"You can't just paint a smile on your face, kid; you need to make them believe it's real. Even when most of the time, it won't be."
It's the summer of '89 and Bonkin's Bonanza is reopening. Everyone is excited to attend, but little do they know, what fun they're looking for turns into a twisted nightmare.
This book had everything I love - a carnival, clowns, blood and gore, dark humour, and great characters. The first chapter immediately sucked me right in and it was a wild ride from start to finish!
I actually loved the characters and everything they went through together. The relationships, the heartaches, the betrayal. I loved that the author took the time to make them all feel real throughout the craziness that was happening.
And nothing makes for a better atmosphere than a carnival! The setting was perfect and the clowns were outrageous and unique. The kills were bloody and the non-stop giggling was crazy 😆 I definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a fun, bloody horror set at a carnival!
