Spectacle

De: Rachel Vincent

Narrado por: Gabra Zackman

In this riveting sequel to New York Times best-selling author Rachel Vincent's acclaimed novel Menagerie, Delilah Marlow will discover that there is no crueler cage than the confines of the human mind.

When their coup of Metzger's Menagerie is discovered, Delilah and her fellow cryptids find their newly won freedom brutally stripped away as they are sold into The Savage Spectacle, a private collection of "exotic wildlife". Specializing in ruthless cryptid cage matches, safari-style creature hunts, and living party favors, the Spectacle's owner, Willem Vandekamp, caters to the forbidden fetishes of the wealthy and powerful. At the Spectacle any wish can be granted - for the right price.

But Vandekamp's closely guarded client list isn't the only secret being kept at the Spectacle. Beneath the beauty and brutality of life in the collection lie much darker truths, and no one is more determined than Delilah to strip the masks from the human monsters and drag all dark things into the light.

No spoilers!

OH MY GODESS!! This book lived up to the first one and more!
My heart is still pounding in my chest! The way Vincent writes is so consuming it makes u feel as the characters do, rage, pain, love and bloodlust. I have never wanted revenge on a character more than Joffery from Game of Thrones, or Umbridge of Harry Potter until now.
I can't wait until the next book is released!

book 2 did not dissapoint

The first book hooked me on the series. This one made me go straight to the 3rd.

Too much like the first

Menagerie was a great book and ended in a way that looked like the second was going to be different and possibly ever better. Sadly *small spoiler* by the end of the first chapter, it becomes very much the same book as the first. The plot is not identical, but the situation is nearly the same... but missing much of the character interaction and development that made the first book a great listen. I would give the book a three, but once again it ended in such a way that the next book could be new and refreshing.

As good as the first

I loved Menagerie and nearly didn't purchase this second book based on a few negative reviews. I am very glad I did. I did not think it was too similar to the first book. It took the story further, showed you an alternative to the circus life of cryptids, and gave us greater insights into the characters we met in the first book. As with all good books I found myself making excuses to listen and completed the book in just two days. I now can't wait to listen to the final book in the series.

Best of the trio

This was my favorite book in the series. It was harsh and emotional, but seeing the characters deal with their situation was very satisfying.

Loving this series

Perfection in the horror, fantasy genre! Excellent story telling, narration and execution. Reminds me of early American Horror Story which I was so into. Can't wait to start the third.

great series

this is a great series so I suggest starting with Menagerie before this one. I love the series but this was my least favorite of the three books. Not that it's bad. I just didn't realize some of the details would be needed for book three so at points I was confused. Its worth pushing through for the entire story and all three books were worth the price.

Very enjoyable!

I’ve listened to the first 2 books in this series and I’m dying to get to the 3rd. My only critique is that the endings feel quite rushed, but I hope that resolves with the 3rd book.

cryptids

This was another excellent read, and i am looking forward to the next in the series coming out.
i did find it very difficult to read due to the levels of degradation and humiliation these people suffered but it again goes to show what a great writer Rachel Vincent is.
Definitely worth the credit!!

Just as good as the first!

So good! I loved it every bit as much as the first. I'm already anxious for book three!
