Why we recommend it

Step beneath the big top where the lights flicker and shadows hide secrets in this carnival-set dark romance. The eerie, off-kilter setting amplifies a sense of danger lurking just past the painted smiles. For readers drawn to atmospheric, slightly sinister worlds and a love story tangled up in things best left in the dark, this series entry trades whimsy for something far more haunting.
