Chaos Choreography - Book Review


Chaos Choreography (InCryptid #5)
by Seanan McGuire


What is it about:
Destiny, Noun:
1. The inevitable or irresistible course of events.
2. The inescapable future.
3. See also "Screwed."

Verity Price is back on the West Coast and getting back into the swing of the family business: cryptozoology. She's rescuing cryptids from bad situations, protecting them from monster-hunters, and generally risking life and limb for the greater good, with her ex-Covenant partner/husband, Dominic, by her side. Her ballroom dance career is behind her...or so she thinks.

When Verity gets the call from the producers of Dance or Die, the reality show she almost won several years before, she finds the lure of a comeback impossible to resist, and she and Dominic are off to L.A. for one last shot at the big time.

Of course, nothing is that simple. When two of her fellow contestants turn up dead, Verity will need every ally she can find--and a couple she wasn't looking for--in order to navigate the complicated steps of both the tango and a murder investigation without blowing her cover. It doesn't help that her official family backup is her grandmother, Alice Price-Healy, who thinks "subtle" is something that happens to other people.

Winning this competition may have just become a matter of life and death.


What did I think of it:
This is my favorite of the books in this series so far!

Verity is returning to the stage to find out once and for all if she made the right choice in giving up her dancing for cryptozoology. She didn't expect things to get quite so dicey though, and soon she's dancing for her life.

I love Verity and Dominic and was hooked from the start. Some really cool other characters got added to the action, grandmother Alice not even being the coolest in my opinion - and she is an awesome lady, I can tell you. The mice are also once again present, and I rooted for them to help save the day.

All in all this book is fun, action-packed, and suspenseful. I did have some suspicions as to who or what was behind it all, but there were some surprises along the way. The ending was totally awesome and promises lots more cool action and adventures for the Price family. You bet i'll get my trotters on the the next book soon.

Why should you read it:
It's a fun and very entertaining UF read.
