Book 3, Hyde, was my favourite of The Devil's Roses series so far. I found Hanna a far more intriguing heroine than either Aimee or Ari and perhaps her emotional vulnerability made her easier to connect with.As the title suggests Hyde is a modern retelling of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, with Hanna transforming into the monster. However, this is not the extent of Hanna's supernatural 'powers' and it is necessary for her to become part of the Roses to understand herself. I love the way in which Tara Brown allows Hanna to use her sexuality without guilt and as Sam tells her, 'Everyone of us uses what we have to to survive'.In Hyde we meet familiar characters such as Aimee, Ari, Aleksander and Lydia but are also introduced to a cast of interesting new ones like Marcus, Roland, Sam and Henry. Tara Brown develops strong relationships amongst the characters in this story, and I think the plot is an emotional one for everyone, including the reader.I am now about to start book four, with excitement and slight trepidation!
