Cirque de Miroirs #1
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was a little wary of reading a book about a circus, but then I started to read and rolled my eyes at myself. It’s Skye Warren, of course it’s going to be riveting!
The author presents a circus of the modern world, it doesn’t use freaks or animals, but rather acrobats, a show story that uses special effects to titillate the imagination, nice rides and the usual booths of knife throwing and a fortune teller. She presents a magical world, but modern. I loved the circus life in this book!
Sienna Mae comes from an abusive home, set in a itty bitty town in Texas that has no prospects, no hope. A woman’s only options are to be a wife or a stripper. Men have a choice of going to college, join the army, or get a job logging wood. She has a bad reputation in town, courtesy of a friend turned enemy, now the town bully, Kyle. Life is pretty harsh and disagreeable for Sienna and she can’t wait to leave town. Her only worry is her mom, who has some warped sense of honor that makes her accept this life as her life.
When the circus hits town, she’s being abused by Kyle, as per usual, after defending another ex-childhood friend Tristan. This man appears out of nowhere and defends her. There’s an instant attraction between them, she learns his name is Logan and he invites her back to the circus.
What is riveting about this book is that it holds a lot of secrets but the feelings are crystal clear. Sienna feels a huge attraction for Logan, but her upbringing makes her cynical, distrustful, and standoffish. She suspects his motives all the time. Logan has a dark past, he’s full of secrets, and his motives for bringing the circus to Forrester, where he won’t make much of a profit, are suspect. He’s full of red flags, but when Sienna needed help, he was the one who made her feel safe. She left with the circus, but her problems are not over, they are just a different sort.
I immediately started rooting for Sienna and Logan. In spite of his secrets and guilt over his past, he feels like an good person who tries to do the right thing. He’s generous and protective about the circus employees, who he sees as family. His reason for coming to Forrester, once revealed, show he has good intentions. Sienna is smart and resilient. I loved to see she’s slowly opening up to Logan.
I screamed when the book ended in a cliffhanger and now I can’t imagine how to wait for the sequel. Once again, Skye Warren has sucked me into a trilogy and I will be biting my nails waiting for the next one!
