About the Book:

After escaping the Cirque Du Noir, I head home, back to the family farm.

But I never make it.

Once I disembark the train, I’m accosted by none other than Rex, the foreman of the circus, and another man I’ve never seen before.

One who holds a gun to my face.

Forced back to the circus, I’m now more keen than ever to solve the mystery of the darkness that seems to absorb everyone who not only works for the circus, but who attends it.

The answers I find, I’m not prepared for.

And the truth regarding the mystery of Cirque Du Noir is one I wish I’d never discovered.

My Review:

In book 2, The Girl on the Poster, Bindi fled the Cirque Du Noir and located some information about the troupe that is highly disturbing. The beginning of The Girl in the Dark finds Bindi trying to process what she's found. Before she can truly act on the information she discovered, Rex locates her and forces her back to the circus. Her curiosity, and anger, fully piqued, Bindi tries harder than ever to figure out what is going on behind the scenes. When she discovers the truth, Bindi's world crashes down around her.

This final book in the trilogy is suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. Questions are answered, revealing shocking truths. Answers I was not prepared for and an ending that left me stunned. I was expecting and hoping for a different outcome. While I was disappointed, the ending of the book was still perfectly executed, and buttoned up this trilogy the best way it could.

This book will draw you in and keep you engaged from the start. The characters are complex, well-written, and interesting. This writing due certainly knows how to keep me on the edge of my seat.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.
