Carnival of Dead Girls — Carissa Ann Lynch

Nothing interesting happens in the podunk town of Lamison Point -- until a freak show rolls through… When a traveling carnival stops in the sleepy countryside, sixteen-year-old Josie Crowley is psyched to go with her new friend, Freya. But what started out as a fun-filled night of games, candied apples, and ferris wheel rides quickly spirals into a gut-wrenching encounter with one of the carnival attractions. Once the excitement is over, Lamison is missing one of its residents… When Freya is nowhere to be found, Josie suspects the carnival has something to do with her disappearance. Her goal to track down the elusive show leads to an alarming revelation -- there is no record of it ever existing. And as she digs deeper, Josie is led to a mysterious town with a tainted past -- Flocksdale. Buried in Flocksdale's sick, twisted history is where Josie may find the truth… Creepy clowns, disfigured freaks, and a terrifying haunted house are the least of Josie's problems…now she has to deal with a group of real-life monsters, otherwise known as the evil Garrett family and new, rising generation of hell-bound freaks. If Josie is pulled into their world, she may become another member of a carnival of dead girls, where she goes in, and never comes out…
