The Immortal Circus by AR Kahler
Publication date: December 4, 2012 by 47North
Murdered contortionists aren’t exactly what Vivienne signed up for when she ran away to join the circus. But like most things under the big top, nothing is what it seems. With a past she can’t quite remember, Vivienne finds that running away forever might not be as appealing as it once sounded—especially not when she realizes the devilishly attractive ringleader Mab is the Faerie Queen of legend…and that she and the rest of the troupe are locked in an age-old rivalry between the otherworldly Courts.
Aided by her friends Kingston—a feisty stage magician whose magic is quickly stealing her heart—and his smart-ass assistant Melody, Vivienne finds herself racing against the clock to discover the culprit behind a series of deaths that should be impossible. However, the answer she seeks might reveal more about her own bloody past—and future—than she bargains for.
The show’s just beginning.

The Bookish Brunette thought:
The Immortal Circus is told in ‘episodes’… This is the review for Episode 3.
Mab has deemed Vivienne the newest addition to the juggling act of The Immortal Circus. You know… After the last member of the trio fell to his untimely death. What can I say? It seems logical NOT to irritate the Queen of the Winter Court, but that’s just me.
“Sorry one of your friends died like one of Vlad Dracula’s victims, but hey, I hear your single so maybe we can go out sometime.”
Our beloved Melody has fallen even more sickly and for seemingly no reason at all. The members of The Immortal Circus should not be subject to such trivial things like age and illness. They live forever, as long as they’re contract with Mab holds steady.
Kingston is… Well Kingston. I’m sure he and Viv will end up in some torrid love affair somewhere in the next two episodes. Possibly when someone offs Melody or she just dies unexpectedly from an illness she should never have gotten. Then he won’t be so utterly depressed, because he’s also a witch doctor… Magician? But for some reason, he’s unable to cure her.
I’m curious to find out what deep, hidden power Vivienne is developing… And we’re getting close to finding out who is behind all the death and destruction of The Immortal Circus.
“Darling, everyone has demons. Yours have just gone quiet.”
A snake with feathers, masquerading as a tattoo most regularly, an entire circus just waiting to be picked off one by one and a budding romance fills the third episode of The Immortal Circus.

Immortal Circus teaser:
“I’m not the killer,” I say. At least, I don’t think I am. “I almost saw them, last night.”
“Well, if it’s any consolation, I don’t think you’re the killer either.”
I open my eyes and look at him. He’s looking right at me, his face only a few inches away. How many times have we been like this? Half a step away from leaning in and kissing, a second away from doing what my heart’s been begging me to do since I first laid eyes on him. If I wanted to, I could end the streak; I could lean in and kiss him here and now.
“Why not?” I ask.
“Because,” he says. His comforting smile turns wicked. “You’re too much of a wimp to kill anyone.”
