Fun House by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Aug. 15, 2023

I want to runaway and join the circus! I mean this was simply the perfect start to a new series and I am so excited. The new characters, the old characters that make a cameo! There is just so much to love!

Fun House by Lani Lynn Vale
Series: Welcome to the Circus #1
Genres: Romantic Suspense

Sometimes you need to crash a funeral to experience happiness.

At least, Kissimmee Singh, aerial artist for Singh Circus, the most sought-after traveling circus of all time, keeps telling herself that’s why she crashes funerals.

In reality, she’s lost and confused. Sometimes it’s nice to experience other people’s grief and be reminded that life isn’t as bad as it could be.

Though attending the funeral of some random old man that died of cancer wasn’t supposed to change her life completely. It does.

With one look at the grieving man and woman, she realizes that this was one funeral she probably should’ve stayed away from.

He’s in a black suit, black undershirt, black gloves, and black shoes. He looks like the devil himself.

When she tries to make a run for it, he follows and demands to know why she’s there.

If she’d known he was going to be trouble, she’d have stayed away. If she’d known that he’d follow her to their next stop, she might’ve tried a little harder to hide who she was. What she was.

But she didn’t.

Instead, she gave him everything in one single night. And will live to regret it.

Fun House Book Review


Simi Singh is part of the famous Singh Circus that consists of six sisters and one brother. I feel a little sorry for Keane being around all that estrogen all the time but thought he handled it well. Simi likes to crash funeral (weddings too) which is a bit weird but also where she meets Coffey.

On one of the worst days of his life Coffey meets the woman who will change his life. He is at a crossroads of a sorts and Simi along with the circus helps him find where he belongs. Coffey and Simi could not have been more perfect for one another! From the moment he gets to where she is he protects her without thought or question. He’s at the circus to see where this thing with Simi will go as well as to be the new cook for the family and crew.

Simi finds herself in trouble and I will say at first I was a little dumbfounded by why she singled out. However, that is something that gets cleared up as the story progresses. The family of course rally around her and Folsom plows her way as she tends to do.

I loved that we got to see Banner in this one. I mean I adore all of the Surplocks, regardless of which set of parents they are from. We also met Coffey’s former Navy Seal team and I have to wonder if any of the guys will make future appearances in this series. Not to mention Titus and Slone make an appearance. I would have loved to get more interaction with little Izta though but hopefully there will be more of her in the future books as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars A bookstore owner stalks an author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
