In this second book in the InCrypid series, Verity is still in Manhattan. However, she learns that the Covenant is planning a purge of the city. The Covenant is a group of extremists who don’t believe this world belongs to any sentient creatures other than humans. They kill off any other creatures they come across. […]
I haven’t read much from Seanan McGuire under this pen name, but I’ve read everything she’s written under the Mira Grant pen name. Grant is a horror writer. I knew McGuire was not as dark of a writer as Grant, but I wasn’t expecting the humor I got in this story. This is a bit […]
Tidal Creatures is the third book in the Alchemical Journeys series and needs to be read in order to make any sense. Seanan McGuire focuses on the the lore of the moon and all the gods who have incarnated into this world in Tidal Creatures. People are chosen to take on aspects of different moon […]
Aftermarket Afterlife is the thirteenth book in the Incryptid series and I’d like to say it was lucky number thirteen but I struggled to finish it. I will say I have read so many of Seanan McGuire’s books and short stories (somewhere in the realm of 60ish stories) and usually they are a great read for […]
Mislaid in Parts Half-Known is the ninth book in the Wayward Children series. This is a series that follows different characters each book, of children who do not fit into this world we live in quite right, and sometimes find doors to other worlds/realms where they really belong. While normally I would say you could […]
The Innocent Sleep is the 18th book in the October Daye series. Told from Tybalt’s PoV, we get to experience the events in the same timeline as book 17 from the other group of characters working to free those captured in Titania’s illusion. While the shift in PoV took a little time to become accustomed […]
Sleep No More is the seventeenth novel in the October Daye series and it is a trip. This is a well established series and you will need to read all the books in order to understand most of the storyline in this one. Titania is back with a vengeance and she might not be able […]
I’m a huge Mira Grant fan. I’ve read almost all of her work under that pen name. I haven’t read as much as Seanan McGuire, but I’ve read some. I grabbed this one from the library before going on vacation. It is often the only time I read books, as opposed to listening to them. […]
I really enjoy an anthology like Instinct Anthology. It provides stories from known authors with more depth on supporting characters or further development of characters or the world. I also get to try authors / series I haven’t before. While some shorts feel underdeveloped or unfinished, a well-written short story is a delight. On the […]
Backpacking through Bedlam is the 12th book the Incryptid series, unless you are reading all the short stories as well, then I think it is closer to triple digits. You should read the entire series in order to really understand everything happening in this book, at minimum you will need to have read Spelunking Through Hell, […]
