Description
All Lola wants is to enjoy life like any normal teenager. But that feels out of reach when she begins to have haunting visions of blood and chaos. Even with her loyal friends-who have stood by her despite her dark vampire past-Lola can't shake the foreboding sense that something wicked is coming.
When a mysterious carnival rolls into town and pitches its tents on Duchesne Island, its dazzling lights and hypnotic music seem to cast a strange spell over the population...including Lola's friends. Beneath the carnival's glittering façade lurks something sinister, and Lola knows the charismatic ringmaster isn't what he seems.
To save the people she loves, Lola must untangle the dark secrets of the Carnival of Fools. But as her visions grow more terrifying, she realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined-and her connection with the Otherworld may be the key to stopping the coming storm.
