"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress." ~Henry Ford

I love how in this novel, the 5 heroines are working together. They lift each other, and they do not intend to let each other down.

The Strange Case of the Alchemist Daughter is a retelling of 5 fabulous and famous gothic horror tales, intertwining them due to their fathers' sins, ranging from Frankenstein to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

I love the arc where they are there for a particular kidnapped "monster" and each uses their strength to overcome the biggest and most heinous brute to mankind. My favorite chapter is Justine’s story but each one shines in their own way. Some (Justine, Catherine, and Beatrice) shine more brightly than orders in this first of three novels.

4.5/5 stars.
