The Russos thought life after the Prism would finally be quiet. The book opens with celebration: Alex and Mason's wedding, a chaotic, heartfelt ceremony that only the Russo family could pull off. For once, the chaos is happy, and Alex dares to imagine a normal life with her new husband by her side. But "normal" doesn't last long. When a mysterious traveling carnival rolls into New York, dazzling crowds with impossible acts and enchanted performances, Alex and her family sense something isn't right. People leave the carnival changed-hollow, joyless, missing pieces of who they were. Whispers spread that the carnival is powered by an ancient entity that feeds on memories and emotions, weaving despair in its wake. As the Russos dig deeper, they realize the carnival isn't just entertainment-it's a trap. Each tent hides a test designed to exploit their deepest fears and secret desires. Justin must outwit illusions that prey on his need for control. Juliet faces a maze that tempts her with eternal freedom from vampirism. Harper confronts her longing to be more than "the mortal friend." And Alex herself must resist the allure of the carnival's ringmaster, who promises her a life of power and peace without responsibility. But the greatest danger may not be under the striped tents-it may already be inside them. When the carnival sets its sights on Mason, threatening to tear apart the family's newest bond, Alex must risk everything to break the curse. With humor, heart, and high-stakes magic, The Carnival of Shadows is a story of family, temptation, and the courage to hold onto joy even when the world tries to steal it away.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION You do magic once, and it sticks to you like glitter glue... When Johnny and his best friend, Alison, pass their summer holidays dabbling in magic, they never expect it to have consequences. Sure, it'd be great if they could banish bullies or change their lives for the better, and what harm could come from lighting a few candles and chanting a few spells? They get their answer in the form of an earthquake unleashed at their behest, which draws the attention of the Marduk Institute, an age-old organization dedicated to fostering the talents of young wizards. Whisked away to the institute and told they can never return to their old lives, Johnny and Alison must quickly adapt to a new world shimmering with monsters, fraternities, and cute boys like Hunter and Blake. But when they're pulled into a dark, supernatural fight that could cost them their lives, they'll have to find strength they never knew they had as they battle for love, acceptance, and their own happy endings -- all with the help of a little bit of magic.

When (Y/N) was invited on the Russo family vacation, she couldn't say no, especially since Max promised it would be the vacation of a lifetime. But when Alex wishes her Mom and Dad never met it was up to the Russos and (Y/N) to help save the day (even if it meant exposing (Y/N) to the Wizard World).
