Publisher's 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.

spicy is an understatement.

I enjoyed it

The story was good and the characters were interesting. I enjoyed the narration. She did a great job with the different characters, making each one different

Pleasantly surprised

Based on other reviews I had my doubts this one, but this is the first book I’ve enjoyed in a long time! The world building isn’t that complex, you get all the information you need to understand the areas and magic system, something I really appreciated. There’s smut in about 4 of the 26 chapters, they’re well written and didn’t make me feel like a fly on the wall hearing something I shouldn’t! Definitely give this one a shot, keep an open mind going into it!

Just smut

Makes me sad that books can’t just have a great story without being so extremely filthy. I don’t need super descriptive romance scenes to enjoy a book. I’m here for a good romance but it doesn’t have to be so dirty! Decided not to even finish the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Disappointing

The story was vague stumbling at best, it's primarily two strangers being into each other for unknown reasons. they don't ever get to know each other but they sure like sleeping together. and surprise! breeder ending. :/ Terrible book. The narrator was good though, so there's that.
