This is the second book in the Menagerie series and I enjoyed it quite a bit. This is a very dark story, set in an alternate world where cryptids exist and are persecuted by the rest of humanity.

This story picks up where the first one left off. Delilah and crew are running their own Menagerie and dodging authorities by pretending certain members of their troupe are human. When they are discovered, many of their member are captured and sold into The Savage Spectacle.

This is definitely an adult book; there is quite a bit of abuse, torture, and sexual assault in here. I continued to enjoy all the different races of cryptids and was on pins and needles waiting to discover what would happen to our beloved characters.

The story was fast-paced, the characters were engaging, and the book is well written and easy to read. I enjoyed it a lot, I think this has been my favorite series from Vincent yet.

Overall a great addition to this series. This has been a well written alternate world paranormal urban fantasy about a world where the monsters aren't necessarily the real monsters. I would recommend to those who enjoy dark paranormal/urban fantasy reads. I definitely plan on continuing the series.
