Chaos Choreography (InCryptid Book 5)

<b>The fifth book in <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling Seanan McGuire's witty urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in secret around us.<br /></b><br />"The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book." —<b>Charlaine Harris</b>, #1 <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series<br /><br /><b>Destiny, Noun: <br /></b><br />   1. The inevitable or irresistible course of events.<br />   2. The inescapable future.<br />   3. See also “Screwed.”<br /><br />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. <br /><br />When Verity gets the call from the producers of <i>Dance or Die</i>, 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.<br />  <br /> 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.<br /><br />Winning this competition may have just become a matter of life and death.
