Review:

I liked the idea of this story. In fact its really a revived Frankenstein story. I always like a good story modernized. While I thought the story was interesting and kept me reading, I didn't get into it as much as I would have liked. The characters were interesting enough. And like Frankenstein there was evil and death. For a YA novel it was a bit more graphic than I expected, but I did enjoy this read.

Understanding Gabriel's character and going through his journey was an exciting read. Melissa's character was also interesting and enjoy to read. Overall it as a good read and an interesting spin on the Frankenstein story.
