Me? I’d be a Sleeping Beauty. 1000 years of sleep sounds fantastic.

Not yet able to get my hands on Night and Silence but jonesing for more Seanan McGuire, I plumped for Indexing, a book that appears to have initially been written in serialised form in which fairytales meet the X-Files. In a world where fairytales are constantly trying to force their way into real life, twisting people’s lives into forms that fit the narrative with often deadly results, it’s up to the ATI Management Bureau to step in before the ‘mimetic incursions’ can run amok.

Snow White Trades in Woodland Creatures for a Badge

April 17, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Being caught up on all the InCryptid novels and the short stories/novellas that are available for free (there are a few more in collections I don’t feel like paying for yet), I continued down the Seanan McGuire rabbit hole to this novel.  While it didn’t grip me as quickly as the InCryptid series, I enjoyed the concept, and ended up having fun once I got used to the characters and the team. This was originally written as a Kindle Serial, and while it is now […]
