The Frankenstein legend as you've never seen it before, as told by New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White! You will not be able to put down this stunning and dark reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic told from the point of view of Elizabeth, Victor Frankenstein's adopted sister, timed for the 200th anniversary.
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.a
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.a
THE DARK DESCENT OF ELIZABETH FRANKENSTEIN is a stunning reimagination of the classic, speaking to the fears we all bury deep inside.

Frankenstein, though written by the female pioneer of SciFi, is very much a man's world. Welcome to the story of Elizabeth Frankenstein, Victor's adopted sister turned wife. The wiles to save Victor from himself, and the ferocity of a woman trying to save herself from poverty. A vibrant story, as aggressive as it is delightful. - Paige (QBD)

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein is a retelling of the classic Frankenstein but casts Elizabeth Lavenza as the M/C of the story. All in all a dark YA retelling of Frankenstein. Definitely recommend! - Ashley (QBD)
