'When the devil tells you to stop struggling, do you? No.''There was no battle she wouldn't win, not even with herself. And if he wanted anything, he wanted to fight for her. If she believed he could, then he could. Sometimes it's that simple. What your love wants, you give her - no matter what you have to do.'Seriously, this series and this author are AhFrigginMazing!! Such a unique story and gripping?! Oh yeah. From page one it grabs a hold of you and will NOT let go.**contains spoilers from Hyde**Jekyll picks up on the coattails of Hyde. After Mitch sends Eden packing, Landon delivers the news that she has been taken. They know that she is being held by The Clinic and they now know what has been done to them over the years by those they trusted most at The Clinics orders. What Mitch doesn't know is where The Clinic is located and he is driving himself crazy trying to find Eden.'Mitch was stewing in his cage. A slow simmer of pain, disappointment, and - hell, why not - a huge motherf****** dash of plain, old anger. When he'd told Eden to go away, that they could never be together, he hadn't expected this. Someone taking her was not acceptable. It was - s***. Unimaginable torture. Except he was living it, not imagining it.'And on top of all that, Mitch hasn't been taking the serum that helps keep Hyde at bay since Jolies death. Mitch's hold on his humanity is slipping, Hyde is pushing his way thru more often and he knows it's only a matter of time before he's unable to come back from a transformation.'Hyde was so f***ing unpredictable now, Mitch spent at least half of each day in the cage. The other half was spent searching for her, cursing the motherf****** world, and fighting off Hyde's tugs until he couldn't do it anymore. Then he got to hurry back to his prison cell or shoot himself up again, depending on how bad-off he was. Good times, good times.'Meanwhile, Eden wakes up after a two week nap at The Clinic a completely different person."My name is Alexandra Bertram, and I'm the facility clinical behaviorist-slash-administrator. You can call me Alex.""Gee, thanks. You can call me `Kiss My A**'." She blinked. It was as if Mitch had replaced her tongue with his. And it had happened like it was a habit. Which it wasn't.After finding out Carter, whom she thought loved her, has been deceiving her all this time is a hard pill to swallow. She doesn't know who to trust or what to believe.'Lies on top of lies on top of dead bodies. How could she tell what was true anymore?'She's also hurting from Mitch's rejection of her. She loves him and knows deep down he loves her too, but she also knows he's too afraid to give them a try and she's not quite sure where that leaves them.'Mitch. Even hearing his name hurt. He was a part of her, even more than Chastity. He'd reached a place inside her that she had never known existed. Reached it, caressed it, loved it, until she'd been reborn with a feeling of worth and love. And then he'd tossed that part of her like a dirty sock, shut her out, just when she'd realized that she never wanted to live without it. Because of fear. Fear of himself - of what he was, of who he was.'She's also struggling with the fact that is seems as though Chastity is trying to take over her body and it takes every ounce of strength she has to fight it.'Chastity. The sister she'd never wanted, the world's worst best friend, the woman men wanted and women wanted to murder. Chastity was not only in the room, the b***h was in Eden's mind and body, occupying space that wasn't hers. Not while Eden was awake. And she couldn't have it. Not if Eden could stop her.'And The Clinic wants something from her, but seeing through all their lies isn't as easy as it seems. She knows they are keeping things from her, a lot of things, but what?"Why are you making this so hard, Eden? It doesn't have to be.""The next time you're almost killed, kidnapped by armed men, and then wake up in the enemy's extra bedroom, Let me know how you feel."The only thing she can focus on is getting back to Mitch. Even though he rejected her, he needs her, though he may not realize his life depends on it.One of my favorite parts was the banter between Mitch & Landon, sooo friggin funny!!"How are you feeling?" Landon asked him. "Cause you look like s***.""Of course I look like shit, a**hole - I just had electric shock therapy. What's your excuse?""I know a place they don't know about. Police raid right before I got canned.""Where?" Mitch growled. "Damn it, cop, if you say it's a crack-house that you cleared out, I'm going to kick your a**. I'm not in the mood to fight off a junkie for a place to sleep.""It was a brothel. Nice place. You'll like it.""Are you f***ing kidding me? Great. But if I get woken up by a near-sighted john who doesn't know the place was shut down, I'm not taking responsibility for my actions.""'He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted', a**hole.""Thanks for the tip, Confucius.""That was Lao-tzu, not Confucius.""Oh, right. Lao-tzu. Wasn't he the guy who also said, `He who has nothing interesting to say should shut the f*** up'?"Landon laughed. "I think that was someone else."Just as hott and funny as B1 with lots of action, surprises, deceit & heartbreak. Some awesome characters and some truly horrific villains. All rounded out with another cliffhanger that would leave me clawing my eyes out if I didn't already have B3 on my Kindle. Check out this author and this series, some brilliant stuff, you won't be disappointed.'Did she know how she affected him? How he could barely think when she was around - naked or not? She brought him comfort, satisfaction. Not only in a sexual way, but also in a life-might-not-be-as-absolutely-terrible-as-I-thought way. In a holy-s***-I-want-to-stay-right-here-and-live-this-every-day-of-my-life way.'
