Cirque Berserk is the first piece of work I have read by Jessica Guess, and it will 100% without a doubt not be the last! I had a great time from the first page through the end... and I still want more! Cirque Berserk is just my kind of book: slasher horror! I will always love the slasher sub-genre. But this is not your average or cookie-cutter slasher. Guess creates her own new formula and she executes it perfectly.

Full of twists and revamped/modernized tropes, Guess delivers quite the scary slasher story. I love how many times I found myself predicting what was about to happen only to be totally cast off balance when the event(s) actually unfolded. The dialogue was engaging, the kills were never a let down, and the fact that this book also "has heart" makes it even better. Also, the fact that the sections of the books are titled after famous 80s pop songs is just the cherry on top. Guess checks all the right boxes with Cirque Berserk!

If you enjoy slasher books and movies then this needs to go to the top of your TBR! 5 stars from me - and I need to read anything and everything that Guess delivers from here on! Thanks so much to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
