***Book Review*** Show Stealer (Show Stopper #2) by Hayley Barker

Hoshiko and Ben have been on the run since they burned Silvio Sabatini's
circus down to the ground at the explosive finale of SHOW
STOPPER. But Ben's mother will stop at nothing to track him down
and get her revenge: backing him into a corner where he is forced
to sacrifice himself to save Hoshiko. 

The deadliest show on earth
has been resurrected and if Ben thought he'd seen into its dark
corners as an outsider, the true extent of the horrors that lurk
beneath the Big Top are about to be revealed as he becomes the
circus' new star attraction...

REVIEW

4/5 Stars

A circus on fire. Fugitives on the run. The deadliest show on earth is ready for an encore

This book has literally kept me at the edge of my seat. Like seriously, I almost fell from the couch due to anticipation.

The story continues a year after Show Stopper ended and showcases Hoshi and Ben's journey ahead. Hoshi being the most wanted criminal, evading the cops is no easy task and after Ben sacrifices his freedom for her, he totally won me over. That kind of love, oh it gave me goosebumps. Ben is totally swoon worthy.

Like like the previous book, this one deals with somber reality of what goes on in the Cirque that Hoshi left behind. Just when she thought things couldn't get worse in the hell that she lives, the devil himself reappears before her eyes.

My only complain would be the ending. I would have liked it more if it was more descriptive as the rest of the book. The epilogue about Silvio teases us about a possibility of another book. I for one would absolutely love to read more about Hoshi and Ben.

Show Stealer is one hell of a book! I simply couldn't put it down. This book is full of drama, tension, love and most of all it's completely action packed.
