An enjoyable book, but it took me a while to get into it.

Druhý díl série InCryptid, mě moc mile překvapil. Děj nabral spád a nechyběly ani nějaké ty zvraty, příběh byl čtivý, a díky tomu, že k seznámení s fungováním světa kryptidů došlo již v v předchozí knize, zůstalo tentokrát mnohem více prostoru pro akci. Pokud jsem první knize vytýkala neustálé omílání vytoužené profese hlavní postavy a její popisy, v tomto díle došlo k jejich významnému omezení, díky čemuž je z ní příjemně čtivá a místy i docela zábavná, oddechovka. Já jsem naprosto spokojená.
Navíc svět kryptidů a druhy jako takové, mě velice zaujaly, tudíž mám v plánu si dočíst i povídky, které celou sérii doplňují.

All I can say is Wow. We really have to clone Seanan McGuire--I need more books.
This was so good that I want to start the series again--but there are only two. Guess I'll go re-read the just as good October Daye series.
Sigh. Why do I finish these good ones so fast, but am draaaaaging thru the morass of teenaged angst in the starting to get yucky Beautiful Creatures series? I need some old-fashioned, high-magic fantasy to take me away...

This is the second book in Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series.
This is a book to read when you just want to have fun with urban fantasy. You can tell that these books are written by an author that loves mythology and supernatural stories — and then wanted to play with those ideas in a modern setting. This is a book for people who think reading can be, and should be, fun.
The protagonist runs around the city — like Spiderman without the webs. And is torn between professional ballroom dancing and protecting Cryptid as by fighting off the monster-hunters. Thoughtful and playful.

So much fun. I just adore this series--the Aeslin mice, the snark, the relationships--great humor, a rollicking plot, and a protagonist I can't help but love.

Another terrifically fun installment in the silly, exciting, and yes, suspenseful InCryptid series.
