I've decided to stop reading this genre. I find it too damn depressing. Nicely written but not for me.

Her throat was full, and so was her nose, but she heard Gran‘s heartbeat, nice and strong, under the noise from the machine. The song of her breathing, familiar as her own. “I love you so much.”
Ruby de Varre shut her eyes, and finally fell asleep waiting for Gran to wake up.

Daughter of Doctor Moreau | Silvia Moreno-Garcia

I had no idea this novel was a reimagining of the "Island of Doctor Moreau" by HG Wells. Set on the back of the Caste War of Yucatan, we are warned from the first pages that due to its isolated position the peninsula has often been confused with an island. Carlota has a calm life with her father in a remote mansion where the Doctor leads his research financed by wealthy farm owner Lizalde. All's well until the son of Lizalde finds out about them.

Winnie is just so uninteresting MC and that might have made this hard to read. Winnie was so flat, she was just her holes.

This maybe had more plot than the other books but I am not sure how skillful the author is to write. The story didn't feel intriguing enough to keep me interested.

My November #bookspin list. I completely skipped October, for the first time since @TheAromaofBooks started Bookspin!

If you‘re following my Helene saga, this weekend I return to an almost-normal work schedule in a loaned salon space, which feels like such an enormous relief! I am glad that I‘ve had the free time to do some volunteer work, but I miss my routine and sense of stability.

The pets and I are doing well though! 💛🐱🐶💪💋

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I'm glad you are finding some semblance of normality after all the craziness!!! Various groups around here have been hauling supplies down so trying to send what we can when we can. We've vacationed in and around that area so many times; seeing the devastation seems so surreal. 22h
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks thank you. It‘s been a life changing experience. I count my blessings daily. 21h

This book was a quick read. I enjoyed reading this book. I can see how all of the books in the series are connected. I enjoyed the characters a lot. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
