A Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Book of 2018
A kiss is never just a kiss.
Le Grandβs Carnival Fantastic isnβt like other traveling circuses. Itβs bound by a charm, held together by a centuries-old curse, that protects its members from ever growing older or getting hurt. Emmaline King is drawn to the circus like a moth to a flame...and unwittingly recruited into its folds by a mysterious teen boy whose kiss is as cold as ice.
Forced to travel through Texas as the new Girl in the Box, Emmaline is completely trapped. Breaking the curse seems like her only chance at freedom, but with no curse, thereβs no charm, eitherβdooming everyone who calls the Carnival Fantastic home. Including the boy sheβs afraid sheβs falling for.
Everythingβincluding his lifeβcould end with just one kiss.
