*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Why does this awesomeness have to be a stand alone? I was totally hooked in this fabulous story from the very first page. Dean just has this way with words that really brings the story to life in my mind making it impossible to stop reading once I get started. It just seemed to keep drawing me in further and further until the next thing I knew I was on the last page sad that the story was over. If you like paranormal reverse harem novels then you so have to give this one a try. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars.
Aw man, I wish there was more than on book. I’d love to hear more about Kitty and her lions lives in the Vaudeville Circus.
I absolutely loved this book. It had all the feels, a circus and a happy ending. I’m definitely going to check out more of this authors books.
I’m going to preface this review by explaining I’m a really big fan of this literary universe. I started with Spotted Her First (standalone), then the Chaos of Foxes series (trilogy), and the short in an anthology. I mention them all not because you need to read them, but in the other books in this universe a lot of the characters usually make cameos between books, and I’ve read some reviews where people complain about it (personally, I’ve never had a problem with it). While this book is set in the same universe, you don’t see cameos like with the other books. There’s mention of things here or there from other books, but it in no way detracts from the story and is done in a way that there is no doubt what’s being discussed.
Now, the story. Kitty is fantastic. She knows what she wants, she knows what she enjoys, and she has no qualms being true to who she is. Circumstances may have been hard for her, but she rolls with it, straight into the Cirque and a world she knew nothing about. I genuinely feel that the world building in this universe of books is one of the author’s strong points. Yes, the books are contemporary in some ways in that the books aren’t high fantasy and are in the modern world, but there’s this whole society hidden in the shadows that’s had to be built. Every time I pick up a book in the Council of Paranormals universe, I get sucked into it. This book is no different, and as a standalone, it’s a nice change from the series that tend to be the prevailing storytelling format in the RH genre. Don’t get me wrong. I love a series, but sometimes you want a standalone, and with this standalone being part of an existing universe, it’s actually kind of a great mix of the familiarity a series offers and the newness of a standalone/first book of a series. The storyline is fun and sexy, it’s well-paced, and the characters come into their own. Loved it. Brilliant and entertaining read from Emma Dean.
I enjoyed this book. Lion shifters was new for me and I loved it. The circus set was so neat. I wish there was more. I would definitely read them.
I loved this book. The characters were amazing. I liked the plot of the story. It’s different from other paranormal romance books. I love the whole world of council of paranormal. Every book in this world is amazing and this book is no exception. I loved the concept of all the paranormal books being in the same world. You are not going to regret reading this book.
The book was so good
I loved the book and I can’t wait to read more from the author and what she will write in the future
Loved the Circus! The main characters were deep and relatable. I would love this to be a series and get to know more of the performers for the Circus!
Loved this circus shifter romance. Kitty is a great character, her story sucked me in right away with the made dash she made and then it all just kept getting better from there. This was a wonder read, great characters, heartfelt story arc and and a tearful HEA. Emma Dean is a wonderful writer and this was just another amazing story added to her portfolio. Also I just straight up love this shifter series, after reading the prequel I was instantly hooked!
