Über diesen Titel
In the sequel to the critically acclaimed The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, Mary Jekyll and the rest of the daughters of literature’s mad scientists embark on a madcap adventure across Europe to rescue another monstrous girl and stop the Alchemical Society’s nefarious plans once and for all.
Mary Jekyll’s life has been peaceful since she helped Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solve the Whitechapel Murders. Beatrice Rappaccini, Catherine Moreau, Justine Frankenstein, and Mary’s sister Diana Hyde have settled into the Jekyll household in London, and although they sometimes quarrel, the members of the Athena Club get along as well as any five young women with very different personalities. At least they can always rely on Mrs. Poole.
But when Mary receives a telegram that Lucinda Van Helsing has been kidnapped, the Athena Club must travel to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to rescue yet another young woman who has been subjected to horrific experimentation. Where is Lucinda, and what has Professor Van Helsing been doing to his daughter? Can Mary, Diana, Beatrice, and Justine reach her in time?
Racing against the clock to save Lucinda from certain doom, the Athena Club embarks on a madcap journey across Europe. From Paris to Vienna to Budapest, Mary and her friends must make new allies, face old enemies, and finally confront the fearsome, secretive Alchemical Society. It’s time for these monstrous gentlewomen to overcome the past and create their own destinies.

Cozy adventure & strong female friendships <3
I absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed it even more than the first in this series. First of all I knew what to expect regarding the writing style (as in: the commentary). I felt all the characters were starting to come to life & and I was super invested in every single story arc.
As a native german & hungarian speaker I really want to applaud Kate Reading for her pronunciation of both these languages, she really did her best!
I also just loved the descriptions of Budapest, including the food- it made me a little homesick. I can only agree with Diana, I too want to go out and eat ice cream, cakes, pogácsa and langos ;-)
Anyways, if you enjoyed the first book in this series, definitely give this one a go as well! It's full of adventure, emotion, powerful women, good humor- and it's basically just a really old fashioned road trip/heist with fun cameos of real and fictional people of that time. I loved every second of it.
