Menagerie by Rachel Vincent

Delilah Marlowe is living an ordinary, if boring, life. Then, for her birthday her boyfriend buys tickets to the most spectacular menagerie traveling show. This menagerie is comprised not of ordinary animals, but human shifters, nymphs and other fae folk, and even a minotaur. Seeing the poor treatment of one teenage wolf shifter, Delilah morphs into an unknown, terrifying creature. Stripped of her human rights, Delilah is sold to the menagerie and has to adapt to living caged and putting up with abuse from the humans who run the show. But not all the crew members are as they seem, and one might just give Delilah the chance she needs to break free.

Fantasy readers will rejoice in the wide variety of fantastic folk not seen in other urban fantasy series. Violent treatment toward Delilah and her fellow captives will have readers rallying behind her efforts to get free. The suspense builds quickly and doesn't let up for the entire read, even the ending will have readers wanting to move on immediately to the next in the "Menagerie" series, Spectacle, out now. Perfect for fans of darker urban fantasy stories.
