Girl in the Shadows by Gwenda Bond
3.0
I received this copy from the publisher Skyscape and Two Lions via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed Girl in the Shadows some. I haven't read many circus/Vegas themed books (okay, only one) so I was excited to delve into more. There were some definite good parts, and some definite flaws.
The performance scenes intrigued me so much, I ate them up. I loved the histories, the magic, and the costumes.
I did not like the insta-love, and most of the characters fell flat, many of them not growing as people.
I did enjoy this book enough to want to read book 1.
