I don't know whether to immortalize it for all eternity in a frame on my wall, or throw it into the fire. My feelings are so conflicted about this book. I don't normally change my ratings, so don't expect this TOO often.

I can't resist this book was so freaking good. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.Īw hell, I'm going to rate this 4.5 stars. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love-a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.īut behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway-a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
