Biggest disappointment I've had in a long time, so much so that I scanned more than read the last 20%. Absolutely worse than book one and the destroyer of my hopes. Review to come.

Ohmygod, I'm going all fangirl, but I just love that title! It has the word "dance" in it, after all, and it sounds so hopelessly intriguing!
I am Team Elliott all the way, and can't wait to see more of him and his gorgeousness in this book :)

Really, another year? I have like fifty books I'm waiting for. This is one of the ones I want the most. Come on... AHHHH. I NEED IT.
Wait, does that say CONCLUSION? This is the last book??? WHAT???
UPDATE: ERMAGERD LOOK AT THAT COVER. GORGEOUS. JUST GORGEOUS.
Oh, and I seriously can't pick which guy she should choose. I mean I was totally team Will, but then he had to go and betray her. Even though it was for a good reason. As morbid as this seems, I kind of want one of them to die so she will have...more

I'm conflicted on this one.
Dance of the Red Death is one of those books I feel like I have been waiting on forever and imagine my excitement when this was up on Edelweisse. I have to admit, I was a bit underwhelmed with this one which has me very conflicted because I love Araby’s story and loved Masque of the Red Death.
Let me start with what I loved:

Araby’s story is one of the most fascinating things I have ever read. Normally, I would have ignored this kind of book. This book contains elements that I would have normally overlooked. It’s not my comfort zone so to speak. But, I don’t know, it worked. I just see myself hanging on to every page, savoring every detail.
I’m quite sad to find out this book is in fact the last one. But I’m amazed how things happened in here, lots of twist and turn. Death and despair. And of course a bit romance wou...more

I have a couple problems with this book already, I'm not saying I didn't love the first one, I did, but where can this go? If anyone else has read the original "Masque of the Red Death" they know death shows up and kills everybody. So is the story going to stick to the original or branch off? And purple mist? You have got to be kidding me :P I just hope the second book surpasses my expectations
I cannot wait that long for this book to come out! after what happened with Will in the last book i am slightly swinging towards Elliot's side. i dont blame Will though because in his shoes i might have done the same thing and Araby understands that..but it doesnt make it hurt any less..possibly more because she cant even hate him for what happened. Gahh! my heart! i need this book now!

HEY YOU, BOOK!
Definitely my most anticipated book of 2013. I love the fact that this book will begin right where it left off in the first book. I'm usually not a fan of follow up books that fast forwards a couple years, so this is a huge plus.
High expectations for this book. I need this book NOW, April 2013 is too far away :(
Re-reading Masque of the Red Death again and again is no longer doing it for me.
I neeeeed an ARC.

AHHHHHH!! I cant wait for this book. It feels centuries away. I want more Will and a chance for him to redeem himself, although I cant blame him for saving his young siblings. I have a younger sister, and I would do ANYTHING for her.

Props to Bethany Griffin for making this a two-book series. I liked Masque of the Red Death, so I'm glad we can cut out the second/middle book.
EDIT - Crap, a quick scan of stars, and it doesn't look promising.

I'll be running to the nearest book store as soon as this book is available. I'm not responsible for any injuries if there are people in the way.

This is probably the sequel that I'm most looking forward to read this year! :)
I struggled with this book. A lot. I kept reading because I was expecting something amazing to happen.
And it did, near the end. I loved the ending game for Araby, it was awesome. But it was too little too late.

ALL THE STARS! Full review to come but this is even better than the first novel in this amazing series. Such beautiful writing, and a fitting ending to Araby's story. Sexier, darker and more decadent.
While the first cover is Dark & red, I like this one a little bit more. Is purple &… elegant.
HOLY FUCKING CHEEZE-IT'S!!! IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!
Most definitely team Will. :)
