European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman



 Shirley J.  Adult Fiction     The Athena Club adventures whose members are the daughters of Dr. Moreau, Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, Victor Frankenstein, Giacomo Rappacini and Vanhelsing.                          European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman by Theodora Goss   736 pages

Book 2 in the Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club series.   When I saw who the characters were I knew this would be a good story to read - I was not disappointed.   An excellent tale of the daughters of questionable fellows in fiction.  Diabolical or scientific geniuses - you decide.   I will go back and read the first novel to find out how all the ladies met, but, they certainly form a great group.  I enjoyed this book from beginning to end, each lady has her own distinct personality and lifestyle and the characters they meet and work with along the way is stellar!  Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Mina Harker and Count Dracula, etc. omgosh!  What a terrific story!  And wait till you see who is lurking at the end!  YIKES!   Can't wait to read the other two books in this series.  I recommend this story to grade schoolers on up to seniors.  It has something for everyone.
