âUpdates Robert Louis Stevensonâs classic story . . . Teens who enjoy brooding love stories will not be disappointedâ (School Library Journal).
Â
Jill Jekel has always obeyed her parentsâ rulesâespecially the one about never opening the mysterious, old box in her fatherâs office. But when her dad is murdered, and her college savings disappear, sheâs tempted to peek inside, as the contents might be the key to a lucrative chemistry scholarship.
To improve her odds, Jill enlists the help of gorgeous, brooding Tristen Hyde, who has his own dark secrets locked away. As a team, Jekel and Hyde recreate experiments based on the classic novel, hoping not only to win a prize, but to save Tristenâs sanityâand maybe his life. But Jillâs accidental taste of a formula unleashes her darkest nature and compels her to risk everythingâeven Tristenâs loveâjust for the thrill of being bad.
Â
âFantaskeyâs latest novel deliberately evokes the doppelganger theme and questionable experiments of Stevensonâs The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It also owes a great deal to Stephenie Meyerâs Twilight series . . . Fans of the genre wonât be able to resist this slick genre update.â âBooklist
