I try not to sign up for too many ARCs anymore, but when I saw this one I could not resist! A dark circus romance?! Of course sign me up! And this book did not disappoint. A novella, but it packs a punch! I absolutely loved it!

Indie - a sweet & innocent type in the beginning, but she’s not so innocent. She lives at home with her alcoholic father, her mother passed in a car accident, so she’s basically the responsible. One night her friends want her to go to this circus. They have been hearing about it all over TikTok. But it’s not your typical circus. This one is definitely “adults only”. The Cirque Du Désir is much too dark for children.

Lux - burned badly as a child in a home with a mom who didn’t care and his father figure beat him, he lost them both to the fire but was left with bad burns. As an adult he forms the Cirque Du Désir. He is the ringmaster. And he has shown no one his face and keeps it behind a clown mask. Not even his cirkies have seen his face. He never participates in the events. He just sits on his thrown for all to see as the dark events happen around him. That was until Indie came into the Big Top that night. Then everything changes for both of them so quickly.

This book is full of spice. There’s a good bit of triggers.
So make sure you check them out before reading. This book is very very dark. If you love some deep and dark romance then this definitely is for you!
