Steiner's Sideshow is short on performers until a little whirlwind named Lily Dean sweeps through and proves a snake charmer can make it in the freak show! Lily and her snakes put on a great show and she has special powers that began when she was a child. Marie the Fat Lady and Jason the Alligator Man are back, and they take Lily under their wings. Lily was raised in a snake-handling church and those roots just won't let go. Soon, Lily and her snakes are in danger. With Marie and Jason, along with a handsome tattooed man, Lily fights those who want to damage her and her serpents.A fast paced novella, Lily Dean pulls you into the world of Steiner's quickly. The characters are funny, and loveable. More a dark fantasy than horror story although parts were definitely horrifying, but I think religious fanatics usually are. A great read that makes me want to check out the rest of the series! A solid 4.5 stars.
