Day 26: Circus

The MC is sent to spend the summer with her uncle who works for a circus on a remote island in Louisiana after he summons for her – only he didn‘t. And it‘s not just called the Circus Of The Dead – people actually die there, sometimes as part of the acts. Once on the island, she‘s desperate to find a way to escape all the ghosts & danger & . . . boys? I really liked this book, but a little too boy crazy for my taste. And such a sudden ending!

I dislike that the book ended on a cliffhanger midway through the book‘s main plot line. Nothing was resolved in the book. I don't feel like any of my questions were answered. I also found myself not believing what was going on, probably because the main character didn't believe what was happening. I won‘t be reading more and that makes me sad. I liked the world and the premise seems cool, if only I‘d gotten to see more of it.

Saw this book on KindleUnlimited for a while, so surprised no one‘s reviewed it on Litsy yet, & that the sequels aren‘t on Litsy at all. This was so much fun! I will def be reading through other books in the series. A few YA cliches at first, but those fizzled out as the book carried on. A creepy circus filled with ghosts & set in New Orleans with Voodoo lore tied in. What‘s not to love?
