adventure carnival circus europe london magic mystery thriller urban

Things such as fire dragons and magical illusions were all things Adria Lynch had wished were real when she had first been drawn into the fictional worlds that spun tales of awe onto the pages of books; now she wished more than ever that those things could return to what she once knew them as: figments of imagination.

When she defies her father’s wishes and sneaks out to see the legendary and supposedly magical carnival Magnum Opus, the last she expects is to be kidnapped by the strange man who calls himself Luther Crothers.  Forced into a world of magic more chaotic than beautiful, Adria soon discovers she plays an important role in a plot she didn’t believe could exist.  With some help from interesting figures – particularly the handsome Emilio Caruso – Adria will have to struggle through lies and deceit to achieve freedom from her mysterious captor.

Twin At First Sight |✓| by LoveFoodAndSleep

I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her.

My Life Of Evasion by writeon27

Passport? Check. Book of maps to every country in the world? Check. The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check. My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check! The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check! Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
