Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match: A Novel

From USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game Sally Thorne comes something a little unexpected… a historical rom-com that imagines Victor Frankenstein’s sheltered younger sister, and her attempts to create the perfect man.

For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. Clever, pretty (and odd) Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors and fears she may become the exception to this family rule. When assisting in her brother Victor’s ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realizes that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. For the first time, Angelika embarks upon a project that is all her own.

When her handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Her resurrected beau (named Will for the moment) has total amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity. Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins the investigation into his past, hoping it will bring them closer. But when a second suitor emerges to aid their quest, Angelika wonders if she was too hasty inventing a solution. Perhaps fate is not something that can be influenced in a laboratory? Or is Will (or whatever his name is!) her dream man, tailored for her in every way? And can he survive what was done to him in the name of science, and love?

Filled with carriages, candlesticks, and corpses, Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is the spooky-season reimagining of the well-known classic that reminds us to never judge a man by his cadaver!

I listened to this as an audiobook narrated by Moira Quirk and I highly recommend! I recommend any books narrated by her, she imbues a lot of emotion and tension into her reading style that really sucks you in. I wonder if I would have liked this book as much without her charming narration, but I think so. It is what it says on the tin, Victor Frankenstein had a sister who worked with him and she made her own man to be her match. Romance, drama, moral quandaries, and hilarity ensue. If you don't like romance in general you may not like this, since that's what it is at its core with a blanket of spookiness over the top. That worked great for me, since I love spooky stuff and I love romances. My biggest issue I think is that it had a weird mixed message about religion? It felt out of place.

I’m a fan of the author but this did nothing for me. It felt like the pacing was off. The vibes were creepy and needy to me. I just wanted a Halloween read but this was DNF after listening to half of it. Perhaps it was just the narration.

Cute story if you ignore all the weirdness. I recommend not thinking too deeply about anything or this book is just nasty. I liked the way it played out though.

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match- Sally Thorne Releases: September 6, 2022 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just want to get this out of the way: Sally Thorne really wanted to let us know this dude had a giant 🍆 LOL okay jokes aside I absolutely devoured each page like a bag of hot Cheetos. I laughed and cried I cried I’m not gonna lie. Tim burton vibes with a smidge of Stephen king 🖤 Angelika Frankenstein is my fav MC she’s so confident & intelligent that her energy truly transcends! (IYKYK) I want more weird romances like this 🤣🤣
