Cirque Berserk by Jessica Guess

The summer of 1989 brought terror to the town of Shadows Creek, Florida in the form of a massacre at the local carnival, Cirque Berserk. One fateful night, a group of teens killed a dozen people then disappeared into thin air. No one knows why they did it, where they went, or even how many of them there were, but legend has it they still roam the abandoned carnival, looking for blood to spill.Thirty years later, best friends, Sam and Rochelle, are in the midst of a boring senior trip when they learn about the infamous Cirque Berserk. Seeking one last adventure, they and their friends journey to the nearby Shadows Creek to see if the urban legends about Cirque Berserk are true. But waiting for them beyond the carnival gates is a night of brutality, bloodshed, and betrayal.Will they make they it out alive, or will the carnival’s past demons extinguish their futures?

MY THOUGHTS

I saw this mentioned on someone’s YouTube channel and thought it sounded ok and it was a short book so thought I would have a read and i thought it was fast paced and got straight into everything from the start. I liked the twist in the book and that you flashed back to how the killers became how they did. The story wasn’t anything special but could see it as a film. A short not brilliant but good enough read if you don’t mind reading about people being killed.
