It might be impossible for me to completely sum up why I love this book so much, but I will definitely try. I think this was one of my most anticipated releases this year and there was so much hype surrounding it. I'm so glad it lived up to the hype. This book really shines with the characters. Fr...
I think this may have been the first book I have ever pre-ordered online...I'm so glad I did! After reading rave reviews about its upcoming release and looking for a book while enjoying 'My Lady Jane' (which I loved too), I came across this. It didn't disappoint! Mackenzi has written a wonderful adv...
This historical m-m romance wasn't meant for me: a history buff and gay man who loves sentimental novels.There was very little of historical interest. The characters are launched from one location to another with barely more than a "two weeks later..." thrown in. This is supposed to be the GRAND TOU...
Beschreibung Der 18-jährige Sir Henry Montague liebt es das Leben in vollen Zügen zu genießen. Dazu gehören jede Menge Alkohol, Liebschaften und die Abenteuer mit seinem besten Freund Percy. Bevor der Ernst des Lebens beginnt, steht für Monty, seine Schwester Felicity und Percy jedoch noch eine Bild...
Fans of both Steampunk novels, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, are going to adore this book. I can tell you that right now. I would know, seeing as how I fit right into that category as well. While I knew this was a retelling, going in, I had no idea that there was also a Steampunk aspect attached ...
I LOVED this telling of Frankenstein. Great cast of characters, fast moving and mysterious telling, all mixed with a classic tale that for me personally, is a favorite.
[I received a copy of this novel through Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.]Sort of a retelling of the “Frankenstein” story, based on the idea of “what if the latter had been inspired by real-life events”. In a world where clockwork (allowing to replace missing limbs in people, among other...
This is also historical fantasy, set in 1818 Geneva. It’s a steampunk alternate history of the writing of Frankenstein. I wondered how well this might work for readers who either haven’t read Frankenstein or who don’t know that Mary Shelley was born Mary Godwin (although it’s eventually spelled out ...
I didn't love this book but I did really enjoy it. I actually read a few books in between which I usually don't do but it ended up working for the pace of this book. The writing style is what I enjoyed most about This Monstrous Thing and I would probably pick something else up by this author. Ali...
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My stop on the blog tour can be found at Donnie Darko Girl. This Monstrous Thing is an awesome steampunk take on the Frankenstein story that breathes new life (ha ha!) into the monster tale. When Alasdair's brother Oliver dies, Alasdai...
