Waiting on Wednesday #30 – The Diabolical Miss Hyde
I don’t have to wait very long for this one, as it will be released on February 10th. Doesn’t it sound amazing?
The Diabolical Miss Hyde (Electric Empire #1) – Viola Carr
Magic, mystery, and romance mix in this edgy retelling of the classic The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde–in which Dr. Eliza Jekyll is the daughter of the infamous Henry
In an electric-powered Victorian London, Dr. Eliza Jekyll is a crime scene investigator, hunting killers with inventive new technological gadgets. Now, a new killer is splattering London with blood, drugging beautiful women and slicing off their limbs. Catching “the Chopper” could make Eliza’s career—or get her burned. Because Eliza has a dark secret. A seductive second self, set free by her father’s forbidden magical elixir: wild, impulsive Lizzie Hyde.
When the Royal Society sends their enforcer, the mercurial Captain Lafayette, to prove she’s a sorceress, Eliza must resist the elixir with all her power. But as the Chopper case draws her into London’s luminous, magical underworld, Eliza will need all the help she can get. Even if it means getting close to Lafayette, who harbors an evil curse of his own.
Even if it means risking everything and setting vengeful Lizzie free . . .

new to me but sounds good and hope you get a chance to read it soon. Happy Wednesday and awesome reading wishes to you!
Thank you Brandi 🙂 Happy Wednesday!
This one caught my eye a little while ago. Sounds like a sort-of-steampunk take on Victorian London, and I always like a new twist on Jekyll & Hyde.
Yeah, I think the Victorian steam-punky theme and Jekyll and Hyde could make for a great story, Bob.
Have a great day!
I hadn’t heard of this one, but it sounds awesome! I love the cover, too. 😀
It does sound good, Lexxie. But I’m still nervous about steam punk. I’ll be brave one day. 🙂 *BIG HUGS*
I know what you mean, Brandee! I’m hesitant to delve into new categories too (i.e. NA) but so far I’ve read good Steampunk, although it’s still a growing category. I hope someday you’ll find a really good one to hook you in! I started with Kady Cross then Gail Carringer 🙂
Oh my gosh sounds like my kind of book! On my wishlist now.
