Mara has become used to the extraordinary.  Roaming from place to place with Gideon Davorin's Traveling Carnival, she longs for an ordinary life where no one has the ability to levitate or predict the future.

She gets her chance when the struggling sideshow sets up camp in the small town of Caudry, and she meets a gorgeous local guy named Gabe.  But before long, Mara realizes there's a dark presence lurking in the town that's threatening the lives of her friends.  She has seven days to take control of a power she didn't know she had in order to save everyone she cares about -- and change the future forever.



Book Review

I'd never read anything written by Amanda Hocking, but when I saw the cover of Freeks, I knew had to give this book a read.  Judging a book by its cover is a bit of a gamble I know, but if a book even looks like it might have something to do with magic/the supernatural or have some type of mystery/crime/thriller element, then I'm all in.  I was totally getting the vibe that this book had a combination of all of the above.
