    About this audiobook

    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 love the progression of the romantic love relationship between the main characters. It's solidly healthy and beautiful, while being dramatic enough for a fiction read. I love how Lilith Saintcrow integrates different types of occult myth and magic into this series. A great read for paranormal and urban fantasy fans.
    • 4/5
      Synopsis: The circus has come to town, but it's not for kids. This circus convinces people to commit suicide, or to trade their souls for forgetfulness. However, someone wants the circus workers dead and it seems to be tied to voodoo. Kismet is in for another mystery but at least Saul is back - sort of.Review: This was chilling in that there were carnivorous bugs and an all too realistic description of people who want to forget parts of their lives.
    • 5/5
      I love how with each book we are seeing more into Jill's head. Jill is a very complex and conflicted character, in order to understand why she does what she does we need to see the internal struggle. I also happen to like listening to her snarky little comments.This time around the Circus has come to town, one made of hellbreed and traders. What I loved about this plot is that they actually help the city, in a way. They clear out the suicidal and desperate who have just given up with their situations. While I wouldn't label them as good, they serve more of a purpose than the hellbreed that simply cause terror in town. It's nice to see another side of them. So often we see evil creatures as simply one sided, up to no good beings. Instead Saintcrow has created an enemy that becomes a needed evil as much as hated.The end of the series is in sight...while I am eager to find out what else happens to Jill Kismet, I am sad that I only have 2 books to go.
    • 3/5
      When I see a book described as having "nonstop action" I don't really take it literally. But it's pretty much true here - the book starts with a brawl and reels from fistfight to zombie attack to voodoo spirit possession until the very (creepy) end. It probably wouldn't work well as an intro to the series for that reason, but it holds up if you already have the context.
    • 3/5
      So the Jill Kismet series is turning into a series which I like but don't really enjoy. I like Saintcrow's writing; her worlds are fascinating, her tone is dark and edgy, and her style is just, well, cool.Unfortunately Flesh Circus didn't really hold my attention. I think the main problem is that it's always set on go, the pace is kind of Gabba-like, rather than any sort of ebb and flow. This also means she doesn't allow the characters a lot of interesting emotional interchange.
    • 5/5
      Another hard, scratchy book in the Jill Kismet series. Saul is back and Jill feels he's a bit off beat. There are misunderstandings around that that make the romance side of the book oddly compelling.There is also a complex story, unravelled and tidied up nicely at the end, in which it appears the voodoo practitioners and the traders, who normally avoid each other, are at war, all tied up with the return of Le Cirque de Charnu, a kind of circus of the damned.There's just enough there that I mostly worked it out first, although there are twists that I didn't get and there's some element of satisfaction in seeing how it unravels so I won't spoil that element further.And, of course, there's plenty of kick-ass action - shooting, whips, knives, punching the head off zombies to get them to stop and the like.
