Written by Bethany Griffin
In this sequel to ‘Masque of the Red Death’, Araby’s world is in shambles and filled with betrayal, death and disease. Evil surrounds her and she doesn’t have anyone that she can trust. Through these tough events she finds herself and becomes a stronger individual who doesn’t try to lose herself through ‘oblivion’.
Her revenge takes place at the masked ball and she will either lose everything she loves, or become the hero.
Bethany Griffin creates a world where you are pulled in and absorbed and you feel as if you are there with Araby and her friends as they try to save their city. The emotions she invokes with her creative wording makes you feel as if you are in the story.
I would highly recommend this book for those who love sci-fi/dystopian fiction with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure.
