Yes, it even trumps the magic I felt while reading Harry Potter. This is the closest I’ve ever felt to that. I grew up wishing my Hogwarts letter would one day arrive and I’ll be living in a magical world. It seemed so mysterious it almost sounds like a horror story. The blurb sent a chill up my spine when I first read it.

If this does not tickle your curiosity, I don’t know what will: The book’s own blurb provides the best hook. As soon as you pass through the gates, it is a whole new world. There’s something magical about a circus… not just the sleight of hand or the very well trained performers. I remember reading (and watching) Water for Elephants and wishing that a circus stops nearby. And I’m not talking about Cirque du Soleil. Just the thought of it makes me so excited. When was the last time you’ve been to a circus? It’s been too long for me. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.īut behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors.
