Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin

Masque of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death, #1)

by Bethany Griffin

In this twist on Edgar Allen Poe's gothic short story, a wealthy teenaged girl who can afford a special mask to protect her from the plague that decimated humanity in the mid-1800s, falls in love, becomes caught up in a conspiracy to overthrow an oppressive government, and faces the threat of a new plague.

This is officially the first 'Steam Punk' genre book I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The world created by Bethany Griffin is magically. Elaborate costumes, masks, extraordinary transportation, I felt as though it was reading a modern dystopian historical novel and I was enthralled.
