Review / Release Blitz: Fun House (Welcome to the Circus #1) by Lani Lynn Vale

FUN HOUSE by Lani Lynn Vale
Book 1 in the Welcome to the Circus Series
Release: August 15, 2023



About the Book
Sometimes you need to crash a funeral to experience happiness.
At least, Kissimmee Singh, aerial artist for Singh Circus, the most sought-after traveling circus of all time, keeps telling herself that’s why she crashes funerals.
In reality, she’s lost and confused. Sometimes it’s nice to experience other people’s grief and be reminded that life isn’t as bad as it could be.
Though attending the funeral of some random old man that died of cancer wasn’t supposed to change her life completely. It does.
With one look at the grieving man and woman, she realizes that this was one funeral she probably should’ve stayed away from.
He’s in a black suit, black undershirt, black gloves, and black shoes. He looks like the devil himself.
When she tries to make a run for it, he follows and demands to know why she’s there.
If she’d known he was going to be trouble, she’d have stayed away. If she’d known that he’d follow her to their next stop, she might’ve tried a little harder to hide who she was. What she was.
But she didn’t.
Instead, she gave him everything in one single night. And will live to regret it.


MY REVIEW

Simi has a thing for crashing funerals. No, it's not for morbid reasons or anything, but it's a way of watching people but not having to really talk to them or know them. Her family's circus is in town, she's a little bored and a little curious about this small town, so off she goes. She has no idea that the gorgeous guy who is obviously grieving will be the man to change her life.


A chance encounter at his father's funeral changes Coffey's path. With a windfall inheritance, and a letter from his dad to nudge him, he's off to find his beautiful funeral crasher. Once he finds her, he plans on keeping her, making a life with her and her family. He'll have to protect her, protect them, and bring his crew along for the ride, so that he can obtain that brass ring he sees in his future.


I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard that Lani's new series would be set in a circus. Of course she came through in the biggest of ways, though, because I love this series, this family already. Simi and her siblings are quirky, snarky, and funny, and obviously love each other and have each other's backs. They may snap at each other and drive each other crazy, but there's a solid family here. Then there's Coffey, a mysterious man of contrasts. He seems foreboding on the outside, obviously has secrets and a past, but with Simi he's a big softie. There's suspense in the form of a mystery with a truly awful villain at the center, and Coffey and his crew couldn't have been more awesome as they took care of business. I didn't think I could love a couple as much as I love some of the ones in Lani's past series, but I think Simi and Coffey have just taken the number 1 spot in my heart full of Lani's amazing couples. I can't wait for Caristonia and Slone's story up next - Freak Show!

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
