The dead don’t always stay dead in Kalynn Bayron’s compelling twist on the Frankenstein origin story.
Seventeen-year-old Meka hasn't had a good night's sleep in years. Plagued by a recurring nightmare in which her father pulls her mother's mangled body from a gruesome car wreck, Meka's only solace is confiding her fears about the dream's meaning to her boyfriend, Noah.
But when Noah dies in a tragic accident, Meka's world is torn apart. Heartbroken, Meka tries to move on, but strange things begin to happen. Someone is following Meka wherever she goes. The bracelet Noah was buried with reappears on Meka's front step. And Meka's nightmares start to evolve, becoming more and more twisted.
Determined to make sense of everything, Meka must unravel a centuries-old secret and this dark truth to her family's past.
