Based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth instead of The Tempest, this second in the in the Twisted Lit series is a little darker than its predecessor with themes of ambition, deception, murder, and mental illness, but Exposure shares the clear-eyed wit and literate style that made reading Tempestuous such a p...
MEMORABLE QUOTE: "When I develop pictures in a darkroom, it's almost like painting with light." (p. 21)OVERALL IMPRESSION: Unfortunately, I have never read Macbeth, so I cannot compare this story to that at all.

This was cute, but a little like candy. Sweet, but doesn't really stick with you.A few too many flowery descriptions, and the entire premise was a little on the silly side. Hmmm, it sounds like I hated it, and I didn't -- I finished it, but I don't know that I'll go out of my way to look for further...
