Sinopsis

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the misanthropic Edward Hyde. The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, split in the sense that within the same person there is both an apparently good and an evil personality each being quite distinct from each other; in mainstream culture the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" has come to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. This is different from multiple personality disorder where the different personalities do not necessarily differ in any moral sense. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was an immediate success and one of Stevenson's best-selling works. Stage adaptations began in Boston and London within a year of its publication and it has gone on to inspire scores of major film and stage performances.

Family. The Job. The Thrill of a Trilogy. It’ll Take a Miracle to Survive. 
The black-veiled witch Anya and her army of ghouls aren’t used to being hunted—especially by her prodigies. In the final installment of the Moonlight City Drive trilogy, all the players are forced into a final showdown. Killers vs Detectives. Warlocks vs Vultures. Teenagers vs Witches. Psychics vs Ghouls. Everyone knows it’s the end of the road, and the city is certainly alive tonight. 
Melissa Smith, the granddaughter of the infamous Wharf Killer, wrestles with either following in her grandfather’s footsteps and continue to eradicate the dames of the night or redeem herself and use her powers for good. 
Returning to Las Vegas to revisit where the beginning of her family’s involvement in the witch’s mission occurred, Melissa will have to kill or relinquish her prominent status within the Mushroom Cult. Whichever her decision, she will need the help of innocent bystanders and invested mystics and commit to her destiny or finally end Anya’s reign. 
Who will get out alive?
