A modern-day retelling of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a chilling twist

Harper has never been worried about falling in love, something she is skeptical even exists. But everything changes when Logan moves to town, and to Harper's shock, the two tumble into an intense romance. It's everything she never thought she wanted.

Then she meets Logan's twin brother, Caleb, who was expelled from his last school. True, he's a bad boy, but Harper can't shake the feeling that there's something deeply sinister about him--something dangerous. When Logan starts pulling away, Harper is convinced that Caleb's shadowy past is the wedge being driven between them. But by the time she uncovers the truth, it may be too late.

The author of Prada & Prejudice, You Wish, and Ripple delivers a modern-day retelling of a famously gothic tale, full of suspense, lies, and romance.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7-11-Harper can't believe that Logan Townsend has fallen for her of all people. He's everything that a dream boyfriend should be: handsome, sensitive, attentive, and crazy about her. The only drawback is his disturbed twin brother. When bad things start happening in her small town of Enumclaw, Washington, she immediately suspects that Daemon is involved. Cow bones appear in mailboxes, flocks of birds are found dead, and Harper finds roses in her locker with the portentous words "I'm watching you" attached. Logan insists that his brother isn't behind all of the bedlam, but Harper isn't so sure. As she begins to unravel the mystery of the Townsend twins, she finds that the answer may be perilous. Hubbard hits the ground running with a heart-racing prologue. The story then builds with a slow burn and an ominous air. The resolution, though, is Hubbard's Achilles' heel. The book has so much potential as a modern take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde but falls flat with an unbelievable conclusion instead. Still, fans of mystery thrillers who are looking for a light read will find it enjoyable.-Kimberly Castle-Alberts, Hudson Library & Historical Society, OHα(c) Copyright 2011.

From Booklist

Harper is racing for her life. Her pursuer is gaining ground behind her as she thrashes through the wet woods. Finally she can go no farther, trapped on the cliff rising above the Green River. Harper turns around and finds him gazing at her, dark eyes murderous. Now cut back in time one month earlier to a happy, lovestruck Harper. She can hardly believe that Logan, the gorgeous new boy in town, has picked her to be his girlfriend. His smile brightens up a room, while his dark eyes are kind and doting. Meanwhile, strange events are happening in her town. Bloodied cow bones show up in mailboxes, dead birds are strewn across a parking lot, and stop signs disappear from intersections. When Harper and her friends become victims of violent “accidents,” Harper suspects that her new love is somehow involved. The atmospheric setting of a small town set on the banks of the Green River in Washington—burial grounds for the notorious Green River Killer—adds to the Hitchcockesque tension. Hand to fans of Lois Duncan’s thrillers. Grades 7-12. --Diane Colson

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read Book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
The setting of the book Dangerous Boy by Mandy Hubbard is in a Jeep on a school morning. The genre of this book is a Fantasy. A boy named Logan was waiting in girlfriend’s drive so that he could take her to school. This setting compares to the real world because many people either pick up their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and take them to school. The way this setting is it makes me feel like I’m in the book with them. I can see parts of the settings when I close my eyes also.

The main characters in the book Dangerous Boy by Mandy Hubbard have their own major roles. Logan is Harper’s boyfriend, and Daeman his twin brother is a sociopath. Also, Bick is a really nice and caring person and he has a big part further in the book, he is one of Harper’s best friends. Adam is Harper’s cousin and he acts like a big brother toward her. Finally, Allie is the one that was super close with Harper but then got really distance when she started dating Adam. I would give this book a five star rating because of the way the author wrote, and the way they put all the characters in the book. The Dangerous Boy was also a really nice book and had some really amazing details. I would recommend it to all teenagers because it's just a really good book with a lot of action.

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable. Boring.
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018
This book is so predictable and stereotypical. The mean girl is mean. Parents are dead or basically not around...ever. And the good looking boyfriend is forgiven everything because he's like so cute. And Harper is brain dead. How else do you explain after repeated lies and attempts to kill you and your friends you still think "Gee I should still see him"? This shouldn't be called Dangerous Boy. It should either be "Brain Dead Girl" or "Patterns of Domestic Abuse"

3.0 out of 5 stars Filled with cliches, but a quick read.
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017
I would call this a guilty pleasure book. Why? Because it’s not the most greatest read out there but you read it anyway because something about it just draws you to continue reading. Whether it be characters, or the cheesy plot albeit ridiculous as it may be.

This is supposed to be a modern day retelling of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I see some similarities although the way it’s explained (the soul thing) is a bit of a stretch. At least with Jekyll/Hyde he had something concrete and explanatory (eg; the serum that gets him to change personalities).

The book itself is filled with oodles of cliches so it’s not for everyone. It may induce eye rolls and may have some readers frustrated and quit reading altogether. Why did I keep reading? It’s a very simple plot and there’s not much when it comes to twists and turns, there’s a bit of a creepy and chilly factor which was actually pretty well done and I stuck with it. Despite the plot being as it is, the writing was pretty good and I enjoyed it.

A couple of things however. I’m not sure what Madison really had to do with the story. She’s just your average mean girl but doesn’t really add to the plot (except for being a previous romance. Woopie) so to me, this was just unnecessary filler moments in the novel.

Harper isn’t really that likable and there were moments where she goes off the deep end into the realm of stupidity. I do admit though, she’s got good chemistry with Logan and the writing that conveys their feelings towards each other is well done. Logan seems to be a great boyfriend if it wasn’t for that fatal flaw. Harper does tend to have some annoying qualities to herself - being a forgiving doormat for one, and lacking common sense in particular stages of the story (seriously? You’re going to break into a house and you say: “hello?” can we say first one to die in a horror movie here?)

Although this book has quite a few flaws, I couldn’t help but enjoy reading it. It’s a very quick read and it’s like you’re watching a B movie but you enjoyed it despite the many cliches and things you normally wouldn’t watch. There’s just something about it that makes you want to continue reading it. I’m not going to recommend this one, but if you’re up for a quick read to get back into the reading groove, why not?

4.0 out of 5 stars Creepy In An Interesting Way...
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013
Dangerous Boy is a creepy, mysterious, fast-paced story. I went into this one completely blind, having not read the synopsis (Thank goodness. Such a giveaway).There were several aspects of the story that kept me intrigued throughout and as a result, I ended up liking it. I was entrapped in the setting; the way it was elaborated in the pages really had me envisioning every single thing, from the dairy farm the character lived on down to the smell of the country air. It was nicely written and I'm glad I waited until after I finished the story to read the info on the author because I noticed she grew up on a dairy farm so, maybe she was describing a life she had known quite well. In any case, the world building was greatly portrayed. That part impressed me.

As for the characters, they were all likable. I would have liked to get more into Harper's father and get a stronger sense of how disconnected they were from each other but I guess the author did so by keeping his main focus on his farm instead of ever inquiring about his daughter's life. It really left me wondering though, that maybe she should try to get him to open up to her again. He did break a little during her accident but that was left untouched where it should've given them both an opportunity to talk again.

Where Harper is concerned, she was a good protagonist. She was just a regular teen who started dating a guy that seemed to have a lot to hide. Logan's entire aura was mysterious and he concealed so much of himself that it made even me, the reader, consumed with curiosity. I liked the fact that Harper had some good friends to help her out and provide the obvious answers when she was too silly or blinded by doubts to figure it out on her own. That whole Nancy Drew element in the mix was an interesting part of the story as well and it made me want to keep going, investigating along with Harper.

I already had Logan figured out by the time it got past the first two or three chapters. There was just too many signs to miss and I thought it was crazy how no one else could see through it all. This is the first time I've read a story focusing on such a topic so that was a refreshing air for me because its something I can say is fairly new, to me.

Overall, I liked the book. It was interesting how it opened up in a thrilling scene and I felt compelled to read on and find out who was chasing Harper and what was really going on. The ending was also good. There were no gaps. No loose ends. It wrapped up pretty nicely. The author is new to me and I hear she hasn't written anything this creepy before so I'm interested in reading some more of her works after reading Dangerous Boy. It was a good story, went by really fast. I recommend picking this one up, especially for Halloween.
