About this ebook
Her powers saved lives, but a sinister secret society threatens everything she holds dear...
England, 1883. Recovering from a devastating loss, Evelyn is determined to use her abilities to rescue other gifted individuals from those who would exploit them. But when a mission to save a young telekinetic girl goes awry, Evelyn finds herself entangled with a clandestine organization dedicated to recruiting and protecting people like her and her friends.
As if by magic, Evelyn's troubles start to vanish. Her reputation mends, her friends are taken care of, and her parents are delighted by her many suitors. She's even reunited with the charming Mr. Kent and the once-reclusive Mr. Braddock, who now better controls his dangerous power. Yet, Evelyn can't shake the feeling that something sinister lurks beneath the surface...
In These Ruthless Deeds, Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas deliver a gripping, action-packed sequel to These Vicious Masks, chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads.
Praise for the These Vicious Masks trilogy:
"This is a perfect pick for someone who wants a little magic in their Victorian novels, and its combination of historical fiction and mysticism will remind readers of Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy." —Booklist
"This tale has brisk pacing, plenty of action, and a heroine with more than her fair share of girl-power confidence." —School Library Journal

The story is immersive and captured my attention however my problem lies with the main character. Evelyn has her good qualities and i completely believe in character development. however, she is selfish, far too stubborn and very rash. she doesn't really learn from her mistakes either. This book was excellent but her actions and thoughts constantly annoyed me throughout the story.
About the author
Mild-mannered assistant by day, milder-mannered writer by night, Tarun Shanker is a New York University Graduate currently living in Los Angeles. His idea of paradise is a place where kung fu movies are projected on clouds, David Bowie's music fills the air, and chai tea flows freely from fountains.
Kelly Zekas, a New York University graduate, writes, acts, and reads in New York City. 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 (twelve?) and still loves a good historical romance.
Together they have written These Vicious Masks and its sequel These Ruthless Deeds.
