Book Info
The Carnival of Mysteries just arrived in Sutton County. They say if you cross the fortune teller’s palm with silver she can read your future like a map. Right now all Ledger Conroy wants to know is if he has a future. Back in Sutton after over a decade, Ledger’s plan had been to bury his father--recently deceased convicted serial killer and less-well known warlock, Bell Conroy--clear the property, and then finally wash his hands of being a Conroy. Instead there’s a cured human heart in the larder, a pissed off pretty boy who is definitely not human at the door, and a debt to the devil that Ledger’s just inherited. Devil. Monster. Something like that. He’d not asked for its pedigree Whatever it was, it's given Ledger a week to fulfill the terms of his father’s contract. Or else he’s never going to leave Sutton again. With pretty-boy Wren at his heels, more to make sure Ledger doesn’t skip town than to provide assistance, Ledger tries to track his father’s sins across Sutton. The problem is there’s so many of them. Ledger is faced with old grudges, a Sheriff that thinks Ledger knows more about his father’s crimes than he’s ever said (and isn’t wrong), and a dead man with a book shop. Not to mention the on-going distraction of Wren, who can't decide whether to be a hindrance, a help, or just hot. Luckily Ledger has a nose for this sort of work.

Sting in the Tail is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series. Each book stands alone, but each one includes at least one visit to Errante Ame's Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it's on, so each visit is unique and special. This book contains a dealer in dark collectibles, a man who's NOT people, and a monster with a debt it expects to be paid.

💭Our Thoughts
This was a wild ride from start to finish.
It had a little bit of everything
a creepy carnival with an even more bizarre crew
a mysterious dealer
a monster(?) with a debt to collect
a whole lot of really strange and/or just plain high on the creepy vibe-giving scale supporting characters
a lot of clues each opening a new box of pandora nightmares
a romance that's as steamy as it is dangerous
It's the kind of book that will keep you up late at night, turning pages until you find out what happens next.

Ledger returns to his hometown after the death of his infamous father. Ledger wants to put the past behind him and move on with his life, but he soon finds himself chatting with a scarecrow and making a deal to save his life.
Turns out Dad had a little more going on than just un-aliving people.
What should have been a simple recovery turns into a dark and dangerous mystery involving a traveling carnival, some very strange characters, some dark collectibles, and monsters, one with a debt to collect.

This was packed with creative characters.
From the uniquely creepy to the oh-so-cuddly
This had a bit of everything. Great world-building!
The banter and smexual tension between these two was hot as hades and so believable.
The plot is full of twists and turns, and there are some genuinely breath-holding, heart heart-pounding moments.
Also plenty of laugh-out-loud moments as well.

So if you're looking for a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, make your heart race, and make you laugh out loud all at the same time, then this is the book for you.

This is a standalone that takes place in the Carnival of Mysteries collection
