“Lives collide in a spectacular tangle of love, hate, and long-standing vendettas…Add in class warfare, a deadly tournament, and the Carnival of Souls, where any pleasure or contract can be fulfilled, and this is one novel that will be at the top of everyone’s to-read list.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
The fast pace, feisty female warriors, and themes of social justice bear more than a small resemblance to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games, but Marr’s many fans from the Wicked Lovely series won’t be disappointed. — Booklist
“Marr showcases her impressive talent by crafting an incredible, fantastical, complex world. This book is worth reading for the amazing fight scenes alone. Immerse yourself in the CARNIVAL OF SOULS, you won’t regret it.” — RT Book Reviews (top pick)
“Marr’s trademark blend of dark romance, fantasy, and action is on full display.” — Publishers Weekly
A novel so dangerous and decadent it’s impossible to put down. — Kami Garcia
Melissa Marr’s best book yet, which is saying quite a lot. — Margaret Stohl
