It's the Carnevale of 1750 and Venice's ballrooms, theatres, palazzos and squares are filled with delicious gossip, devilish fun and dangerous games. In this glittering masked world, everyone has a secret...Set in an age of decadence made famous by Casanova, Masquerade uncovers the secrets of seven teens, from the highest aristocrat to the lowest servant – their dreams, desires, loves, loyalties ... and betrayals.
All the world's a stage. Let the show begin.
This is by a debut Aussie author who I saw at PTA Live this week and so I thought it would be good to let you guys know about it (and check it out!)
The author described it as 'Downton Abbey' meets 'Gossip Girl' and with that really exciting setting and promising premise, I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
Released on 23rd July 2014
Omg yes! I'm so excited for this one as well. I saw this one at the National Book Bloggers forum and then at Penguin Teen Live so now I'm super excited! Always happy to be supporting an Aussie author as well. :D
