Book description
Tam's quiet life shatters with a murder. Her aunt's body, skinned. A fox in a shoebox. Old enemies. And a girl she's falling for-maybe the same girl who broke her heart years ago.
This isn't just a book. It's an audiobook that lives. The narrator's voice-soft, sharp, utterly real-carries Tam's internal war: I'm vegan now. I'm not that monster. But the blood's in her bones. The worldbuilding? Chinese folklore meets Siksiká Nation wisdom, woven into a city where gods run coffee shops and tentacled things stalk the streets. It's familiar, yet startlingly new.
The romance? Sweet as maple syrup, but never saccharine. It's messy, real, built on stolen glances and shared history. You hear the hesitation in Tam's voice when she admits her feelings. You feel the weight of the past in every pause.
The audiobook makes the gory bits matter. Not for shock, but for Tam's reckoning. She's not just fighting demons. She's fighting the monster she was-and the monster she might become. The question isn't just can she survive? It's does she deserve to?
And that's the genius. The audiobook doesn't just tell you Tam's story. It lets you hear her doubt, her quiet courage, the way her voice cracks when she says, "I didn't mean to hurt them." The sound design-city hums, distant whispers, the quiet thump of a fox tail against cardboard-pulls you right into her world.
You'll hear the mythos in the way the narrator says "Siksiká" or "jinn." You'll feel the tension in the pauses before Tam says something dangerous. This isn't just listening. It's being there.
It's for anyone who loves Seanan McGuire's wit or Ben Aaronovitch's grounded magic. But it's also something fresh. The LGBTQIA+ representation isn't a plot point-it's just life, lived fully. The sapphic romance? It's the heart of the story, not a side note.
Tam's journey isn't about becoming human. It's about finding peace with what she is. And the audiobook makes that journey intimate, urgent, and utterly unforgettable. You won't just hear the end of the world. You'll feel Tam's quiet hope as she asks: What if monsters get happy endings too? The answer, delivered in that perfect, understated voice? It's already waiting for you. Just hit play.
