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 around them.
So what does Araby Worth have to live for?
Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery makeup . . . 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 is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.
And Araby may find not just something to live for, but something to fight for—no matter what it costs her.

So I finshed this one back on the 4th of this month and started writing this review as soon as I wa
s done. So how to review this one?! That is the issue I am having. Although I would not say that this is the must read of the year. I will say that the book was pretty good. I think a lot of the choices that happened didnt fit with the story. I mean if there is an outbreak and what protects you is your mask um ya I wouldnt be taking it off. The main charater's name was interesting Araby although I have no idea how to say it lol. Anyhoo one of the major things is this book goes over several weeks. And in this time our main girl has gotten splinters, been stabbed by a tiny skull and if memory serves drugged more times than I remember 2 or 3 of those times was with needles. So you are telling me that for some reason she hasnt gotten infected?! Unless this is explained in book 2 which I am starting on June 5th and will post it tomorrow. This series will not make much cense and will have a lot of inconstancies. So on to reading Dance of the Red Death
As for teams I am still Team Will even though something happened that I cant say since I dont do spoilers but, I do forgive him! The only other thing that I REALLY loved was that the minster who is the big bad after the prince. His identity blew me away. I didnt see that one coming at all!
NOTE: When I was writing up this review. I found out that this is a two book series. Three if you add the novella so that will interesting."This one I own! Purchased it from the Used Bookstore called Book Bazzar in Lakeland, FL Great please to get some great books!"
"Thanks to the publisher or author for sending me this copy!"

I really love the cover of the books, just not sure I will love the book.
I've been meaning to read this one for a while. But I just haven't gotten to it. I borrowed it from the library before, but I returned it before I read it. Thanks for the review!
