The sequel to Masque of the Red Death, which Melissa Marr called, “Haunting and beautiful.” Araby Worth is poised either to save her city, or to abandon it. In a novel that embodies dark, sexy, tragic, and fearless, Bethany Griffin concludes her incredible, atmospheric reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story.
Araby Worth’s city is on fire. Her brother is dead. Her best friend could be soon. Her mother is a prisoner, her father is in hiding. And the two boys who stole her heart have both betrayed her. But Araby has found herself, and she is going to fight back. Inspired by one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most compelling stories, “The Masque of the Red Death,” Bethany Griffin has spun two sultry and intricate novels about a young woman who finds herself on the brink of despair but refuses to give in. Decadent masquerades, steamy stolen moments, and sweeping action are set in a city crumbling from neglect and tragedy. A city that seeps into your skin. Dance of the Red Death is the riveting conclusion to the dark and fascinating saga of an unforgettable heroine.
Okay, this cover is amazing!! It is absolutely gorgeous. I need this book. Besides the incredible cover, I really loved the first book and when I discovered there would be a second one I was beyond excited.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this cover. I don't know if I like the fact that it seems to cheery colored for the story, but I still love it. I was expecting something much darker like Masque was.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first one but I may read this just for the great world building. But if the MC drives me crazy like she did in the first it's getting put down right quick.
ReplyDeleteGiselle and you were WoW twins.
I left pretttty much verbatim the same comment on both. Don't judge me.
Lol. No judgements here.
DeleteDotRD has been really popular this week! I still NEED to read MotRD first but they both look amazing. Great pick, thanks for sharing! ^.^ If you would like to check out my Waiting On Wednesday you can do so here. :)
