The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora GossMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book in the Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club series. You will want to start here because it gives you the back story of all the main characters. I am so glad it is a series because I really didn't want the book to end. I love a book told from multiple points of view and this one is that and then some with the characters interrupting the main storyteller to share their opinions or versions.
What is the Athena Club? Literature's famous mad scientists all formed a secret society to turn their "daughters" into monsters and then those young women come together to battle that society with some help from Sherlock Holmes, that's the Athena Club. It is a really empowering concept that sends a message that it is okay to embrace your weird.
If you like classic horror films or books, Sherlock Holmes, or Penny Dreadful, you should check out this book!
