“This book came as a recommendation from two very good friends and I'm so happy I picked it up. It was a most enjoyable read and beautifully crafted. Circus's have always sparked my imagination and getting a glimpse of perhaps some of the shadier aspects of the circus life as well as brushing up against the darker side of human nature. It was a thrilling ride. Plenty of characters to fall in love with in this novel and not all of them of the human variety. This was a great book and it was fun to have finished it over my birthday weekend while on vacation - it was the icing on my proverbial birthday cake.”
