The dark descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein - Kiersten White

Don't miss this monster of a New York Times bestseller, a stunning and dark reimagining of Frankenstein that internationally bestselling author Stephanie Garber raves is "exquisitely disturbing."

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.

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.
