Book description
I'm absolutely buzzing about Seanan McGuire's newest InCryptid book, Chaos Choreography, and I just can't wait to share it with you. Think of this as me leaping from the stage into a whirlwind of dance, danger, and the uncanny-all while the audiobook's narrator whisks us along with a voice that feels like a warm, familiar tap of a dancer's heels on polished wood.
Verity Price-yes, that same Verity who's been saving cryptids and twirling around the ballroom floor-has a new chapter in her life. She's back on the West Coast, her family's cryptozoology hustle pulsing beneath her fingertips. I've been following her adventures for years, and this time, she's juggling rescuing monsters, shielding them from ruthless hunters, and living on the edge of life and death. Her ex-Covenant partner, Dominic, is by her side-think of them as a duo of partners who can keep rhythm with both danger and romance.
The plot leaps forward when the producers of Dance or Die call her. This reality show, the one she almost won years ago, offers a golden ticket to the big time. The temptation is impossible to ignore, and the book dives right into a frantic, L.A. escape. I felt the tension like a drumbeat building to the final crescendo-Verity and Dominic sprinting into a world where the glamorous surface of reality TV masks a darker undercurrent.
And then, the shock: two contestants turn up dead. Suddenly, our heroine is no longer just dancing for applause; she's dancing to survive. She's forced to pull together an unlikely cast of allies-cryptids, ex-enemies, and even a handful of shady human figures. I could feel the stakes heightening with every chapter, the plot twisting like a perfect salsa move.
What I love most about the audiobook is how the narrator captures every beat. The pacing is just right-there's no rush, yet every scene lands like a well-executed pirouette. The voice modulates with the mood, delivering a whisper when secrets are exchanged and a louder, more urgent tone when the danger escalates. It feels like we're in the same room, watching Verity and Dominic navigate a glittering, perilous world.
I'm thrilled that McGuire keeps the humor sharp, even when the stakes are high. Her witty banter between characters feels like a quick, playful step that keeps the story from becoming too heavy. The world-building is vivid, with each cryptid described so vividly that I could almost see them stepping out of the pages-sly, strange, and entirely captivating.
In short, Chaos Choreography is a vibrant mix of dance, danger, and the delightfully absurd. It's a story that pulls you in with familiar characters and propels you into new, thrilling choreography. If you're a fan of fast-paced urban fantasy or just love a good mystery with a dash of supernatural, this audiobook is the soundtrack you've been waiting for. I'll be humming its rhythm long after the final note fades.
