‘Calico Thunder Rides Again- Book Review

In a world where magic is banned, the circus stands, a magical wonder across all the land.

When Jake Strickland inherits the circus from his father it seems like things are going great.

But what he doesn’t know is that his father was in debt and owed a lot of money to mobsters and soon Jake finds himself and the circus in trouble.

With his girlfriend, Grace by his side, Jake is on a quest to save the circus, his employee’s livelihood and the animal’s lives before he is forced to close.

I found myself rooting for Jake to save the circus. You can really tell how much Jake cares about the creatures and his employees.

I loved the world the author had built here. Full of amazing characters that you will love and magical creatures such as Calico, a dragon, griffins and more. You also get a real feel for the relationships between the characters. It’s an easy, fun read and full of action. I loved delving into her world and found myself wrapping this one up quite quickly.

If you love books that are set within a magical land or loved the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ films, you’ll love this.

‘Calico Thunder Rides Again’ is a magical and whimsical read.
