Okay I gotta say I was a little bit disappointed. Not in a huge way, but I had been SO looking forward to this book. A YA love story inspired by my favourite classic (Frankenstein)? I was SO FREAKING THERE.The first third or so had me reeled in, and I never wanted to stop reading. And then it kind o...
Please remind me again why I allowed myself to be tortured by this book. Right. Because I was STUPID. I actually didn’t know that this book existed until after I got a notification from Netgalley that Strange Chemistry has approved my request for Tainted. As I was searching GR to download Tainted’s ...
"Broken" was a story about a girl who lost a love and found love in the most unlikely way. In a way, the book had done well as a retelling of Frankenstein that should appeal the YA demographic. Unfortunately this make the whole premise as predictable and technical which made the process of reading i...
Check out more of my reviews! "Promises are like hearts, easily broken" When I heard about Broken, I immediately had to request it on NetGalley. Who wouldn't want to read a modern retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? I was a little wary of Broken because the book received pretty negative...
I love re-tellings. I mean. Love them. I love it when Authors take something that is a beloved classic, and twist into something totally different that a new set of readers can love. So When I saw " Modern Spin on Mary Shelly's Frankenstein." I immediately thought " Must read!" I started reading B...
Oh, dear. Where to start with this one, really? As a giant fan of retellings, and having enjoyed Mary Shelley's Frankenstein quite a bit when I read it several years ago, I was really looking forward to Broken. It's not often that you come across classics retold (or, at least I personally haven't re...
I'd like to preface this review by saying that most of my criticism stems from the fact that this novel isn't what it was marketed to be, and isn't what I was expecting at all. I did quite some research before reading Broken, checking out reviews of fellow bloggers, thinking this book was for me. It...
I hate to begin the review like this, but Strange Chemistry really need to work on their blurbs. The one I’ve provided is only half of the one on their site, and the reason I haven’t included it in full is because it basically makes 2/3 of the book redundant. I normally read books without a glance a...
Almost 4 stars.This retelling of Shelley's Frankenstein has lots of angst. I never felt that it got to New Moon levels, but still, there is a lot of angst.Angst is of course inevitable when the new guy in your life shares so many characteristics with your boyfriend who recently died.The whole book i...
4.5 starsI have to be honest and say that this was another one of those "Oooh, pretty cover *clicks for request*" situations. I had already read a review on this book and I had read the blurb, but since I haven't read the original Frankenstein, I had no idea what it was about. Oh, sure, I've heard a...
