the Goddess stuff go?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I didn't like the third book as much as the first two. I was waiting for the character development to show up, but it never really did. They all remained pretty enigmatic - though we did get to see a bit of Henry towards the end of the third. I enjoyed the series overall, though.

[Lys]

I'm glad! It just wasn't my cup o tea.
Looking forward to all of our upcoming books though. :)

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

If I can squeeze it in, I might. Although I wasn't as over the moon about the first book as many were

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Yay Alana!

I hope you can!

[Gwenn]

I... already read this. i suck at pacing my self with books. I get overexcited.
But I'm really excited to see what you guys thought of it!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

You can still discuss with us Gwenn :)

Is 6 chapters a day okay? Or we could do 7 and be finished on Thursday.

[Lys]

Heh, I am such an enabler. I may not loan you any more books Gwenn. (just kidding...)
I am ready! 6 or 7 is fine with me.

I think house stuff might slow down soon, giving me more Goodreads time.
We have the paint done in four rooms. Mid-progress on living room. Kitchen and breakfast nook are not done. I'm leaving the sun room for the boys. We're having carpet installed asap (takes forever-but at least it's ordered!), and ... ok fine, there's still a lot to do.
/sigh
My room looks awesome though!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I'm glad the your house is coming together. 6/7 is fine with me.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Ah, the joys of home ownership :)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I am having a love/hate relationship with goodreads lately. It either deletes posts or doubles them. What is up with that?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I don't think I've had any of mine double, but lately it says 'there was trouble saving this post' and then I have to write the whole thing over again. You think I would remember to copy it so I can paste it back in again just in case, but I never do.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Alyssia, did you want to read Scarlet with us? We are discussing when to start it over in the Cinder thread.

[Gwenn]

your room looks so awesome, lys :)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

So Jekylls and Hydes are abnormal humans? Clinic is seeking a cure? What are they give Carter to speed his healing? How did Eden and Chastity merge?

[Gwenn]

I think the Clinic is really interesting and frustratingly mysterious. every email transcript in Hyde i was like 'yes more of this please!' but then it goes back to the angsty romancey bits.
it is alllllmost scifi, but it hasn't told me the science bits.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I agree Gwenn I want to know more about the Clinic. Hopefully some of those questions will be answered in this book.

[Lys]

I've been having this problem too, a lot lately. Or it will tell me it didn't save my post, so I will repost only to have both show up.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Mitch and Eden/Chastity are in an impossible situation. He won't believe anything she says because of her eyes. If only he can get past that. What is Landon's beef with the Clinic? Who did he lose? Is it the mating that caused Eden/Chastity integration? Will it work for Mitch?

[Gwenn]

oh my goodness yes. Mitch's (..what's the non-sexist way of saying his panties are in a bunch? well, whatever that is. his frilly little hipster-cut peach colored lace panties are in such a huge bunch) it's sorta endearing how torn up he is, but then he's such a jerk!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I want them together but I want them healthy not totally messed up. Mitch is messed up but I like him. I think I would be messed up too if I were him.

non-sexist. lol. there is not one.

Lol!

I'm just trying to figure out who can be trusted and who can't. It's pretty messed up.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

BTW, I got an A on my paper :D

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Congrats Sheri!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

They are all messed up in this book. There is no one to trust. Who is the guy in control and what is the real reason behind the Clinic? The Clinic is seriously twisted!!

[Gwenn]

Seriously. I was grumpy when the guy in control was like 'you can make me the bad guy' but I don't think we see him.

I think the fight club thing mitch does. that is a pretty interesting way of keeping Hyde in control.
The drug use, I do not like. at all. I'm not used to drugs harder than cocaine being used in books and it's making me uncomfortable.

Landon is probably my favorite character in the book. he's pretty angsty and unhealthy, but compared to Mitch anyone would look like a boyscout at this point.

I think I'm mostly upset cause I /Loved/ Mitch in the first book, but now I don't care for his POV chapters.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I really want to know who is in charge and why?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Just finished it. I really liked the banter between Mitch and Landon. I can't believe it ended that way! I will have to wait for the next book! Really!!

[Gwenn]

Ikr! such a cliff hanger.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I don't get the whole Carter thing? (view spoiler)[Jolie tries to kill him, the Clinic supposedly saves him then he just dies helping rescue Eden? It doesn't make since. If they were going to kill him why that way? (hide spoiler)]

[Gwenn]

I have a thory, but i dont think they say for certain
(view spoiler)[ i think they were giving him some variation of the hyde serum to make him more hyde like, stronger, tougher, etc. But it either wasnt calllibrated for him correctly, or he didnt have the genetic disposition to handle it. But, since they have uet to really explain how this serum stuff works, idk. (hide spoiler)]

[Lys]

I'm behind, so I haven't been reading much of this thread. I am through Tuesdays reading and hope to catch up this evening. Sorry for being behind. :(

[Gwenn]

i can forgive you anything # lovey dovey drivel

[Lys]

Good. Cause you are partially to blame.

I was thinking the same thing. I am ready for some answers.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I'm a little bit behind, too, but hopefully I will be able to catch up and finish tonight.

I will certainly be reading the next book in the series.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I will definitely read the next book. I wonder where she will take us in the next installment?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Gwenn wrote: "I think I'm mostly upset cause I /Loved/ Mitch in the first book, but now I don't care for his POV chapters."

I agree. I get he's going through some tough stuff, but he is not the same. The scene where he backs Eden into the cage trying to get her to admit she is really Chastity - that's the Mitch I like.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I think the lost of Eden and the reoccurrence of Hyde has made definite changes to his personality. He is not his confident self.

[Shahbaz]

Man, bet you ladies thought I went missing or something didn't ya?

I read this one and from what im gathering about the clinic is like most organizations in stories such as this, they are not out to find a cure, but a way to control/use the hydes. Imagine an army of Hydes you can send anywhere anytime.

The best part of this book for me was the Mitch/Landon relationship, they actually make a decent pair of friends. I was happy that Eden has grown a giant pair of balls, but I missed Chasity, now that woman 'whew' I want her. Oh yes, I want her.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Hey Shahbaz! I was wondering where you had ran off to. I like Mitch and Landon, too.
