Frankie's Monster — Rae Hachton

Love Never Dies Easy A xombie spends his time quietly alone in the attic, longing to feel alive again. It's only after he meets Francesca that his music box heart begins to beat. He saves her from the gang that tries to hurt her, but not long after, he falls for her. Strangely, she has an attraction for this anthropomorphic boy with the clock-work heart, too. But she knows their love won't be forever, the way Johnny has intended for it to. She's human, and well...he's not. He gives her his heart. And she breaks it. She breaks him. And now he wants it back. He wants her heart.
