I noticed there were mixed reviews about this second book in the series. I personally thought it was a great story. I like how Harris writes about alot of unique and interesting things. I always learn alot of stuff from her stories. They aren't for the faint at heart though.She really delves deep into it when she writes about anatomy, dissection etc. but that's what I like about her stories. Her topics are very fascinating. As for Lady Lydia though, she is starting to become a little irritating and very high maintenance I think. If I was Dr.Silkstone I wouldn't put up with her antics much longer but I guess love is blind. : )
