Hyde

Hyde

Hyde? 

Yeah. Hyde.
Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll from Robert Louis Stevenson to be exact.
And again, old habits die hard. 

I didn't read any excerpt before jumping into the book.
Hyde was on Maryse's suggestion list. 

And she mentioned that the author was the one she interviewed just a day before. 

Oh yeah, the book has got to be good, right? 

Right my @ss. 

My normal read would have been romance. Any kind of romance. 

But, gothic. Oh please, at least give me a vampire.

This book didn't have any vampire in it. 

And no, no werewolf either. 

It had Mitch and Hyde. And Eden and Chasity. 

I didn't even know what they really were even after finishing the book. 

Heck, I didn't even know it's going to continue in book 2!? 

Hello? Déjà vu?

Well, though Hyde's obviously not my type of book, I don't regret it at all. I'd probably grab it and read it anyway. Yeah, the book was that good. 

And worst of all? I'm definitely looking forward to book 2.
Second book is expected in December. 

  

"To survive, they must embrace what they most despise . . . in themselves and each other.

Mitch Turner is everything women want most in a man—charismatic, successful, drop-dead gorgeous. Except he’s not a man—he’s a monster.

The only way Mitch can protect others from his monstrous side is to stop them from getting too close…that and a 7x7 foot cage. Isolated by his genetic curse, he spends his life hurting people emotionally, driving them away before Hyde can harm them physically. But, after a night of the best sex Mitch has ever had, he realizes that might be impossible. Except the woman he wakes up with claims she doesn’t remember any of it.

Eden Colfax is everything men want most, men other than Mitch, that is. She’s kind, honest to a fault and sickeningly sweet. To rid herself of the monsters that haunted her broken childhood, Eden doesn’t lie, doesn’t curse, and definitely never wakes up naked in strangers’ beds…until the day she does.

Then the flashbacks start—places she’s never been, people she’s never met, blood she’s never spilled. She discovers she’s split into two parts—the woman she thought she knew and another who is capable of anything. And the only person with any answers is the one man she never wants to see again.

What neither of them know is that someone is watching them both, manipulating them, determined to see just how evil the two of them really are. And when the truth begins to seep through the cracks, leaving them nowhere to turn but each other, they will be forced into a partnership neither had expected.

Because in life, who you trust is as important as who you are. And when you can’t even trust yourself, sometimes the only person you can rely on is the last person on Earth you should be falling for."

*** This novel is intended for adults only, as it includes lots of cursing, descriptive sex, biting sarcasm, and themes similar to those in Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, from which this story was inspired
