Books from the Backlog #98

 

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This is a fun meme hosted by Carole @ Carole's Random Life in Books.

 

After killing the men who tried to steal her father’s research, Juliet—along with Montgomery, Lucy, Balthazar, and a deathly ill Edward—has escaped to a remote estate on the Scottish moors. Owned by the enigmatic Elizabeth von Stein, the mansion is full of mysteries and unexplained oddities: dead bodies in the basement, secret passages, and fortune-tellers who seem to know Juliet’s secrets. Though it appears to be a safe haven, Juliet fears new dangers may be present within the manor’s own walls.

Then Juliet uncovers the truth about the manor’s long history of scientific experimentation—and her own intended role in it—forcing her to determine where the line falls between right and wrong, life and death, magic and science, and promises and secrets. And she must decide if she’ll follow her father’s dark footsteps or her mother’s tragic ones, or whether she’ll make her own.

With inspiration from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this breathless conclusion to the Madman’s Daughter trilogy is about the things we’ll sacrifice to save those we love—even our own humanity.

 

I added Megan Shepherd's A Cold Legacy to my TBR in December of 2015 or thereabouts! I can't really remember if I obtained it then or earlier. As previously mentioned, I have the tendency to forget to add books to my Goodreads list when I get them! Every so often it happens, even still! Lol. So I want to say I picked this one up at the book fair we have here, so that would've been more spring...but it's also possible I bought it at HPB...I obtained the whole trilogy from different sources, so it's a bit befuddled about where or even the true when I got it! Lol. I thought this trilogy sounded interesting so I picked it up after it was published from the various sources and here it remains on my TBR pile waiting for the day that I can binge read it! Which I hope to do one day!
