Carnival of Shadows is the second book in the Black Water Magic series by Leslie Scott. I love a great paranormal romance, so when I saw this it captured my attention immediately. I didn’t notice that it was the second book in the series, but the story was easy to follow and I didn’t feel like I was ‘lost’ or confused with the storyline. But having said that, my curiosity about past means I will definitely be going back to read book #1 before continuing the series.
No spoilers from me- the blurb does a great snapshot of what to expect so all I will say is- with interesting and quirky characters, a enticing storyline, a bizarre carnival, mystery, witches, shifters, demons, and more- there is plenty here to entice any paranormal romance lover.

Thank you, Leslie Scott!
