![]() ![]() One of the personal notes that I took while reading : Araby, have you lost your damn mind?!?!? Yes, I did use all of that punctuation. ![]() ![]() When the story turned dark, it was dark, but GAH.it took so long to get there! I do admit to being impressed that the party scenes were on the money and held up well with the new spin, but the male posturing which came first was awkwardly embarrassing. It took me well over half of the book before I was finally able to see the creepy Poe inspiration at work. I wish I could say the same thing about Dance of the Red Death. In fact, I rather enjoyed it - because the story itself was not suffocated out by the love triangle. The love triangle didn't bother me before. What the heck happened with book 2? It was as if everything I found exciting and infectious (pun intended) about Masque of the Red Death was distorted and lacking this time around. I have at least one thing in common with Araby - her love story was choking me also. "No." It feels like the rope is back around my throat, cutting off my air supply. ![]()
