These people who surround me every day accept me for who I am, and what I was transformed into. Yet, none of them truly understand the weight I’m carrying on my breaking body.I’m running from a past that’s riddled with pain. It haunts me. Every single day, every time I look in the … look in the mirror, it feels like he’s there too, looking over my shoulder.
I was born a freak. He turned me into a monster.

I absolutely loved this book. So many feels and the descriptiveness was sublime.
Oh holy hell what a book this was it just blew my mind. Once I started this I couldn’t put it down the story just flowed from one word into the next until I realized I’d reached the end.
Maia was given to Dr Waugh by her parent’s at a very young age to whom she thought would take care of her, but she finds out as she gets older that is not to be the case when she wakes one day to find herself face down on a gurney with him doing something to her. Are you intrigued, because that’s all I’m saying you’ll just have to one click it to find out what happens in Maia’s life and believe me you’ll want to know. This book was sooo good definitely a must read.
This was my first full Ally Vance book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This story had plenty of creepy darkness within it, and yet also unique lessons of love and acceptance. I enjoyed this addition to the Carnaval series, and I definitely want to check out more of Vance’s books in the future.
The carnival has come to town and the show is just getting started. Mutatus is the story of Maia and how she became the human fairy.
Maia, is one of the carnival’s attractions and is grateful to perform. She goes out every night and do what she does but when her father/tormentor comes back, everything changes for her.
This story is a horror and it’s not for the faintest heart but it was great for me. I liked all the squeamish scenes and the details in this story. Ally knows how to bring the grotesque things out in her books and deliver and good story.
This is a gripping, heart-pounding, and soul-shredding horror from Ally Vance. There are no words to truly explain my thoughts on the emotional impact of this book. All I can say is I needed chocolate and venting to even semi-recover from Mutatus.
Maia is a character who has gone through so much and my heart was terrorized as I read about her journey. It felt so incredibly realistic, a credit to the author. The depth of emotions the author pulls from her characters is awe-inspiring, even though it led to me needing to take the occasional break.
The world-building is extremely vivid and that storyline just leaves me speechless. It is an amazing addition to this series.
These characters snuck into my heart and will never be forgotten.
5 stars for a dark and emotionally deep read.
This story is so emotional. Had me in tears. The world can be so mean and add a crazy owner to the mix is call for disaster. Ally Vance had me feel every emotion that character felt. This us and fantastic read!!
Wow what a read this was. I LOVED the freak Show when it came to town, kinda makes me think what some of them go thru now. I loved how brave Maia was, and how crazy cool she sounds, I so wanna see what she looks like. But also made me sad for what she went thru and goes thru each day. Such an emotional read, I loved it.
This is Maia’s story and she was born a little person and passed on to a madman where she has no choices not knowing true love or where she belongs until she finds the Carnaval and some normal as the human fairy and acceptance.
I adored Maia her story is not an easy one to read it holds alot of struggle and emotional pain, I did not expect any of this and I was glued to the pages as this little beautiful woman came to life in this story and just tried to live and survive. Fantastic characters and writing that will consume you.
