I have to admit I was pulled in early in to this book and therefore the series. The way it is written makes a perfect picture and image in your head. From the simplest hues to the more daring and darkening colors of those of not this world. But it does not end there with the relationships between his character they are relatable and sometimes all to familiar. Full of suspense and wonder you start turning pages faster and faster and then you get deeper and deeper not believing how vivid and intense you are in to the story... then you hit that last page.

Stranger Magic Review -
I feel that although it is captivating and tantalizing for a first book I feel it is certainly a get the base down for the next step (at least most of it). It sets a good ground for the break out of the characters and future story. It is certainly easy and therefore a fast read of only 13 chapters that just leave this need and want to read more and see what the next page has to bring.

Revenge of the Viper Review -
If you thought that the first book was a 10 then this one is 15. Why would I say 15 because take all the greatness of Stranger Magic and then turn it on its' head. While things build and become more clear as you read on it leaves a some was shocked and stunned state to your being. Making it another page turner, and boy do the secrets and past come out to play.

Certainly would recommend these books to anyone who is enticed by magic and the unknown. Who also loved the Harry Potter books or any of the SyFy genre (not saying it is or is not like Harry Potter). Who likes to be transported to a world unlike this one and everything paranormal you will not be disappointed.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

(Information found on Overstock)

It is hard to give this book the review I want it to because you have to read it to really and truly get the experience. So I will start by saying I absolutely LOVED!! this book. It was hard to get into at parts but once I was in and reading it, it was like I was actually there. It made me want to close my eyes and just imagine, especially during the circus chapters Morgenstern gave wonderful imagery, and descriptions of the other senses that people could and most have had the pleasure of sensing.

The whole book jumps between 3 main people Celia, Marco (Enemies and Lovers), and Baliey (who truly comes in to more importance towards the end). As you can guess most of the setting is during a circus but not the a circus that most of us are accustomed to. I would have to say it is more Burton-esqued (Tim Burton), with the black, white, and silver theme. Yet other aspects would remind you of Pans Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro with intricate details to the smallest of items.

The elements of magic and illusion are ones that keep you just at the level of mystery, with magicians, card readers, tents the defy even the simplest of life's' wonders.

If there is something that you would really like to know about the book before you read comment and I will let you know what I can.
