This is a good book, with solid character work and a wonderfully-developed historical setting, however, I was here for the SFF-Horror and I just didn’t get it. With this being said, the story still wasn’t anything I was crazy about. They brought this story to life for me and actually succeeded in keeping me engaged. The narration by Gisela Chipe was fantastic. I finally received the audiobook on August 16th and read it in three days. I made the decision to put it back on the shelf and wait for an audio copy through my local library. Two weeks later I was stil at 25% with zero desire to continue. I was kindly gifted an e-ARC and started it at least a week prior to its publication date. Unfortunately, I struggled with this story from the very start. We all know Moreno-Garcia can bring that toe-curling body horror to the page and we love to see it!! I hear THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU and I’m sold. What in the heck is this!?!? OMG, I’m so exicteddddddddd!!! When I first heard about The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, this was my exact response: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
