Synopsis: In this contemporary take on Frankenstein, a young woman&’s life is turned upside down when she unwillingly becomes part of a sick experiment . . . Jolene Hall is dead. Sort of. She can walk, think, and talk, but her heart no longer beats. After being abducted and subjected to horrific experimentation, Jo wakes to find her body is a mosaic of jagged scars and stapled flesh. Fueled by the desperate need to know who turned her into a monster, Jo sets off with her best friend, Lucy, and her boyfriend, Eli, to find those responsible. But as Jo nears the truth, her physical state takes a turn for the worse and she soon realizes she may have put those close to her in mortal danger. Just how far is she prepared to go? Will she sacrifice herself—or what&’s left of her—to save the people she loves? &“Every word . . . is threaded with menace; every scene thumps with anticipation. Even as you feel for Jo you recoil, not knowing what&’s coming next. . . . An unputdownable story about life, loss, and the indomitable will to survive.&” —S. K. Falls, author of World of Shell and BonePreviously published under the pseudonym Leah Rhyne
