3.5 starsI love retellings and I've been a fan of these books for a while! Overall, I really like this ending, especially because Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is one of my favourite classic stories.
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...
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.All the major players from the previous two books, Wendy a...
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...
“Three Stars: A modern day retelling of an old classic with a sinister villainess.Another Jekyll Another Hyde, opens with a strange and creepy nurse skulking home late at night, but as she walks her features are morphing, changing into someone else, a beautiful governess. Nicola Vileroy has transformed herself into a seductive and charming governess, with manipulative plans to seduce and marry a wealthy banker. Nicola, is in reality, a centuries old demon. She maintains her beauty and disguises
It was a pretty good story, though I found myself skimming a lot just to get to the dialogue and what was going on in the main plot. Still an interesting concept though.
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...
To be honest, I read this because I felt obliged to after Another Faust and Another Pan.Unlike Another Pan, this book draws reference back to Another Faust much more closely. After Belle's hasty departure, Thomas is left dealing with the aftermath and Vileroy has weasled her way into becoming his stepmother. I felt disappointed that although there was so much teasing in relation to the Faust children, the Nayeris seem to have given up on them. This book is quite simply a one-man, or two-men depe...
Have you read the first two books before this book? Another Faust and Another Pan. Because if you haven't and you're about to read this book, DON'T. PUT DOWN THE BOOK AND GO SEARCH FOR THE FIRST TWO BOOKS. Because trust me, you won't be able to enjoy the book like I did. Another Faust is an introduction. Another Pan is a completely different story that would make you go "HUH, another kid." THEN Another Jekyll, Another Hyde, it puts both books together and FINALLY they're connected and viola! It
I think it would have been better if the series focused on the Faust children all throughout the three books instead of being a set of three stand alone books. At least that way, the characters would be more fleshed out and relatable. I didn't even like Thomas in the first book (view spoiler)[and yet he ends up killing the villain (hide spoiler)] while all other main characters in the first two books are barely even mentioned. Such wasted potential.
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.This series is quite different...
p slow going bc for the most part we KNOW it's vileroy behind it all and so we're just waiting for thomas to figure it out. also kinda random and anticlimatic
Review first posted at Bewitched BookwormsI’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.When I saw this book and read the synopsis I was intrigued! I loved the Jekyll and Hyde story and I loved the idea of setting in into the modern world with a Teenage boy. I liked the c
