One Hell of a Ride by Seanan McGuire

3.0

I'm a big fan of Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series, so while I impatiently wait for the third book, I decided to check out some of the short fiction. One Hell of a Ride continues the focus on family by going back a couple generations in the Price/Healy family tree. The focus here is on Jonathan Healy who finds himself on a train ride to hell, and has to find a way to survive with the help of the beautiful spitfire Frances Brown. The story, which can be found for free on McGuire's website, is a short fun ride that shows us a glimpse Verity and Alex's ancestors. If I had one complaint it's that the ending is abrupt and anti climatic, but for a free story, it's certainly worth your time. I will be reading more InCryptid shorts in the future.
