I wanted to love this…

I had read “The Hating Game” and other books by the author. I was all in for a quirky and even bizarre book. At times it was; lively, fun, and strange. However, it lacked the tension the author is so adept at building in her other books. I had a hard time being drawn in by the main male protagonist. Mainly because he is half dead, but also( as he admits early) he is suppressing himself . It made him dull -and by contrast his rival was much more compelling( read:sexy). The vapid heroine ( that is not a criticism) must learn a lesson, but it felt like a bit of a slog for her to get there.
The supporting characters are compelling, the dialogue fun, the narration superb, the plot clever! I think I just stopped caring about the romance part of the story which was a disappointment.

Ethical Issue

I have loved the other books by Sally Thorne. However, I could not complete this one. I just couldn't get past the ethical issues or the number of times they discussed the new penis they chose for reanimation.

Wonderful twist on an old tale. Thoroughly enjoyable. Made a ride across the country go by fast.

Loved the spicy and storyline

I would love to see a similar book by this author with more spice included, maybe Dracula? Angelika and Victor Frankenstein are the kids of the real doctor F who fall in his footsteps. But in this case Angelika is hunting for her man’s made man… since none of the live ones meet her desire or are able to live up to her standards. This is a very entertaining book and looked forward everyday to read(or listen) to a new chapter. Love everything about it.

meh

the book is ok. not for me I guess. I think the other guy competing for the female main character's love was more likeable. the actual male main character was boring and I found him to be preachy and the female main character to be flighty. After chapter 25 i almost gave up but instead I just moved ahead 2 chapters, listened for like 10 minutes to see if I could logically catch up (I did) and then when I got bored I moved ahead another chapter. I listened through to the end at that point and meh. It was okay.

Truly outstanding.

Remarkable! Would make a great movie as well. Refreshing and innovative. Had me on the edge of my seat. Wasn’t sure if we’d get an HEA or not. Outstanding narration.

Not worth it

This wasn’t worth a credit. I loved her other books, so I gave this a try. I hated the heroine and the hero, and didn’t care if they ended up together. Two selfish characters, and I couldn’t figure out what they saw in each other.

Loved this revision of the Frankenstein tale

Sally Thorne's wonderful story telling drew me into this unique story about Angelika Frankenstein, sister to Victor. Victor is there too along with a unique cast of other characters. The tension between Will, Angelika's creation, and Angelika is palpable. I really had no idea what direction the story was headed or how it would end. The closer to the end I got the more afraid I was that a happy ending wasn't possible. I love how the story all tied back to Mary Shelly in the end.

Definitely memorable

The narrator did a fantastic job. Overall an innovative and memorable rom com. Quirky characters and plenty of angst/build up. The ending and epilouge were both very well executed. I really enjoyed this audiobook. Well done Sally Thorne!

Most Fun I've Had With An Audiobook In a Long Time

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is sheer perfection, with laugh-out-loud hilarious banter, a gripping plot, and toe-curling romance. You'll love this one to death!
