Masque of the Red Death - Waiting on Wednesday


Why am I pining for Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin?
Who doesn't want to read a dystopian, gothic, horror novel based on the infamous Edgar Allen Poe's story with the same title? I adore the cover, look at those colors, the amazing dress and the stylish umbrella. Two boys both have their secrets.. Oh, this sounds sooo good!

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find something not just to live for, but to fight for—no matter what it costs her.
