I forgot to say I got this for review fron booksirens.
The story was very fun, dark and twisty. It was interesting learning Peggy Lee's progression into the darkness and how it all played out. The kids were evil and creepy. Would be cool if there would be a novella about them when they are older and what sort of craziness they would evolve too.

Just as nuts as the description promises. I chose this as a break between books with heavier tones. While Miss Fortune is plenty dark and twisted, its absurdity creates levity. The animal violence did made me squirm, so I'll give a heads up that it gets explicit. Pretty much every central character is grimy and gross to the nth degree. The novella length was perfect for this story. Gleason wraps it up in a satisfying way while still leaving me wanting to divine the characters' futures.
Thank you to Gleason for the opportunity to read this book for free! I'm leaving this review of my own accord.

I did receive an advance review copy of this book, for free but that will not affect my review. I finished this story very quickly as it was such a fun ride and I was eager to see where it went. The development of Miss Fortune was very interesting to see and I would have been interested in seeing more of her. If you are after a naughty quick read at the carnival, give this a go.

Thank you, BookSiren, for the ARC, and thank you to the writer and publishers for all your hard work. This review is voluntary and happily left!
This is definitely a book you can finish in one sitting. It's quirky and strange. Full of murder and death. Murder and some gore it doesn't go into too much detail, so that's good if you're not into that. This does mention sexual acts quite a bit, but doesn't go into too much detail.
What I did enjoy was the fact you're going between two timeliness. You're learning about the past and the future. I enjoyed the mysteriousness of the ringmaster and just learning about the different types of deaths as they happened.
The only real complaint I have about this book is that it did get kinda repetitive with the killings. Even so, I still enjoyed reading this book.
The Fabulous Miss Fortune is definitely interesting and quirky.
