I had really high hopes for this one but in the end it just wasn't for me.
The blurb and the cover would lead you to believe this has more to do with a magical circus than it actually does, which was let down number 1 for me.
This could've been a really good enemies to lovers book but it falls more into the insta love category which is not my favourite. The main characters lacked any kind of chemistry which honestly is pretty common in instalove books. There's no tension, no buildup.
It was a super promising storyline and the authors set up an intriguing magical world but it was just missing something and didn't hook me in like I wanted it to.
