Re-read of book #3 in the series. I was looking for something light and not too demanding, and this fit the bill. I started with 3, instead of trying to do a true re-read of the series, I feel like I remember enough of Verity’s books, but not as much as Alex.
I had actually picked up this series before October Daye, and I’m glad I did because I really enjoy Seanan McGuire’s writing, but I love the October Daye series. This is also fun, although this time I felt like I picked up on more of the tension between the Price family and the cryptids, even with Shelby. It’s not actually a happy book, but what I think McGuire does really well is show that it’s not about happiness, and instead focuses on moment of joy and levity, with a good dash of hope.
I might skip around in this series a bit more, instead of trying to read straight through.
