Welcome to the Pre-Squee, a new weekly feature here at the Bookworms and at The Book Swarm. Some books, though they might not be coming out for a few months, need an early squee — we just can’t hold in our excitement about them! Sure, we’ll do full reviews closer to the release date but this feature gives us a chance to share a little bit of our love, whether it be for the story, cover, characters, or whatever. We’re quite flexible in our book love.
So today we Squee aboutÂ
Menagerie
series:Â Menagerie #1
Goodreads | Pre-Order : amazon
September 29th 2015 by MIRA
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a richly imagined, provocative new series set in the dark mythology of the Menagerie…
When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger’s Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah in her black swan burlesque costume is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she’s forced to “perform” in town after town.
But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other “attractions”—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she’ll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed.
Renowned author Rachel Vincent weaves an intoxicating blend of carnival magic and startling humanity in this intricately woven and powerful tale.
I love Rachel Vincent and ever since she finished her Adult Paranormal “Shifter” Series and then her “Unbound” Trilogy I was waiting for what she would be up next! And here it is, a Carnival themed Urban Fantasy ! YES! That sounds exciting and unique.. I can’t wait :))Â

I’m also super excited for Menagerie! I have to admit that the only one of Rachel Vincent’s series that I’ve completely finished is the Soul Screamers series but I do love the others 🙂

Zareena how did you find Books 5 onwards in the Soul Screamer series? I read up to book 4 and commenced book 5 but it was no longer holding my interest so I stopped reading it, was going to start it back up but there has just been so many books to read that I haven’t had the chance.

I loved them all 🙂 I think there may have been a slight slump (it was a long time ago) but the last book was definitely amazing 😀 You should pick them up again when you have the chance!

Thanks Zareena, will do. I did enjoy it but I read it one after the other so maybe it started getting a bit dull for me but after your recommendation I will give If I Die another go and go from there, thanks!
