Welcome to the Cirque du Café. Come in, unwind, and sit for a spell. It arrives at random, sometimes impossibly crossing continents in the span of one night, known only by hushed whispers spread via word of mouth from one satisfied customer to the next. A traveling coffee shop with a very unique reputation and a peculiar menu of items that seem to be made of more than just cream and sugar. Order a Cookie Batter Breve to learn the name of your soulmate. Try an Espresso con Panna Noche if you wish to express your inner truth. A Butterscotch Vanilla Latte will cleanse your soul while a Dark Cherry Red Eye will curse enemies. And that menu item at the bottom that is blacked out? It is off limits. All menu items are served with a smile ... but choose carefully. The Cirque is staffed only by two baristas, one to work the day shift and one to work the night, and by Amberlee who is a long time apprentice working the dawn and dusk shifts. Since the moment the café into existence, there has always been only one apprentice. Until now. When a young man with an unknown past is curiously hired as a second apprentice, Amberlee is tasked with training him. But working at the café is no ordinary part time job, and unprecedented danger has been growing. Threats have been made against the café and its sister structures, the Cirque du Fleúr and the Cirque du Fortúne, and a string of murders seem to follow these traveling taverns. A very obvious message is beginning to unfold; someone knows where and how the Cirques travel, and for whatever reason, they are not pleased. Rotating through new cities and memorable landmarks, an odd yet charming crew of characters, midday adventures and late night secrets, magic drinks, and vanishing fires, it is up to the apprentices to solve the trail of death and reveal the mysterious murderers before the Cirques are shut down and disappear forever. Along with all of their employees. (all rights reserved)

CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO FOR EARLY ACCESS CHAPTERS ON INKITT!! *** "Calm down," he said as he brushed the broken glass off his forehead. "Calm down?" I shrieked. "You're telling me to calm down after a man just tried to kill us in the middle of the night and is now laying right over there dead!" I said pointing to his limp, none moving body. "He's fine," River said as if it were no big deal. "I didn't hit him that hard." I looked at him in pure shock. What was wrong with him? "Now come on," he said grabbing my arm and leading me away from the man. I looked at him. Sweat had formed all over his forehead and a look of urgency was written all over his face. Blood was now leaking from the nasty cut on his forehead and looked like it would need some serious tending. I looked between him and the guy laying on the ground. I'm probably going to regret this later. I thought to myself as I took a deep breath before nodding and without a second thought, he continued pulling me away. *** Cat was your average girl; she maintained good grades, loved friends, and wanted to become a famous dancer, but her life changes when she literally runs into the biggest bad boy in her school: River Parker. Aka, the boy who doesn't care about anything or anyone except his very few close friends, including Cat's best friend Liam. But little did she know that her 'run in' would throw her into a life of drugs, gambling, near-death experiences, and so much more. And to make things worse, she might be falling in love with him and all his dangerous ways. (I know that this may seem cliche, but please give it a chance) ©2016 Highest rating: #1 in TeenFiction
