Donatella and Scarlett Dragna escaped their cruel father and made it out of Caraval alive, but the games aren’t over yet. What Scarlett doesn’t know is that, in order to gain their freedom, Tella made a deal with a mysterious stranger and now it’s time to pay.
Except what Tella owes is something that no one has ever been able to deliver: the true name of Caraval Master Legend. Tella’s only chance at uncovering Legend’s true identity is to enter the dangerous game of Caraval once more, and win. But what will she have to sacrifice to do that?
The first book follows Scarlett as she plays the game & tries to save her sister, Tess. On the way she falls in love with Julian, learns who she is, what she wants, & what she’s capable of.
This book follows Tess as she plays the game & tries to save their mother, Paloma. Dante helps her along the way & of course, they fall in love. Sounds like the first book, but trust me, it’s very different. And Dante. Oh Dante, you sexy, tattooed, secretive, morally grey, beefcake. Your conflicted, brooding & brilliant character arc made this story. As the story unfolds, you are also introduced to several other new faces. Specifically, Jacks, who both terrifies me & intrigues me. He’s one of those characters that keep you guessing whether or not he’s pure evil or has some good somewhere in him. Honestly, I still don’t know. Book 3 will hopefully answer some questions I have.
I love how this book really focuses on fate vs free will. Is what’s happening to you fated, and totally predetermined? Or are you making choices & acting in ways that cause you to manifest the destiny you think you deserve?
These books are so beautifully written, with descriptive prose that is positively alluring & dreamy. I don’t want the series to end, but at the same time, I CAN 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 WAIT 👏🏻 to see what happens.
