Today's Spotlight Read is The Devious Dr. Jekyll by Viola Carr plus a great Giveaway!
TITLE: The Devious Dr. Jekyll
AUTHOR: Viola CarrINFO: Fiction, 464 pages
PUBLISHED: Harper Voyager, 2015
GENRE: Paranormal/Fantasy/Steampunk
ABOUT: Dr.
Eliza Jekyll, heroine of the electrifying The
Diabolical Miss Hyde—an
edgy steampunk retelling of the classic Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—investigates
a bizarre murder case in an alternate Victorian London while battling
her treacherous secret half: Lizzie Hyde.
Solving
the infamous Chopper case has helped crime scene physician Dr. Eliza
Jekyll establish her fledgling career in the chauvinistic world of
Victorian law enforcement. But the scrutiny that comes with her
newfound fame is unwelcome for a woman with a diabolical secret. And
there is the mercurial Royal Society agent and wolf man Remy
Lafayette. Does he want to marry her, eat her, or burn her at the
stake? Though Eliza is uncertain about Remy, her dark and jealous
shadow self, Lizzie, wants to steal the magnetic and persistent
agent, and usurp Eliza’s life.
It’s
impossible to push Remy away when he tempts her with the one thing
she can’t resist: a bizarre crime. The search for a bloodthirsty
ritual torturer dubbed the Pentacle Killer draws them into a
terrifying world of spies, art thieves, and evil alchemy, where the
price of immortality is madness—or damnation—and only Lizzie’s
dark ingenuity can help Eliza survive.
As
Eliza and Remy race to thwart a foul conspiracy involving the
sorcerous French, they must also overcome a sinister enemy who is all
too close: the vengeful Lizzie, determined to dispose of Eliza for
good.

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR:
Viola
Carr was born in Australia, but wandered into darkest London one
foggy October evening and never found her way out. She now devours
countless history books and dictates fantastical novels by gaslight,
accompanied by classical music and the snoring of her slumbering cat.
She loves history, and pops down to London’s many historical sites
whenever she gets the chance. She likes steampunk, and thought
it would be cool to investigate wacky crimes with crazy gadgets…just
so long as her heroine was the creator of said wacky gadgets: a
tinkerer, edgy, with a dash of mad scientist. Readers can follow her
