Carnival of Souls

Daimons and witches are mortal enemies. What happens when their worlds get mixed up and no one really knows who they are? Mallory knows her father Adam is a witch. What she doesn't know is that she is a daimon that he stole from her true father and hid in the human world. Aya is a half-witch, half-daimon. If she is found out, she will be killed in The City, where daimons rule and witches drool. J/K. Enter Kaleb, a cur daimon, the lowest of the low. He is trying to fight his way out of his caste and into the ruling caste. They are all fighting to win a place on the ruling council, and the fights are usually to the death. When Aya and Kaleb team up, they each have ulterior motives that can get them killed. Of course, Kaleb falls for Mallory, who has been raised to hate daimons, and Aya has killed the one she loves to stop from having to marry him and have his babies. This book is a carnival. Melissa Marr has created a world where you never really know who is behind the mask. It has such lush imagery, you can see yourself walking the carnival at night with all the masked creatures waiting to make you an offer you can't refuse. But who to trust? When Mallory's father goes missing, she must rely on those she was trained to hate to help her find him. All the characters have much to lose and everything to gain if only they play their cards right. So, was there a happy ending you ask? Stay tuned for the rest of the series- sorry!! Book one down as my week of Thanksgiving break starts. Rainy day, stack of books, and very few papers to grade- looks like it will be a good one. Happy reading my friends!
