So, When I got approved for this audiobook by NetGalley I was thrilled. I went through the first 18 chapters in one day. My issue was that after chapter 18 things started to not make sense like bits and pieces of the chapters were missing. So, what I had to do was wait for the book to be published and grab myself a hardcover. That being said I loved this book. My bookish heart is still, the author has done it again. Let me start by saying he can that this is dark, highly addictive, and not for a short novel but this has sealed the deal for this offer to be on my instant buy list. Grab a Cup of tea and your favorite reading spot because you probably could finish this in one sitting. I tend to go into these books blind and get pulled into the atmosphere of them better that way. I did read A Witch in Time and loved it beyond words so happy to have both on my bookshelf. The plot follows generations of the Cabot family between the 1920s and the 2000s and spreads out over three parts. Lara is left at the alter on her wedding day by a vanished husband-to-be. As she puts the pieces of her life back together new revelations on her past, her missing fiancé and a dark heritage start to surface. I am learning that I love a good magic or circus-inspired read. I appreciate an author that can tie in the regular with the magical and make the story not miss a beat. I will confess this has become my new favorite genre where magic and romance are mixed. I will apologize for my late review I had such a fun ride with this book that I can not wait to see what comes next for this author. You will want to find out what happens to him and how she copes. You will most likely love the journal entries they were the parts that I inhaled the quickest and they added so much to the story. I loved everything about this thank you to the author NetGalley and everyone involved. Keep up the great writing of an awesome book.

Between the title and the gorgeous cover, I jumped into this book completely blind. It was different than I thought it would be! (For one thing - there's zero aerial hoop work in the book, so not sure why they put a hoop on the cover - likely because it makes people think of circus acts... anyway...) I assumed this book would be a fictional story about the female performers of a circus. And it was. Kind of.

This book has so many layers and themes woven into it. It had a missing fiance, a few different mysteries, a love story, travelling, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, family relationship dynamics, ancestry, secrets, magic, fantasy, history, detective work, a chase, action.... it had just about everything!… (meer)

This is definitely reminiscent of addie larue (even both of their demon lovers are called Luke).
I loved some lives of hers and quite disliked others - I felt like some of them could have been shortened to improve the pace.
Overall I found it entertaining but I needed more chemistry between her and Luke.
