Fantastic start to this dark and spooky series.
This is the first book in a new dark and spooky trilogy from HP Mallory and JR Rain. The story is set in 1930s rural USA.
I loved this book. I genuinely couldn’t put it down and I blasted through it in one evening. Definitely a page-turner. Excellent, fascinating characters and fantastic world building.
The story is told from the point of view of its main character, nineteen-year-old Bindi, who has left her home to meet her best friend Amelia and join the Cirque du Noir as a contortionist. Amelia doesn’t show up for their meeting so Bindi goes ahead and joins on her own.
As its name suggests, the Cirque du Noir is a dark and twisted place. Many of the performers are what would then have been considered to be freaks. Reality is blurred and all is not what it seems.
It would seem that Bindi is expected, though she cannot work out how or why. There are posters with pictures of a young woman who looks exactly like her and both the owner and the manager feel very familiar to her, although she could swear she’s never met them before. The longer Bindi stays, the less she can remember about her life before. She is drawn to the forbidden black caravan at the outskirts of the Cirque; a place she has been warned never to enter alone. Naturally, her curiosity gets the better of her and what she finds in there is shocking.
I absolutely cannot wait to get into book two.
