This week I am waiting on:
Dance of the Red Death
by Bethany Griffin
To be published by Greenwillow
on June 11, 2013
Araby’s world is in shambles—betrayal, death, disease, and evil forces surround her. She has no one to trust. But she finds herself and discovers that she will fight for the people she loves, and for her city. Her revenge will take place at the menacing masked ball, though it could destroy her and everyone she loves…or it could turn her into a hero. With a nod to Edgar Allan Poe, Bethany Griffin concludes her tragic and mysterious Red Death series with a heroine that young adult readers will never forget.
I'm a huge Poe fan and really enjoyed Masque of the Red Death's imaginative world building and creepy vibe. It's one part alt history, one part post-apocalyptic, and one part steampunk.
The release date on this book was pushed from May to June, so I feel like I've been waiting forever! I want to read about the masked ball!
Tell me what book you're waiting for, and leave me a link so I can visit you back!
I still haven't read the first book in this series but I've heard nothing but amazing things about it. I hope you'll get to read it soon :)
ReplyDeleteTanja @ Ja čitam, a ti?
Me too!
DeleteI read the first book but wasn't super thrilled with some of the events (especially the love triangle) so I'm probably not going to continue unless I hear some really good things about this sequel.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this triangle didn't bother me so much for some reason...
DeleteAgreed, Masque was fantastic! Loved the world, the despair, the hope, the mystery! I also feel like I've been waiting forever but now it's suddenly so soon o.O Anyway, great pick :)

"feel like I've been waiting forever but now it's suddenly so soon"

I am really looking forward to this one too!! I loved the first one!! I am going to be starting this one soon hopefully.
ReplyDeleteAh another series I need to start...I actually own the first one though so maybe sometime this year I'll get my act together and read it. I love Poe so it's surprising its taken this long, lol. Great pick!

I loved Masque of the Red Death. I can't wait to read this. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteGood choice! I haven't actually read the first book yet but it's in my TBR pile for this summer!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read the first book in this series. I've heard it's great.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!!!!! I loved Masque of the Red Death! I can still picture the last few pages in my head! So good!

I requested this on Edelweiss and my fingers are crossed so hard it hurts! Gorgeous cover art, too. Makes me sad mine are ecopies. :P
ReplyDeleteI have got to read Masque of the Red Death! I've been meaning to for forever! I have this one on my tbr too. I'm hoping I'll get an early copy from NetGalley, but chances are probably slim. Either way I'll be reading both of them. My WOW is for Blackmoore, a historical romance that I know will be really good. :)

The way you describe it makes it sound like just my type of book, but I never picked up the first one, because I had read a ton of mixed reviews.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the chance yet to read Masque of Red Death, but have heard such great things about it...Hopefully Dance of the Red Death is just as great. *Adding to TBR list* Great pick!
ReplyDeleteKimberly@Book Swoon :)
I'm so excited to read this! I also am a huge Poe fan and I loved loved love the first book. Can't wait to read it! Great choice WoW pick :-)
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on this one on edelweiss too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one but it sounds interesting. See what I'm waiting on here

I need to read this book! I didn't really like Masque of the Red Death, but I enjoyed it enough to want to read the next one (this one). I requested it from Edelweiss - hopefully they approve! Hope you get to read this book soon! :D
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW post!
I haven't heard of either of these. I need to look up Masque of the Red Death and check it out before this one is released. Good pick!

LOVED Masque. Must read Dance ASAP. Especially since I'm on the tour. Eeep! I'm ready to see how all that betrayal and upheaval at the end of Masque plays out! And, yay! A two book series!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteNice pick! Masque was certainly a good book. I'm sure readers are dying for Dance! Thanks for sharing, Jen.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I have an arc of this but I havn't read it yet. : )
