Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a richly imagined, provocative new series set in the dark mythology of the Menagerie…
When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger's Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah in her black swan burlesque costume is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she's forced to "perform" in town after town.
But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other "attractions"—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she'll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed.
Renowned author Rachel Vincent weaves an intoxicating blend of carnival magic and startling humanity in this intricately woven and powerful tale.

What I'm Looking Forward to Most
Saying that I'm a Rachel Vincent fan, is a massive understatement! If she wrote it, I've read it multiple times. She was the first author that got me into the urban fantasy genre. She tends to write outside the box, when it comes to these kinds of books. She doesn't follow the rules or wright about what is currently in style. Her world building skills are beyond fantastic! She writes deep characters, with extremely smart dialogue. I cannot wait to pick up MENAGERIE! It seems to have a very interesting storyline. Nothing like I have ever seen, in this genre. I'm sure it will keep me on the edge of my seat. Plus, the narrator involved with this audiobook is spectacular. I cannot wait to see what Rachel Vincent has up her sleeve for us this time!!!
