Summary

Enter at your own risk—and discover the greatest show unearthed in this explosive, darkly imaginative debut fantasy…

For humans, the circus is a place filled with wonder and amazement. For Harrow, though, it’s a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. Disguising her abilities as part of her act has kept her true identity safe for years.

Until he arrives.

A strange new attraction with no name, no memory of who—or even what—he is, let alone an explanation for his odd yet deadly powers. But beneath the layers of anger and isolation, one glimpse into his inky eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in her own.

And so she chooses him.

Harrow is drawn to the darkness, to her insatiable need to soothe the beast who threatens their very existence. But with every secret she unlocks from his past, another from hers whispers free as well—luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she’s afraid she’s given them the perfect weapon against her…because he’s not what he seems.

But maybe it’s time they finally learn—neither is she.

Shallow fluff.

A book that has suggestions of background immortal queens and a chance of political intrigue, but ultimately about a woman. who takes advantage of a character who is described as having no memories or experience in life. If the genders were reversed and a worldly male character met a woman in the same circumstances, it would be 'ick' and 'problematic'.

All in all a shallow story, so if you're just looking for some 2-chilli-pepper borderline-monster-but-not-really smut where words like 'member' and 'center' are thrown around like it's 2016 Tumblr, this might be for you.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
