More About This Book

Overview

This is a short story prequel to the novel Masquerade. It is about 20 pages plus there is bonus material of the first chapter of Masquerade.

What if your life was charmed and everything in it was perfect…
Before.
This is the story of my past. Of what things were like for me when everything was normal. Of what every teenagers life is like. Clothes. Parties. Boys and summer vacation. What’s so wrong with that? I liked it. I was happy.
At least I thought I was.
I didn’t know that lies and secrets were about to take over my existence. I didn’t know that there was someone out there, someone meant for me. I didn’t know that I was about to go on a journey, a journey that would lead me to the girl I am today.
This is the story that leads up to one of the worst years of my life. Would I go back and change things? Erase everything that has happened to go back into these moments?
Not a chance.
This is a story of before.

    Intrigued

    This is a short prequel giving just enough to get curious and it worked! Will be buying Masquerade - I have to know what happens! This is meant for tween-young adult readers (which I'm not, but will continue to read it for myself and then give to my daughter if its appropriate for her to read. Love finding books that we both can enjoy and talk about.

    The perfect teaser

    Before is a short story, the prequel to Masquerade. In Before we are introduced to Heven and Sam. Heven has the perfect life, looks, friends, guys…everything a girl could want.

    Sam is in some kind of trouble, but we do not get to know enough about him to understand what kind of trouble it is. What we do know is that he is in love with Heven…but he should have stayed away.

    This book is the perfect teaser to make you want to read Masquerade to find out what happens.

    This is a great little teaser book to lead us into book one. It leaves it so you want to hurry and get to the next book. I can't wait to see what happens.

    Very good

    I'm so glad Cambria will be re-releasing these since the publisher went broke. It is a very good series.

    Wonderful lead in to Masquerade by Cambria Hebert

    This is a short introduction to the main characters of Masquerade. This story gives you insight to what is going on when you read Masquerade. It is a wonderful read but is only 44 pages long.

    Masquerade

    Read this and prepare yourself for "Masquerade"

    ¿Before¿ tells us a bit about Sam and Heven, and their lives ¿ before. Before ¿Masquerade¿ ¿ this is the prequel, after all. Sam is trying to stop the monster from killing, and agrees to stay away from Heven. But he just can¿t. Heven is blonde, beautiful, and was just named captain of the cheerleading squad for the next school year. It¿s amazing how things can change in just one night ¿

    This is a short prequel to Cambria¿s novel ¿Masquerade¿ and as such it gives us a bit of background. The beauty of this short is the way that things seem mostly normal ¿ except when they are not. There are little hints here and there that things aren¿t necessarily what they seem ¿ just who is Sam? Who is the monster? What are they looking for? And why Heven? Highly engaging, and definitely will whet your appetite for ¿Masquerade.¿ Check out Cambria Hebert¿s stories ¿ she¿s may be newly published, but she has her craft down.
