Book 169 towards my goal of 290! 4.5/5 stars for this adult fantasy reread! This is a darker fantasy. A young woman discovers that she's not exactly 100% human while visiting a cryptid menagerie. She is then sold into said show, while appearing perfectly human. She's treated like the rest of the "entertainment" as far as food, hygiene, and comfort go. There are definitely some trigger warnings for this one so be sure to check those out if you need to. Love the cover. Love the story. Narration is a bit quiet, but still enjoyable! Highly recommend!
