I'm not exactly sure how to review this book, because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. It took forever to get going, and didn't really get me hooked until about the last third or so of the book. I was seriously heading for a two star rating up until that point. I'm still unsure of the w...
Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire Book 1 of InCryptid Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night... and that's just the beginning. The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity—and humanity f...
This book didn´t work for me for the first 70% of it. The storytelling was too slow, there was no chemistry between Verity and her love interest (that´s my personal opinion), the ballroom dancing episode was weird and the actual threat had a very unthreatening feel to it (and don´t get me started on...
I've joined this party a little late. I didn't know about Seanan McGuire until I read the serious and pain-filled "Rosemary and Rue"a few months ago. "Discount Armageddon" is almost the mirror image of "Rosemary and Rue". It's fast, light and witty in a superficial denying-the-danger kind of way. ...
So, I finally finished. I really liked Verity, and, while other reviews thought her ballroom dancing hobby interfered with the story, I strongly disagree. After all her conditioning from her 'hobby' is what helped her through her ordeals. While this series jumps between her and her siblings, if I ge...

What if the snarky scientists studied them? Well, then you'd have this. It's actually a lot more complicated: Seanan McGuire creates a nice blend of monsters that you know, and her own species. The boogeymen are a known quantity to us, but what McGuire does with them is place them in a known f...
This is a fun ride with a great protagonist and a ton of fantastic characters. Religious mice, ballroom dancing, ass kicking, and nerding out in a blender on a bar in a strip club called Dave's Fish and Strips. This series has a lot of potential, and I look forward to reading more in it.
Verity Price’s family is not like many others. She grew up dodging her sister’s habit of booby-traps and ambushes and dealing with her grandmother’s regular visits into hell to find her grandfather. Oh and her cousin isn’t human. Her family has worked with monsters, protected humanity from them – ...
