Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match
Mar. 2nd, 2023 09:34 pmI have been reading Sally Thorne's romance novels since she debuted. So I picked up her latest novel Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match.
In this book our main character Angelika Frankenstein and her brother Victor are rich orphans obsessed with “Science!” and set out to reanimate a man. Victor wants to do it to spite a long time rival (who has already done it?? not clear) and Angelika wants to do it so she can marry her creation. Yup. So they both reanimate a man each. Victor’s man is hulking and runs off screaming into the forest, while Angelika’s man is perfectly sensible. So sensible he refuses to follow her plan to become her husband and instead makes it his goal to find out who he used to be before he woke up from the dead with amnesia and someone else’s dick sewn onto him. Yup, she swapped his dick for a bigger one and it’s a running joke. While trying to discover the reanimated man’s identity Angelika meets another man who may be her real match, especially if it turns out that her science project had a wife of his own before he died, dun dun!
The premise is fine if you don’t think too hard about it, which leads to actually reading it being a complete mess. I ended up skimming a lot….
( Cut for length )This book was funny at first, but quickly went downhill and I think it’s my LEAST favorite of Thorne’s books which means it is just awful because I really hated 99 Percent Mine. I’d steer clear if you have any respect for the novel Frankenstein and your very own brain.
