Adam Frankenstein

    (Readers Entertainment, 2019)

(From the Publisher)

Legendary creature, now a U.S. Marshal, Adam Frankenstein is assigned to assist the New Orleans division of Mary Shelley's League of Supernatural Hunters in order to determine if someone has opened a portal to Hell.

For over 200 years the immortal creature, Adam Frankenstein, has roamed the earth looking to earn a soul and his right to die. Now, a U.S. Marshal in Houston, Texas he wakes in the middle of nowhere, near death. As the Grim Reaper reaches out to grant Adam's wish to end his immortal journey Adam must refuse.

The only love he has ever known is his immortal dog, Bella. She is missing. Adam knows she's been taken by evil men who run a dog fighting ring. His worry isn't that Bella would be killed, but that it would be discovered that she cannot die, no matter what they do to her.

Adam's partner, U.S. Marshal Rebecca Hughes, is his moral compass, his touchstone and now, the keeper of his secret. Adam and Rebecca work together to find Bella before she's forced to into the ring. Before it's discovered that she can't be killed.

Adam Frankenstein: Dog Fight has some mature themes and profanity.

"The story is action-packed but not gritty. There are some swear words, but it's not gratuitous, still making this acceptable for teen and young adult reading. The artwork is well presented and flows well with the story, filled with detail that feels like a movie. The main heart of this story is the love between a man and his dog. He feels her pain, he senses when something is wrong at the stakeout, and he will literally stop at nothing to save her when everyone else would consider her a lost cause. This makes his character endearing and you want to root for him the entire way. Adam Frankenstein: Dog Fight by Sheila English is a story that should appeal to those who enjoy reading action-packed graphic comic stories. Recommended."
