I've heard nothing but good things about Masque of the Red Death, so I was super excited to finally read it myself to see what the fuss was about. This book was definitely not what I expected.
After the death of her twin brother, Araby struggles daily just to find a reason to live. Nights are spent with her best friend April at the Debauchery Club, which is the only place Araby can go to escape the disease and death that they face on a daily basis. The club is where she meets Will, and also Elliott, who both have secrets, but also have the ability to change Araby's life forever.
The characters in this book were all amazingly well developed. I found each of them fascinating, and all for different reasons. You have to feel bad for what Araby, the main character, has been through. I can imagine why she wanted to slip into oblivion whenever she possibly could. We do see her change throughout the book from a girl with many issues into a very strong, determined young lady. I was very glad to see that.
The cover is soo awesome!! Great Pick!
