Synopsis

This program is read by Grammy and Emmy Award-winning actor Kristolyn Lloyd

Monsters and mortals, rejoice! Acheron is back . . .

Though Laure has tried to close the lid on her ballet shoes and the feelings she once held for dance since the Palais Garnier incident two months ago, Laure is spinning out. Between partying, drinking, and avoiding anything and, well, everyone, she has no time to be anything but a monster. But when Laure stumbles across a mysterious dead body during one of her nights out, she’s forced to notice the cracks stretching beyond herself.

Below the streets of Paris, Elysium is dying, and Acheron and Lethe’s influence is spilling into the streets like a blight. Laure isn’t the only of Elysium’s beasts to rise from the ruins of Palais Garnier, and someone is mobilizing an army of monsters with plans greater than Laure, Andor, and Keturah could have ever guessed. While Laure is warring between her wants and Acheron’s ever-demanding appetite, she and her circle of monsters are left to reckon with a not-so-simple question: how do you save yourself from oblivion?

Jamison Shea's sharp and unflinching voice will bring readers to terrifying new heights in this vicious sequel to the "relentlessly gory and almost euphoric in its embrace of the horrific" (NPR) I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company Books for Young Readers

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on October 06, 2024

3.5 stars rounded up I Feed Her to the Beast was really excellent YA horror following a Black ballerina in Paris who makes a deal with an eldritch god in a river of blood. But it has an ending that I think works as a standalone, so I wasn't sure what to expect from this followup. I liked it okay and......more

Goodreads review by Mallory on November 17, 2024

I listened to the audiobook for this one and I thought the narrator did a great job. This book takes place a couple of months after the last book left off and it was also full of wonderful horror. I liked getting to see further into some of our side characters and new characters were introduced. Lau......more

TBR Thoughts I did not realize I Feed Her to the Beast was getting a sequel. Hell yeah! Preread Thoughts *incoherent screaming* Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the audio ARC! I was going to reread the first book before jumping into the sequel, but my library doesn't have the audiobook. Here......more

Goodreads review by Gabbie on October 04, 2024

Even as the scope keeps expanding to cosmic levels, this story feels so personal and the internal conflicts of girlhood feel more pressing than threats against our world and the one beyond. I had loved the first book in the series already, but this one was just short of sublime. Jamison Shea is one......more

Goodreads review by KMart on November 17, 2024

This is a haunting, visceral conclusion to a duology that masterfully weaves horror with social commentary. With their signature poetic prose, Shea transforms terror into something both beautiful and deeply unsettling, making this book an unforgettable journey into the monstrous and the human alike.......more
