A guy builds his daughter, that was killed by a wizard, into a special creature that helps save the other girls of the town from the evil wizard.

I really sympathized with Kymera, who had to hide her real self because she looked different from everyone else, but was such a kind and good person inside. It’s based on Frankenstein and the Grimm stories. Her father says they would not understand her wings, the bolts in her neck, or her spiky tail-they would kill her. Today I’m excited to have debut author MarcyKate Connolly here to share about her new MG novel MONSTROUS that releases next Tuesday. Yet night is the only time that Kymera can enter this dangerous city, for she must not be seen by humans. Because of his curse, girls sicken and disappear without a trace, and Bryre’s inhabitants live in fear.
