It's 1870 and a deadly virus has decimated the population of North America. Masked corpse-collectors roam the streets, removing the bodies before the contagion can spread. Though Araby tries to escape it all with drugs and parties, even at her most intoxicated she can't forget her brother's death - or her guilt for causing it. But things begin to change when William, the fascinating proprietor of The Debauchery Club where she searches for oblivion, and Elliott, nephew of the insane dictator, enter her life. One wants her heart, and the other her name. Convinced that he has won over his uncle's army, Elliott believes that having Araby on his arm will charm the populace into supporting a new government. After all, her father is the inventor of the mask which prevents the spread of the plague and saved civilisation - for those who can afford it... But Araby's greatest interest is that his plans will make protective masks available to all citizens and, in particular, to Will's young siblings, whom she has come to love despite herself. But nothing is what it seems. A new contagion called the Red Death is sweeping the city and a shocking revelation about the origin of the new virus puts Araby's life in danger. The mob wants her. The rebels want her. And both boys want her. In this superb two-book series, what and whom Araby chooses may just decide the fate of humanity...

Adam Russell of the Honolulu PD encounters the body of a woman in her sixties—the second in recent days to inexplicably die of what seem like natural causes—he reaches out to Karen Vail, the renowned FBI profiler, who hops on the next plane. But even for someone as fluent in the language of murder as Vail, this case is hard to read. How were these women asphyxiated with no signs of trauma? How can she gather clues or collect evidence when the killer seems to strike during the briefest casual encounters? Is this the behavior of a male or a female perpetrator? And perhaps most terrifying of all, if the deaths appear so natural at first glance, how many victims have already been overlooked? Now, as something cold and dark lurks under the sunny warmth of this island paradise, Vail must stop a serial killer as elusive as the breeze . . . “Karen Vail is one tough character.” —Kathy Reichs, New York Times–bestselling author “Jacobson should be mandatory reading for the James Patterson crowd.” —Library Journal “A unique and imaginative plot filled with witty dialogue and page-turning intrigue.” —Catherine Coulter, New York Times–bestselling author

Book Synopsis Ravenword and the House of the Red Death by : Justin Greenway
Download or read book Ravenword and the House of the Red Death written by Justin Greenway and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This homage to Edgar Allan Poe and his masterful short story, "The Masque of the Red Death", definitely has all the imagery down pat! From the ravens, to the ruined castle, to the utterly macabre animated corpses, to the addled Professor Fichtenburg, the visuals are strong and eminently suited to the genre. It is very easy to imagine the Gothic and often grotesque scenes. Likewise, the action scenes are fast-paced, clear, and full of lively energy. The conflicts set up in the story make for a solid story framework. The plot progresses quite smoothly with each of these conflicts and builds, the tone and characterization are clear-and the dialogue is terrific! The overall pacing of the plot is consistent, smooth, and nicely developed. The structure is typical for the Gothic horror genre. The plot progression is linear, and the chapters move forward in a logical way. The opening is engaging and introduces Ravenword in an appealing way. The juxtaposition of the modern dialogue and characters with the old-fashioned Gothic castle setting is particularly satisfying. The first few chapters provide the reader with all the need-to-know information about the characters, conflict, and premise. The ending offers effective closure and resolution. The story is written in third-person omniscient point of view. We learn, view, hear, and understand everything as the Ravenword characters do. This sets up the feeling of suspense very well, as the reader is just as baffled as Ravenword by the strange goings-on and, like them, wants to uncover the mystery. The characters are described and developed consistently, and each character has a purpose in the plot. Characters are consistent, well-developed, and effective throughout. Parson is funny, strong-willed, and emotional. He delivers the most biting (and humorous) insults, but he retains a high likability factor. Agnot, too, is a well-drawn, strong character, one who is easily visualized right from the beginning. Both Billy and Grayson are mysteriously presented (pleasingly so). The dialogue itself is great. It offers a nice distinction, in its slang and modernity, from the prose of the narrative. As mentioned before, the reader will enjoy the juxtaposition of this modern-sounding dialogue and characters with the Gothic setting.
