The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read. The characters are relatable, the writing is fantastic, its filled with love, horror, drama, and betrayal.

The only thing that I think could change is that they should have brought in Iris's dad ( who I can't reveal) into the book at the end.
