I started reading These Vicious Masks on my way in to work on Sunday night. About 5am Monday morning I signed up for this week's Bout of Books readathon and, at that point, I had only managed to get to page 30. Silly distractions and work stuff..... but slap "athon" onto my reading and it's like my own superpower is activated. I finished the book at 1:35am Tuesday and didn't even skip sleep to do so.
And it's amazing.
I had read on Amazon that it's like Jane Austen meets X-Men. Whoever wrote that clearly doesn't know their time periods very well, but enough nitpickiness about Regency versus Victorian.... this book is still amazing. I immediately fell in love with Evelyn. From the very first page I knew she was my kind of spunky. And her male counterparts? Oooooh I'm having trouble picking between the two! What I do know is that the ending almost made me fall out of my chair and that I'm super excited to get my hands on the sequel.

I like the intro to this, though I'm not sure it's my type of book. Enjoy!
Sounds like an intriguing book.
Sounds like something I would like.
Not a fan of the Jane Austen spin offs but, hope you like these.
But it's not at all a spin-off or Austenesque and isn't even the correct half of the century. Whoever wrote that must have said "hmmm ... 1800s ... must be like Austen" (which it isn't).
