Masque of the Red Death

"Just because you don't want to see something doesn't mean that it will go away. Do you think Inhumanity doesn't exist if you pretend not to see it? or maybe get too drunk to understand? We've forgotten the things that make life worthwhile."

My Thoughts:

Lately I've decided that I want to branch out from just reading modern day supernatural YA books and somehow came across this book. I think with all the bok from my goodreads.com page they recommeded this book to me.

I found this book hauntingly beautiful. I was thoroughly hooked to the book that I've managed to read this book in one day. The characters are very likeable and I liked seeing the characters progress and change and learn more about them.

Oh and another thing I noticed the rating for the book is 3 of 5 stars. It's worth 4 or 5. Such a fantastic book don't let the low ratings dissuade you from getting the book. For you Edgar Allen Poe fans you might want to read this.
