My love for Seanan McGuire continues

Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’m slowly working my way through Seanan McGuire’s body of work. Her books are exactly the kind of urban fantasy I love. She has a way of writing witty heroines who put their lives on the line for others. I decided to put the InCryptid series into the rotation. I bought the first book on audiobook on sale ages ago. I also have been desperate to read novels I already own. It was a win-win. Discount Armageddon introduces us to Verity Price. She comes from a long […]

Bring on the Summer Junk Reading

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

June 20, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader 8 Comments

Yay for fun summer junk reading on this the first day of actual summer! And it’s book 1 of a series! Discount Armageddon is in many ways a traditional urban fantasy on the lighter side: Verity Price comes from a family of cryptid studiers (not a real word I know but they are not strictly observers, nor strictly hunters, nor purely helpers), but what she really wants to do with her life is become a professional ballroom dancer in New York City. She balances both […]

And This is Why You Don’t Make Deals at the Crossroads

That Ain't Witchcraft by Seanan McGuire

August 26, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

The Crossroads have long played a background role in the InCryptid series.  Grandfather Thomas appears to have had a deal with them (or it?), and their Aunt Mary is one of the ghosts that works for the Crossroads though her relationship with the Prices has let her hold on to her humanity.  She also always warns her extended Price family to stay away from them, very well aware of how easily the deals can turn against the humans desperate enough to make them. The Prices […]

What Rose Marshall Is Up to When She’s Not Playing a Price Aunt

Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire

August 24, 2019 by Jen K Leave a Comment

While I was introduced to Rose as one of the ghost aunts to the Price family in the InCryptid series, based on the introduction and afterword of this collection, Seanan McGuire has been writing about Rose Marshall, a hitchhiker ghost, for much longer, and only later decided to include her in as part of the extended family. Rose slipped into InCryptid so seamlessly that I didn’t even realize until reading this that she wasn’t added until later since her and Mary aren’t exactly friendly initially. […]

Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free

Chaos Choreography by Seanan McGuire

June 22, 2018 by Malin 3 Comments

Verity and Dominic have left New York, and got married in Vegas while travelling with Verity’s stuff cross-country. Verity has given up on her alter ego Valerie Pryor and her career in ballroom dancing and is fully committed to cryptozoology with her new husband and the rest of her family. Then she gets a call from the producer of “Dance or Die”, the reality show that she came runner up in a few years ago and she’s asked to return for a “former contestants” edition. […]
