My Thoughts:
After reading book 1 I was patiently waiting for book 2 to come out and Ashleigh Giannoccaro does not disappoint. What a magnificent story. Each page will leave you at the edge of your seat and have you turning the page to find out what happens next. The story will have you loving clowns and marveling at the challenges that they face while performing. As they perform you will find yourself holding your breath waiting to see what happens.
A. Giannoccaro pushes the boundaries with her writing and this book is no different. It is a psychological thriller that will leave you wondering what you just read (in a good way!) The ending to the book was PERFECT however I am wondering what will she come up with next. I thought Ashleigh did a great job of spinning the story and connecting the characters throughout. It takes a real creative mind to spin a story, connect the characters and keep you turning the pages to the end while not being able to put the book down.
I can’t wait to read more books by Ashleigh Giannoccaro. She has become one of my favorite authors with her out of the box writing and boundaries that she pushes. If you like to read a book that is original and different, that will push your mind to the limits and make you want more, then you need to pick up a book by A. Giannoccaro. She will definitely draw you in and keep you hooked.
