About this audiobook
"Exquisitely disturbing," raves internationally bestselling author Stephanie Garber of this stunning and dark reimagining of Frankenstein.
Elizabeth Lavenza hasn't had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her "caregiver," and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything—except a friend.
Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable—and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable.
But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth's survival depends on managing Victor's dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic read! dark and mysterious. would recommend to all of my bookworm friends.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The audiobook helped when the physical book got me into a slump. Amazingly narrated, it captured me inmediately. As for the book itself, the first part was definitely slow, but part 2 and 3 were a rollercoaster ride, and the ending broke me. The epilogue was even better. Not for everyone but definitely would recommend
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful reading of a wonderful story. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
