Jekyll Revelation
Jekyll Revelation | Robert Masello
18 posts | 12 read | 16 to read
A spellbinding thriller from the bestselling author of The Einstein Prophecy.A chilling curse is transported from 1880s London to present-day California, awakening a long-dormant fiend.While on routine patrol in the tinder-dry Topanga Canyon, environmental scientist Rafael Salazar expects to find animal poachers, not a dilapidated antique steamer trunk. Inside the peculiar case, he discovers a journal, written by the renowned Robert Louis Stevenson, which divulges ominous particulars about his creation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It also promises to reveal a terrible secret the identity of Jack the Ripper. Unfortunately, the journal whose macabre tale unfolds in an alternating narrative with Rafe s isn t the only relic in the trunk, and Rafe isn t the only one to purloin a souvenir. A mysterious flask containing the last drops of the grisly potion that inspired Jekyll and Hyde and spawned London s most infamous killer has gone missing. And it has definitely fallen into the wrong hands. "

It held my attention but I'm not sure I liked this book. It started out very promising, and parts of it were really well written, but in the end, it felt like a series of missed opportunities. The tension was building at several points of the novel, but it never really came to a climax. All in all, it was a disappointment.
This was my February #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

3/5 🌟🌟🌟 historical horror/thriller story revolves around Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Jack the Ripper. Alternates between 1880‘s and present day California. I enjoyed the 1880‘s much better and could have done without the present day storyline. The narration is well done.

I'm late finishing this for #spookyfriendsbookclub as I had a lot of health problems last month. So glad I finished it! I'm a fan of Robert Louis Stevenson and it was fun to see him as a character embroiled in the Whitechapel murders of the 1800s

One advantage of the litsy outage helped me to get caught up on 5 days worth of reading for the #spookyfriendsbookclub. How‘s everyone doing now that litsy is back? 😃

Eggs I worked on an eFile property tax protest 😜😳😝Buh 6y
athorne Honestly? I‘m not even sure how many chapters behind I am. What is today‘s chapter? XD I had a loooot of family shit go down and haven‘t had a chance. 6y
SconsinBookyBadger @Eggs yikes I can‘t even deal with my own tax filing without it making my head spin, 🤪I‘ll take surviving litsy apocalypse over that! 😅 6y

SconsinBookyBadger @TheGhastlyGrimoire I do believe it‘s the 10 September 1888 aaaaand I may have read ahead another week of chapters... oops 🙊 Hope your family sh!t gets sorted and calms down for you. 🙏🏼 6y
athorne @anansigirl haha. What chapter are you on? I think most stepped out on this one. As far as in aware you‘re the only other one reading. How are you liking it? 6y
SconsinBookyBadger @TheGhastlyGrimoire it was a slow start but once the story began to pick up the pace; I‘m not sure which exact chapter, I wanted to stick with it to see how it ends. With the litsy transition earlier I kept on reading up to 1 October, 1888 chapter. 6y
athorne Where are you at now? I‘m almost caught up! :3 6y
SconsinBookyBadger @TheGhastlyGrimoire with three chapters titled 10 November 1888, I‘m at the second one. How are you liking Jekyll so far? 6y
athorne @anansigirl I‘m not caring too much for it. It‘s so slow. 6y
SconsinBookyBadger @TheGhastlyGrimoire I don‘t know what happened, but reaching Part III my interest is waning. Do we keep trying to read to the end or bail on this one? 6y
athorne @anansigirl I finished. You‘re more than welcome to bail though. I had to use the audio version to finish it. 6y

Itchyfeetreader I had my gallbladder out in summer 2016 - it was an almost immediate life changer in terms of pain management, food choices and even being able to walk around. (Mine had swollen and was sticking to something else in there sorry if tmi!) Sorry you are in pain and hope you feel better soon... 6y
athorne @Itchyfeetreader Mine is filled with sludge and it may possibly be spewing stones into my pancreas. I looked up a lot of the symptoms and it matches what I‘ve been having that I thought was UC flare ups or IBS. I almost can‘t wait. 6y
Itchyfeetreader I had a single (humongous) stone that had blocked the duct so behaving quite differently. They took it out laparoscopically and other than four or five days of feeling like I had done days of abs classes (I am not an abs class kind of a girl!) it‘s given me not a seconds other worry although I do try to eat more regularly now. Good luck and don‘t be afraid to advocate and ask for what you need from the docs. 6y
JoyBlue Wishing you a speedy recovery. 6y
Scurvygirl 🤭 feel better! I get kidney stones, which suck. But I got my appendix out a few years back, it had calcified and was painful. Felt much better afterwards. Much love!💜💜💜 6y

I liked this one. It's more of a slow building #horror told partially through #epistolary format. The story alternates between present day and the past.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I totally enjoyed this book! It was a brilliant mix of fact and fiction, past and present, known and unknown. Being primarily about two of my favorite topics: Jack the Ripper and the questions of the nature of evil in the human soul with a real life and amazing author as a main character this book nerd was in heaven!!

This book is a great example of embellishing historical fact to create a fiction grounded in the truth. Alternating between the 1800s and the present, I found the historical portion of the book more compelling than the present day story. I loved reading about the creation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The new take on Jack the Ripper was also very interesting.

I received a free ARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
