Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match

A Novel

By: Sally Thorne

Narrated by: Moira Quirk

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!

A Cute Retelling

I really enjoyed both the audio and novel. this story was really cute and full of hope. I loved the themes of bettering ones self. cute!

terrific story

Wonderful twist on an old tale. Thoroughly enjoyable. Made a ride across the country go by fast.

Not as good as her other books

I wanted to love this as much as her other books, but it was just ok. I did listen the whole thing, but I wasn’t very invested in the characters.

Loved this revision of the Frankenstein tale

Sally Thorne's wonderful story telling drew me into this unique story about Angelika Frankenstein, sister to Victor. Victor is there too along with a unique cast of other characters. The tension between Will, Angelika's creation, and Angelika is palpable. I really had no idea what direction the story was headed or how it would end. The closer to the end I got the more afraid I was that a happy ending wasn't possible. I love how the story all tied back to Mary Shelly in the end.

Definitely memorable

The narrator did a fantastic job. Overall an innovative and memorable rom com. Quirky characters and plenty of angst/build up. The ending and epilouge were both very well executed. I really enjoyed this audiobook. Well done Sally Thorne!
