Product Information

This is a great read, compelling and addictive. Well written and great character development you cannot stop reading. I was spellbound from the beginning and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey! "Sue Speakman" My favorite thing about this book is the dialogue. The authors intricately composed period-style phrasing with a modern-day wit that is incredibly nuanced and thoughtful very well done. I was successfully transported by the characters in a way that rivaled my indulgence in Harry Potterland. "Cayla O'Connell" So much fun! Like a story by one of the Bronte sisters or Jane Austen, except the characters are much more self-aware and genre-savvy. "Duncan Pflaster" I need book two!! Where is book two This sucked me in right away (it was a terrible idea to start reading on a break at work I could barely bring myself to go back to work) and kept me engaged the whole way through. Some really great characters. (Also any book that mentions self-defenestration wins). But seriously, can I read book two now "Erin Keskeny""

YA is her absolute favorite thing on earth (other than cupcakes) and she has spent many hours crying over fictional deaths. She also started reading Harlequin romances at a possibly too early age (12?), and still loves a good paperback romance. "These Vicious Masks" is their first novel.
