Amanda Foody takes all the expectations of YA fantasy and turns them on their head in "Daughter of the Burning City." Forget prophecies and picture-perfect protagonists just coming into their power, Sorina is 16 and well-practiced in her craft as an illusion-worker. In fact, she's created herself an entire family of living illusions that perform with her in her Freak Show as part of the travelling Gomorrah Festival. Her illusions are so real that it's a shock when the first is murdered and attention-shy Sorina has to step up to the plate to solve the murder and protect her family. Strong-willed, even if she is lacking in confidence, Sorina will definitely be joining the ranks of Tris and Katniss!
Twisting, complex and intricately detailed, Amanda Foody has shown she is one to watch in her debut novel. "Daughter of the Burning City" will have you burning the candle at both ends to finish reading! - Caitlin (QBD)

A beguiling read filled with fantasy, magic and mystery. Not hooked yet? Here's another taste: Charms, jinxes, illusions coming to life and characters that are truly unique. Just reading the premise I knew I had to have this book and it does not disappoint, not one little bit! - Caitlyn (QBD)
