BOOK BY: Michelle Griep
Michelle Griep’s newest release is a gothic tale of a sister’s love and the lengths she will go to help her brother.
Amelia is a travel writer and has worked hard to gain her reputation. When she’s presented with an opportunity of a lifetime, news reaches her of a revolutionary surgery available for her greatly disfigured brother. She must choose between her career, or caring for her brother.
Surgeon Graham Lambert questions his medical partner’s secretive ways and wonders if he’s made a mistake in joining the practice. When Amelia and her brother become patients of the practice, Graham unavoidably becomes protector, while losing his heart in the process.
The pages are filled with the dark, melancholy feeling of gothic stories and it provides a fictional backdrop for the inspiration behind Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Readers will fall in love with Amelia’s brother as he struggles to choose surgery or remain a recluse. And one can’t help but to cheer for a romance between Amelia and Graham. A broad cast of characters add to the depth of the storytelling, creating a delightful underlying tension to the despairing, but hope-filled tale.
Faith is woven throughout, a beautiful contrast between good and evil.
This is a gripping story, exploring the age old ponderings of the evil nature of mankind. How evil can one truly become?
Fans of Frankenstein and gothic romance will enjoy this new release, as well as fans of Jaime Jo Wright books.
