4 Stars. I liked it but not as much as the first one. Here‘s hoping third time‘s the charm.

It's our Staff Pick Sunday! This week we're hearing from Assistant Editor, Elle.

The second in Viola Carr‘s Electric Empire series, we find Eliza Jekyll, & diabolical other half Lizzie Hyde, struggling to catch a gruesome killer and being drawn into a terrifying world. This book has everything I want from a story—incredible characters, a fascinating setting, a swoon-worthy romance, and a mystery that kept me guessing and at the edge of my seat!
