Book description
Hazel Nix has spent eight years living in the spotlight of The Company of Fiends, a theater troupe of performers who are... well, not quite human. But the magic is fading. For Hazel, a girl with a secret even her monstrous peers don't know, the stage is starting to feel like a cage. She's tired of pretending, tired of fleeting connections, and ready to take her final bow. Then, a mysterious new patron appears, just as disaster strikes the theater: girls vanish, misfortune stalks the stage, and Hazel's tangled heart faces a storm of ex-lovers, current flames, and dangerous new faces.
This isn't just a fantasy romance-it's a spellbinding audiobook that pulls you deep into the heart of a world where the stage is both sanctuary and trap. The narrator's voice? Pure gold. You hear the exhaustion in Hazel's sighs, the flicker of hope when she meets the new patron, and the rising panic as the mystery tightens. You feel the creak of the theater floor, the hushed whispers backstage, the weight of secrets held too long. The pacing is perfect, weaving the creeping dread of the missing girls with the slow-burn tension of Hazel's relationships, making every moment feel urgent and real.
What makes The Company of Fiends so special in audio form is how it makes you feel Hazel's loneliness and her fierce, hard-won belonging. You don't just read about her choosing between walking away or fighting for the found family in this strange, vibrant theater-you hear the battle within her. The supporting characters, from the ex-lovers to the enigmatic new faces, come alive with distinct, compelling voices that add layers of intrigue. You'll find yourself leaning in, not just to solve the mystery, but to understand why Hazel can't just leave the place that's become her only true home.
It's a story about the messy, beautiful, terrifying act of belonging-where the most monstrous things often hide the most human hearts. The audiobook doesn't just tell you Hazel's story; it makes you feel the echo of the stage's heartbeat in your own chest. Don't just read this book; let it envelop you. It's the kind of listen that stays with you long after the final curtain call, making you wonder: What would I choose?
