The Puppeteer

Harrow Faire, Book 2

By: Kathryn Ann Kingsley

Narrated by: Hollie Jackson

Silver strings she can’t outrun...her trouble now has just begun.

After Cora Glass’s life was stolen by Harrow Faire, things just keep going from bad to worse. Unable to run, unable to escape, there seems to be no way to avoid what she’s become - the Contortionist. But a girl can only take so much.

Haunted by an abandoned and seemingly sentient circus? Fine. The life of her best friend threatened unless she sacrificed herself? Fine. Tormented and stalked by a grinning madman who wanted to kill her, and now wants to do worse? That’s where Cora has to draw the line. As she struggles with the knowledge that magic is real and she will never go home again, she is also forced to contend with the advances of a man who may be the devil himself. And just like the tales of old, she finds herself drawn to him. If only Harrow Faire would slow down and give her a second to catch her breath.

Too bad that doesn’t seem to be in the cards.

love the book in print & love the narration

The narrator performs with style that supports, not distracts from, the tale. I don't typically like audiobooks. For years, I believed I hated them. Who performs the narration is crucial, and this narrator has the perfect balance of acting, but not overacting, and getting the tone and pacing right.

All this author's books are dark, kinky, violent, erotic, fantastical and imaginative. It's the grim in fairytales. You probably know this already, but if you're new to her work and have reasons to want a trigger warning, be aware it might push a few buttons. It's a bit dark, like a modern fairytale with erotic tension. Some of the dark romances on here make me want to scrub my mind after. This isn't that type, IMO. It's pleasantly macabre and one of her better series. If you didn't know that...this is book 2. Get The Contortionist first. 😉

Very Interesting

I enjoyed this novel very much from the storyline, to the narrator, it caught my attention and kept it.

💜💜💜

Loving this series. Dark and funny. Anyone else think Puppeteer is looking like a dark John Lennon.

Remarkably Sweet

Book 1 was fairly creepy. In comparison, this one was pretty sweet - sometimes with an edge of humor and sometimes with sadness. I read it in 2 days and I’m going to straight to book 3 now.

Loved it!

This is one of my favorite series! I have all the kindle books & am now buying all of the audio books to listen to
