Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

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.
This is the sequel to last year’s I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me, which I adored! I wasn’t expecting a sequel at all – I Feed Her to the Beast worked perfectly as a standalone – but I’m definitely not complaining!
I didn’t think Laure was very monstrous in the first book – more not-nice, which isn’t the same thing at all – so I’m curious about whether she might be more monstrous in this one. It definitely sounds like she still needs time to heal and recover from the events of I Feed Her to the Beast, so I’m pretty sorry for her that this book is only set two months later!
It would be great if we got to learn more about the rivers and magic this time around, but honestly, I’m really just interested in spending time with Laure again. Genuinely one of my favourite MCs – and I badly want her to get her happy ending! SHE DESERVES IT, FIGHT ME.
If you’ve not heard of this series before, you’ve got until next month to get through the first book! I STRONGLY recommend it.
