Masqueraded: Act One

Being haunted by a sinister circus ghosts and scary clowns wasnt unusual for the spunky 18-year-old girl Estela Nannette Sinclair. Neither was the physical and emotional abuse that she faced from her adoptive parents.

Her life was a complex façade of lies that hid how deeply she was entangled with three powerhouses of dark magic. Had she been that ignorant of the masquerade before her? An ignorance that wasnt bliss. And an ignorance that meant her corpse would likely decorate an amusement attraction in a mere two weeks time.Masqueraded is a suspenseful and deliciously dark psychological thriller and the first chapter of an emotionally-charged YA paranormal series that features a strong female lead character who is looking for answers to her troubled past while discovering new depths of deviant dark magic lurking underneath the surface in the carnival where she escaped the domestic abuse of her youth.
