About this book

"Isnt it a bit strange that all these horrible things are happening to Miss Massey now... Just in time to make her think that the curse is working." Sarah Massey, talented lead actress in Circus Sweethearts, is a mess. She should be dancing on air—after all, her boyfriend just proposed. But she has lost his gift: a beautiful emerald necklace with a storied history. Rumor has it whoever loses the necklace will be cursed, and now everything around Miss Massey is falling apart.
