Publisher Description

The dead are meant to stay dead. Eighteen-year-old Albert Frank Young knows because he's one of them. He had his life planned out with intentions of attending college in the fall with his brilliant girlfriend, Mary Shelley. What he didn't plan for? Dying before his dreams were realized.

Over the course of one night, his life, and Mary's, change forever. Mary's brilliance quickly turns into a maddening obsession fueled by the death of Albert. Death took her mother away. She'll be damned if death takes her boyfriend away too. In crossing the line between life and death, Mary damns them both before she realizes the realm of the living and land of the dead is an arena she has no right to meddle in.

A story of young love, the depths grieving drives the heart to, and the consequences that follow. This gothic tale proves love lives beyond the grave.

A Mad Awakening Reviews

1.0
“Rating: 1.5 stars A strange Frankenstein retelling, that revolves around young love, grief and the madness the passing of a loved one can cause. This book, although quick to read, was not a pleasant ride. There’s one main character whose pov we get to see the most and she was too repetitive. She kept going on about the same things and it got to a point where it was too much. As for important and meaningful scenes, unfortunately there weren’t enough. I like books to be balanced, and in this case, the story was so character driven that it made me feel as if nothing of substance was actually happening. I will admit though that there are a couple of pretty quotes that did feel almost powerful. Amongst other flaws I found, there's a plot hole that the author tried to explain and/or justify, there are some grammatical errors (wrong verb tenses), too many (27) Frankenstein quotes and an epilogue that provided an unrealistic happy ending while also ruining a major part of the main romance presented in the story. Overall, this wasn’t the kind of gloomy and twisted romance I was expecting. Religion, grief and certain characters' horrible decisions are what prevail in this story. As an adult who still very much enjoys reading young adult books, I have to admit this is very juvenile and it might not appeal readers outside of its intended audience.”
