Suspended: The Vagabond Circus, Book 1 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

When a stranger joins the cast of Vagabond Circus - a circus that is run by Dream Travelers and features real magic - mysterious events start happening. The once orderly grounds of the circus become riddled with hidden threats. And the ringmaster realizes not only is his circus and its magic at risk, but also his very life.

Vagabond Circus caters to the skeptics. Without skeptics, it would close its doors. This is because Vagabond Circus runs for two reasons and only two reasons: first and foremost to provide the lost and lonely Dream Travelers a place to be illustrious. And secondly, to show the nonbelievers that there's still magic in the world. If they believe, then they care, and if they care, then they don't destroy. They stop the small abuse that day by day breaks down humanity's spirit. If Vagabond Circus makes one skeptic believe in magic, then they halt the cycle, just a little bit. They allow a little more love into this world. That's Dr. Dave Raydon's mission. And that's why this ringmaster recruits. That's why he directs. That's why he puts on a show that makes people question their beliefs. He wants the world to believe in magic once again.

Suspended Book 1 Vagabond Circus By Sarah Noffke
3/8/2017
75 Chapters of pure Gold.
Mrs Sarah Noffkey has created another winning series in her Dream Travelers world, each series is unique unto it’s self .We see crossover characters from her other series. The Dream Travelers world and character’s are complex and connected and brilliantly manufactured. Such a crossover is Dr. David Raydon, he gave up his Psychology practice and worldly belonging form the Institute to branch out on his own to create the Vagabond Circus and to search and save these precious children for orphanages and those found living in the streets unwanted and forgotten. Dr.David Raydon the kindest, most caring and nurturing dream traveler of all, wanted to bring true happiness to people. Remind them there was still magic in the world. To give them a break form the mundane and burdensome life. He felt if he could remind them of this, maybe… just maybe they would find the magic deep within themselves making life sweeter.
Mrs Noffkey is a brilliant Author, who grabs your attention and imagination immediately with her writing. She leads you with invisible strings attached to both your heart and your mind. She leads you into this amazing world where you feel vested in the outcome of her character’s some of which you love to hate, For instance in this series the one you love to hate is Charles Knight 7ft tall skinny man with a horrid dispersion, who manufactures dream traveler children to be his servants. He is cold, indifferent and heartless in his firm control and brutality over his manufactured children that are treated worse than livestock with much less and no affection. Charles is also Dave Rayden’s brother and the fist talent brought to the Vagabond Circus, he was later banned from the circuses for life.
Key Family of The Vagabond Circus. Each are Dream Travelers and had special talents.
Dr.Dave Rayon: Ringmaster .Titus: Creative Director Fanny Swedland: Healer & Nanny to the younger children. Children under her care The Jugglers Triplets age 15 Oliver, Sunshine age 4,Benjamen age10,Sebastion age11.
Acrobats :Jack, Jasmine, Zuma & New comer Finley.
Illusionist :Oliver
Triplet Juggler:Ages 15 Boy Haady, Sister Padmal (who was also Oliver’s assistant in his magic act)Boy.Nabhi.
Ian age 24 He enjoyed his job as a crew hand and he filled in for Zuma at her Fortune teller booth before the show, after the original act/story line was changed and her responsibility were greater and more time consuming. .
Charles Knight, Evil master mind that uses the children he has created to exploit their gifts and had them steel, murder and do his evil bidding.
This book is so much more than the ground work of the series.It is 75 chapters of pure gold that will have your head spinning at the halfway mark just in time for part two to bring you to your knees with grief.
Finley is new to the Vagabond circus, but he has come to protect the beloved ringmaster and to stop the nefarious plan to take his life. The threat is coming from within, one of the people he has taken under his wing and he trust is secretly working for Charles Knight. Will Finley succeed at his mission.
I filled ten pages in a little notebook with points I wanted to remember for the purpose of writing this review but I would run out of the allotted words allowed, long before I finished. So I will just say this is a must read book, so many twist and turns. Entertaining deep characters and a wonderful world to visit for awhile, one that sparks your imagination. Charters you will care deeply for and you will be privy to the secrets that are starting to leak out. Seeing how our character’s relate to each other is comical at times,
infuriating at others, all for the sake of self preservation and not wanting to letting the other characters see what their true feelings are.
. The ever changing circumstance of the cursed Vagabond circus is well worth your time and money. This is one of the few books that will stay with you long after the ending.You will want to know all of it's secrets.

I have really been in a circus theme lately (and am finding it hard to find more books with this theme). I was pleased with this book because I was not sure what to expect from it. I picked it up as part of a kindle daily deal and fell in love with it, I need more both from this series as well as Sarah Noffke. The cover is beautifully done and draws the reader into finding out more about the novel. The book starts off a little slow, but still pulls you in with someone lurking in the shadows. The book does end with a cliffhanger which left me almost screaming at the kindle screen.

I liked the dream traveler aspect of the story and wished this was utilized more, but I hope that it is in future novels. The characters themselves were interesting. I had a love/hate relationship with Findley, I wanted to like him so much but he was so mysterious even with his partner, Zuma whom I absolutely loved but could tell there is something more to her character that we haven't been introduced to yet. I am interested to see where Noffke takes Zuma's character. The phrases within this novel are what dreams are made of really, they are beautifully written and gives readers an insight to what's to come for example:

"Finley was a tornado, changing every second, beautiful and dangerous and unpredictable. But Zuma loved storms. Always had."

Does this tells us more about their relationship than we know? I get goosebumps re-reading lines I wrote down. It didn't seem like there was a dull moment, everything in the story lead up the suspenseful ending and revelations throughout the novel. Somethings can be predictable while other things are not like you know someone is out to get the circus but you don't know who (or what).

My hats off to Sarah for writing an excellent novel and leaving her audience craving more from her. I highly suggest this book to anyone who loves a good novel regardless of their normal genre

No, don't leave me stranded like that!!!! I reviewed the audiobook sent to me by the author and loved it. Intriguing, descriptive, interesting, well-written. But no resolution at the end!! A cliff-hanger!! Even before I was halfway through the story I went and purchased all three e-books in the trilogy, so I'm looking forward to reading the next two books to see how things turn out.

The first thing i have to say about this book is how utterly unique it is, i can honestly say i have never read anything even similar to this book, or similar to aspects within this book and that is a major plus in my book. I loved that everything about this book was a surprise! This book is a supernatural book but it also has huge aspects of a thriller and suspense novel. There are many questions answered within this book however they create more questions especially the longer that the book goes on and this keeps you hooked until the very last page.

I was so blown away by the storyline, i adored it! I loved reading about the circus and a circus without clowns or animals at that. I thought every aspect of this storyline was so clever especially the way that this book ends, it really does make you want to read on and find the answers to the unanswered questions! There is so much i want to rave about this storyline but don't want to give anything away to the future readers of this book, which i highly recommend.

I loved how unique each character is in this book, the story doesn't just focus on one or two people, it focuses on the whole group making you intrigued about everyone you encounter. There are ,any hidden depths to each character, giving you questions in your mind about them, their pasts and what makes them who they are and what motivates them. You feel the care that has gone into creating each and every character by the author, this definitely comes through in the words of this book.

I was unbelievably impressed with the skill of this author, she is super talented at creating a vibrant and unknown world by the way that she writes, from the first page you are drawn into this world from her imagination as if you are there with them and i adored that. I can't recommend this book highly enough!!!

Suspended is full of suspense!

Sarah does a brilliant job of hinting at the main plot, of dropping little seeds here and there to intrigue the reader without giving anything away. We get to know the characters, seeing a story build up about them and who they are. Snippets of information, just small,hints half-said, are littered throughout to build suspense in an intense way.
