I received a copy of the audio from the author for review; all opinions are my own.

I was drawn into this creepy circus in the Lousiana Bayou. Kimberly Loth creates a creepy world where The Circus of the Dead has a literally meaning. Callie has been sent by her mother to help her uncle. But her uncle seems confused and this doesn’t seem like the kind of summer job Callie wants. She quickly becomes enmeshed with the crew, some that are out to kill and others with even more nefarious motives. Callie needs out now.

I enjoyed Callie and cheered her on as she tries to make the best of the world she is stuck in. Se never gives up or gives in and fights throughout the book. The narrator gives Callie a great voice and makes you care even more for the character.

I need to listen to the second book now; I have to know what happens next.
