Sleight by Jennifer Sommersby

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book surprisingly gave me a similar feeling to when I first read Twilight. I was quite disappointed when I got to the end and found that I wanted to read the next book, which apparently hasn't been written yet.

Gemma Flannery is a "circus kid" who has just lost her mother. Her circus family decides that the circus will remain in Eaglefern until Gemma, Junie, and Ash complete their senior year in the local public high school. There, Gemma meets Henry Dmitri whose father runs just about everything in the area, including financing the circus. From there, we begin a rollercoaster ride involving shades (aka ghosts), magic, good vs. evil, and first love. It is not a peaceful ride, and the ending is something of a cliffhanger. I hope that this series will continue.
