By a Charm and a Curse by Jaime Questell
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal,
Pages: 300
Publish : February 6th 2018 by Entangled: Teen
Le Grand’s Carnival Fantastic isn’t like other traveling circuses. It’s bound by a charm, held together by a centuries-old curse, that protects its members from ever growing older or getting hurt. Emmaline King is drawn to the circus like a moth to a flame…and unwittingly recruited into its folds by a mysterious teen boy whose kiss is as cold as ice.
Forced to travel through Texas as the new Girl in the Box, Emmaline is completely trapped. Breaking the curse seems like her only chance at freedom, but with no curse, there’s no charm, either—dooming everyone who calls the Carnival Fantastic home. Including the boy she’s afraid she’s falling for.
Everything—including his life—could end with just one kiss.
All I know is that someone mentioned that this book was able a carnival and I has just finished reading Caraval and was looking for another book that would suit my love of carnivals. First of all can we just take a moment to prevaricate the beauty that is that cover, its such an eye catching book that even if I didn't know what this book was about I would've picked this book up simply because of that cover. That story line was interesting and I give this book props for being a unique story. I can definatly say I haven't read another book like this which I really appreciate. I loved the characters and how the book progressed in the story. I will admit that I was a bit confused about the curse but as the story went on it slowly became clear enough for me to understand what was going on. When it came to Emma man it must of sucked being her and having to make that choice as picking a new person for the box and I couldn't help but think if I was in her shoes it would've been tough for me to make that decision that she was placed with. I honestly cant say more without spoiling the book but if you love books that feature unique carnivals then this book might be for you, I really enjoyed it!
