I was chosen by Netgalley to receive an advanced reader copy of "The Jekyll Revelation" by Robert Masello. Given that fact, it has not altered my opinion on the book at all. "The Jekyll Revelation" has a scheduled release date of November 8th 2016.

Who doesn't love a good Jekyll and Hyde story? Being a 90's kid, immediately I was reminiscent of the Pagemaster in all it's cartoon glory. I was not expecting this book to be cartoony in the least, but between the title, and my love for a good retelling is what lead me to request a copy.

"The Jekyll Revelation" starts like any typical historical fiction; in the past. It seems as though Robert Louis Stevenson, author of "Treasure Island" and "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", has unwillingly stumbled upon an incident he presumed he left back in London.

The reader switches perspectives between Stevenson, and Rafael Salazar; an environmental scientist in the state of California. Masello draws the reader in within the first chapter, and quickly leaves you wanting more as the perspectives change. At first it is unclear what role the past has on the present, but the mystery unravels itself with each turn of the page.
