Why read it?

1 author picked The Ladies of the Secret Circus as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a big sucker for magical circuses, so when I found out this book featured a magical circus set in Paris in 1925, I was doubly invested.

I loved the carousels that took you back in time, the floating trapeze artists, and the dark allure lurking under the carnival’s performances. This story switches back and forth between two timelines, drawing readers into an unfolding mystery about the circus’s fate.

I was captivated right until the story’s shocking end.

From Ryan's list on set in a magical version of Paris.
