Kira

This was one of the more imaginative worlds I've seen in this genre. A magical carnival run by vampires in steampunk Victorian clothing? I LOVED that part. It was like The Night Circus with a sense of humor. I did lose interest about halfway, but I don't know if I can blame the book. It was a little hijinxy with all the capers Criminy and Letitia got into, but it was still entertaining. I just think I'm vampired out and wasn't fully in the mood for this one, hence the three stars. If I had read it in the height of my urban fantasy mania it may have gotten 4.

I did love Criminy though. How could I not?

"What are you doing?" I asked him. "I'm letting you get used to the idea of me," he said idly. "I'm pretending to be harmless. Is it working?"
