Fun read. very entertaining and lighter than her excellent but often dark Toby Maguire series. I LOVE the Aeslin mice and their numerous religous obsrvances.

Exactly what I wanted and expected from an Urban Fantasy Girl power romp. Absolutely love the dialogue and the movie style action scenes. Corny as hell but exactly the right level. Took itself seriously for what it was but not so seriously it was ridiculous. Will definitely continue with the series.

Highly amusing, action-packed adventure, with a free-running, ass-kicking, ballroom dancing main character and the myriad and hilarious monsters she works with. Very pleasing series, and let's hear it for dancing as a martial art.

My Review Of

Discount Armageddon (InCryptid #1) by Seanan McGuire

This wonderful story takes place in an alternate reality where creatures rule and monsters are among us. The Covenant of St. George works hard to destroy these creatures and the Price family broke away from this secretive group generations ago. Verity Price is a cryptozooligist, the Price family are a family of cryptozoologists, who are tasked with the study and protection of these creatures. Verity Price is a tough as nails heroine and Dominic De Luca is part of the covenant that the Prices are hiding from because if the covenant finds the Prices they will kill them. The unlikely duo of Verity and Dominic pair up to find out why women cryptids are disappearing. After some blood , gore and dancing we find out that there may be a dragon in the underground sewers of NYC. The dragon princesses want their extinct boyfriend back, yes I said dragon princesses! Verity also lives with Aslin Mice who are very religious and live in a converted Barbie Dream-house in Verity's closet. I just loved these mice, they were hysterical and very enthusiastic. Verity lives in a semi-legal sublet and is cocktail waitress/ballroom dancer, can wear high heels and kick-ass all at the same time. Together Dominic and Verity find out who or what is behind the disappearances/slayings of the local female cryptids and the romance begins..... almost like Romeo and Juliet, after all he is a Covenant guy and she is a Price! I happily listened along while this duo slayed the bad monsters, danced and romanced. What a fun book this was for me. I am officially hooked on this series and author. I will be binge listening to this authors books for months to come.
