Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My pick this week:
Suzanne Weyn
Release date: January 2013
by Scholastic Press
by 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 . . .
A twisted, macabre journey of romance and horror

Love triangle. The synopsis sounds a bit straightforward. :| But other than that, the premise sounds pretty interesting and also weird.
ReplyDeleteLooks cute--the cover is pretty, but with a creepy feel to it
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooooh, this sounds interesting......Great choice!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I like this cover a lot! Definitely eye catching. The love triangle idea is kind of a turn off, but yet it may work, it's two girls and a guy, that's not seen too often. Great pick girl!
