Overview
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.

Reviews
✰""This bold and bloody coming-of-age story is an enthralling page-turner."" - Kirkus Reviews, starred review Praise for I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me: ""Gory, gripping, and visceral; examines how supernatural and systemic power unleash the monster within all of us."" - Kirkus Reviews ""hile the scares are grisly, Shea skillfully uses them to reveal hard truths surrounding institutions that capitalize on exclusion, and to depict the lengths one teen goes for acceptance and recognition."" - Publishers Weekly ""A charged series starter, drenched in gore, that uses horror to interrogate the brutalities of a calcified institution and its impact on real lives. Horror and ballet fans alike will find much to love."" - Booklist
