Dr. Frankenstein's Daughters
Author: Suzanne Weyn
Release Date: January, 2013
Publisher: Scholastic Press
A new generation is creating a monster....
Doctor Victor Frankenstein's previously unacknowledged beautiful, intelligent twin daughters (from an early marriage when he was a student) have come to Frankenstein's Castle to claim it as their inheritance.
Shortly thereafter they learn that a serial killer is on the loose. They try to ignore this -- Gretchen takes up her father's work, while Ingrid throws lavish parties. Gretchen and Ingrid form a love triangle with a young naval officer with a debilitating disease. Though he loves Ingrid, he agrees to work with Gretchen on a series of body transplants that improve his condition. Before long he is even walking without his cane. He does not know that the science that is helping him is the science of death itself. . .
What’s on your Wow this week? Link me in the comments so I can check it out as well!
I've seen this a couple times - it sounds amazing! I love the idea of a daughter picking up her father's work - especially Frankenstein!! - but the mention of a love triangle does worry me slightly. Great pick, especially for Halloween :)
ReplyDeleteMy WoW pick this week is Truth or Dare by Jacqueline Green
