It was fun to see the circus performers kick ass and torment the hell out of their &quot;mates.&quot;&quot;</li><li>&quot;Part of a great series. A must read.&quot;</li><li>&quot;LOVE. THIS. BOOK. The series is great. It really drew me in! I am a huge fan!&quot;</li><li>&quot;Love the entire series. This author has a wonderful imagination and all of her books are interesting and entertaining.&quot;</li><li>&quot;This story was as action packed as going to see the circus. Jo &amp; Manota are perfect for each other; even though it took Jo awhile to admit her feelings for Manota.&quot;</li><li>&quot;This novel was absolutely hilarious at times and frightfully suspenseful at others. It was a fantastic addition to Smith&apos;s fantastic collection.&quot;</li><li>&quot;I reread Jo&apos;s Journey again this week and loved it all over again. The humor in Ms Smith&apos;s stories make me smile and often even laugh out loud.&quot;</li><li>&quot;Third book in the series but does stand alone if you haven&apos;t read the previous two. It was a wonderful read.&quot;</li><li>&quot;As the third book in the series, it had unique twists. Highly recommend this book as well as the two preceeding books, Rivers Run and Star&apos;s Storm.&quot;</li></ul></div>
