Publisher Description
Jill Jekel always obeys her parents' rules. But after her father is murdered, Jill begins to embrace her wild side. Teaming up with handsome but troubled Tristen Hyde, Jill sorts through the secret papers her father left behind. Soon, she and Tristen are recreating the experiments that inspired the classic monster novel, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "This novel is filled with compelling plot devices; one particularly nice touch is the way that Jekel and Hyde alternate telling their stories, embodying a double perspective. Fans of the genre won't be able to resist this slick genre update."-Booklist

"I really like this book, it was quick and sucked me in. I really like books where the main character has some sort of primal, evil thing inside of them that they have to battle in order to be free and I think that what I enjoyed most about this book, that and I'm such a sucker for a bad boy."
— Brittany (4 out of 5 stars)

Jekel Loves Hyde Listener Reviews

" Not a book I would generally read. It was on the new "playaway" kind of like an ipod at the library. Such a convenient way to listen. It was interesting and believable for the most part. I haven't read Jeckel & Hyde, but the author added to the story to create her own. "

" Great book, never read anything like it, i loved the concept of it, the idea. i would recommend this book to anyone! "
— Ayesha, 1/30/2014 -
" This YA novel was a very clever spinoff that wasn't afraid to intermingle the wanders of fantasy with the harshness of reality. "
— Erika, 1/28/2014 -
" Jekel Loves Hyde started out promising, but soon proved itself to be a cliched, unbelievable farce. It reminded me of Twilight in the worst way (Twilight has SOME redeeming moments, while JLH has next to none). After about halfway through, the only reason I kept reading was to laugh hysterically at the ridiculousness of it all. I haven't read this author's other book, although I hear it's a lot better. For the author's sake, I hope it is. "

" Very intense, I couldn't put it down. Be warned it is very dark, and not appropriate for younger teens IMO. "
— Sara, 1/7/2014 -
" Really interesting story and very different i really liked it "

" This was an interesting book with a cool take on Jekyll and Hyde but it was risque and dark. "
— Christy, 1/5/2014 -
" Hm, there were a few flaws in this book, but it was an overall enjoyable read. I'd probably rate it at a 3.5. I'm interested to see what Beth Fantaskey comes up with next. "

" Great book and twist on the original. Well, drawn out with tie-ins to the original storyline. Good teen book that is not about vampires. Has a nice twist to it. I love that the two teens are chemistry geniuses and work at remaking the formulas that caused the original changes. "

" I loved that the chapters switched perspectives. And the sexual "hints" were cute and funny. :)<br/>Overall, it kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. :)<br/>...I finished it within a few hours... >_>;;;; "

" A good interpretation of <em>Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</em>. It went to some dark places which I haven't been to lately in my YA reading. It was really refreshing. "

" I just am not a huge fan of the audio book I suppose....the story was ok and at least in this one they had a girl and a guy...it was better than the other 2 audiobooks I've tried. I didn't LOVE it, but it was ok. "

" Really boring at the start but after the start it just keeps getting better and better :) loved it!!!!! "
— Renee, 4/30/2011 -
" Strong language, near rape, too much sexual energy, and way too much good girl breaking moral rules makes this book a waste of time. I am sorry I read as much as I did. The library's copy had a slightly different synopsis and cover that made me think this story would be tamer. "
