Flesh Circus - Lilith Saintcrow

Goodreads description: The Cirque de Charnu has come.

They will clean out the demons and the suicides, and move on. As long as they stay within the rules, Jill Kismet can't deny them entry. But she can watch--and if they step out of line, she'll send them packing.

When Cirque performers start dying grotesquely, Kismet has to find out why, or the fragile truce won't hold and her entire city will become a carnival of horror. She also has to play the resident hellbreed power against the Cirque to keep them in line, and find out why ordinary people are needing exorcisms. And then there's the murdered voodoo practitioners, and the zombies.

An ancient vengeance is about to be enacted. The Cirque is about to explode. And Jill Kismet is about to find out some games are played for keeps...


I have read all the books in this series and I have to admit this is my least favourite of the series so far. I really struggled to get into this book and Jill just annoyed me so much throughout this book. I found her to be really insensitive and selfish. Her treatment of Saul during the course of the book was unbelievable. She kept saying throughout the book that she understood that he had lost his mother but she certainly didn't act like it.

I also felt that the plot of the book was really weak and I did not enjoy it.

I really hope that Heaven's Spite is a lot better because I do like this series and would hate for this to be a downward spiral.
