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 […]
Paranormal fantasy that should appeal to Supernatural fans
From Goodreads, because I’m really far behind on my reviews, and it’s a good summary of the book: Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night…the Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity – and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she’d rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in […]
A more melancholy entry in the Wayward Children series.
Down Among the Sticks and Bones is the second novella in Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. The first, Every Heart a Doorway, took me utterly by surprise when I first read it, and I loved it.

Jack and Jill while only side characters in the original, had potentially one of the more intriguing backstories, and I was quite excited to […]

When Annie arrives in Lowryland, she honestly expects to be fully on her own for the first time in her life, having even sent her Aeslin mice companions, Mindy and Mork of the Lost Colony, to Oregon. Luckily, once she’s hired and in […]
When You’re Expecting The Skulls but get Carnivale
After five novels, Antimony “Annie” Price, the youngest Price sibling finally gets to say her piece. While her older siblings see Antimony as the trap and ambush setting younger sister who has been hanging out at home post high school and playing roller derby, Annie has a rather different view. She is the good, loyal daughter while Verity craves the spotlight, and as a result got them into their current mess: after battling a snake summoned from an alternate dimension on live TV and revealing […]
