Hey Everyone, just finished reading the Demon in the Golden Mask for this weeks book. Now this is a weird book because you can only buy the book on Lulu.com. I found it by accident and thought I would give it a try.  The story is based around a really weird girl Sam who sees people as masked figures hiding behind secrets instead of actual people. And because of this she finds that she hates talking to them. The only person she likes is Shane, her best friend since childhood who always tells her the truth so that she won't hate him. But he IS hiding a secret from her, one that isn't safe for anyone to know. And Sam knows he might be keeping a secret, but she doesn't know what it is until Shane's dead body is found by his parents. Heartbroken and confused Sam tries to piece things together. At Shane's funeral she tries to escape the crowds of people and accidentally falls down a flight of stairs to be rescued by a strange boy who looks a lot like her best friend
