Step into into a wondrously strange new world with this dazzling new standalone novel by Amanda Hocking, New York Times bestselling author of The Kanin Chronicles!
Mara has become used to the extraordinary. Roaming from place to place with Gideon Davorin’s Traveling Carnival, she longs for an ordinary life where no one has the ability to levitate or predict the future.
She gets her chance when the struggling sideshow sets up camp in the small town of Caudry, and she meets a gorgeous local guy named Gabe. But before long, Mara realizes there’s a dark presence lurking in the town that’s threatening the lives of her friends. She has seven days to take control of a power she didn’t know she had in order to save everyone she cares about—and change the future forever.
In the pages of Freeks, Amanda Hocking once again proves her ability to create amazing characters and enchanting worlds that will capture your imagination and never let go.

A standalone YA fantasy novel featuring a travelling circus is always going to pique my interest!

I’ve read some good reviews for this, although I read the first book in her Trylle trilogy and it was just ok for me. Love the cover, though!

I have to admit, I read the Trylle trilogy before I was reading as much, so I dont know what I would think now. But it did capture my interest. And agree the cover is very cool!
