And Verity is back! Dominic and Verity have completed their cross-country road trip after leaving Manhattan to avoid any further Covenant activity with time for a quickie wedding stop in Vegas, and are back at Verity’s family compound in Oregon. They aren’t home for long before Verity gets an email from the producer of Dance or Die, the reality TV competition she participated in, and upon calling, she is invited back for reunion season that would involve the top 4 from the first five seasons.

Monsters in a Land Down Under
Overall, I would say this one is probably my least favorite of the InCryptid series so far but is still an entertaining ride. Sometimes when an author does novels from different perspectives, it’s hard not to treat the first narrator as a favorite, even if the other characters are also interesting (definitely had that issue with Women of the Otherworld and Elena, though Eve and Jaime Vegas both gave her a good run for her money – unfortunately Jamie only got the one perspective novel). […]
Sadly, Thor Does Not Make An Appearance
I’m not sure who is deciding on the titles for these novels, but I was incredibly disappointed that this one didn’t involve creatures from Norse mythology given the use of the word Ragnarok! I know there are some giant snakes in Norse mythology but the ones in this book all seem to be of Greek origin. In this novel, McGuire shifts focus from Verity Price to her older brother Alex, who is running a hidden basilisk breeding program at a zoo in Columbus, Ohio. Up […]
I wanted to like it …
I didn’t read this one immediately after downloading it, so when the novel didn’t initially click for me, I blamed myself for forgetting that the main character was 12.

Things Are About to Get Serious
The second book of the InCryptid series takes place about six months after Discount Armageddon, and this review will include spoilers for the previous novel. Verity and Dominic are in an undefined relationship but she is still a Price and he is still Covenant so neither wants to discuss what is going on. While Dominic has kept her identity secret and neglected to tell the Covenant about the male dragon under Manhattan, he has still been a member of monster hunting society since birth. He […]
Finally Fantastic Art
Final Fantasy XV was a video game that was almost a decade in the making. Initially planned by Square as Final Fantasy Versus XIII back in 2007/2008 over time it was adapted and reworked to become the first game in the long running series for the new generation of consoles in 2016. As with any game in this series it had it’s fans and those who hate it because it changed everything again. People should really get to used to that as no two games […]
