Waiting of Wednesday (51)

Posted by

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:

Dr. Frankenstein’s Daughters

Suzanne Weyn
Release date: January 2013
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

I love this creepy premise! I love this cover! I love this!! EEP!

    Love triangle. The synopsis sounds a bit straightforward. 😐 But other than that, the premise sounds pretty interesting and also weird.

    Eek, this sounds amazingly creepy! It’s interesting that the synopsis flat out mentions a love triangle… maybe I’ll actually end up liking it? And I agree about the cover- I really like it as well!

    Fabulous pick Giselle! <3
