Shade: The Complete Trilogy:
A Re-imaging of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

by Merrie Destefano

Narrated by: Katherine Holt

A Story that Has It All!

Mary Wollstonecroft Godwin goes to Lord Byron’s home located in the Swiss Alps.  The party promises to cure her of her broken heart, but things are not as they seem, there are secrets and deadly consequences for anyone who does not follow the rules or who goes out and about after dark ...

Merrie Destefano, the author, wrote a captivating and beautiful retelling of Frankenstein and Dracula.  I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what would happen next, but I failed to do so.  This story has it all, drama, monsters, vampires, horror, and even a bit of romance to top us off.  This was a captivating story that tells a slightly darker side. 

Destefano does a solid job of building on characters we are familiar with and creating new ones that blend in realistically.  The plot was well-done, and the plot twists were unique and mesmerizing.

As great as this horror story is, Katherine Holt did just as great with the narration.  She has a soft reading voice but fits this story very well.  She spoke clearly and with the perfect amount of emotion.  Her pacing was spot on as well.

Overall, this is a book that I could listen to again and a book that I highly recommend!
