Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:The third book in New York Times-bestselling Seanan McGuire's witty urban fantasy InCryptid series about a family of cryptozoologists who act as a buffer between humans and the magical creatures living in secret around us.

"The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book." —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Sookie Stackhouse series
Cryptid, noun: Any creature whose existence has not yet been proven by science. See also "monster."
Cryptozoologist, noun: Any person who thinks hunting for cryptids is a good idea. See also "idiot."
What do gorgons, basilisks, and frogs with feathers all have in common? They're all considered mythological by modern science, and some people are working very hard to keep them that way.
Alexander Price is a member of a cryptozoological lineage that spans generations, and it's his job to act as a buffer between the human and cryptid worlds—not an easy task when you're dealing with women who has snakes in place of hair, little girls who may actually be cobras, and brilliant, beautiful Australian zookeepers. And then there's the matter of the murders...
Alex thought he was choosing the easier career when he decided to specialize in non-urban cryptids, leaving the cities to his little sister, Verity. He had no idea what he was letting himself in for. It's a family affair, and everyone—from his reanimated grandfather to his slightly broken telepathic cousin—is going to find themselves drawn in before things get any better.

Interestingly I found the first two books of this series full of urban fantasy cliches and yet I preferred them to this one. As a character, I think Verity is a stronger one. Alex wasn't bad but Verity's story is much more aggressive. She went out and got to it. I felt this book was a little more passive. Stuff just kept happening to the characters. Therefore my preference for the first two books. Having said that, I still enjoyed this book. Nice quick popcorn read. Sometimes my brain just needs those. ( )

An alright book,

Not up to what I have come to expect from this series. The majority of the story formed a fair little murder mystery.
I felt the plot fell through though, especially when comparing it to earlier works.

I wasn't sure if I would like Alex. It ends up I like his snarky commentary and nerdy-ness. I really like Shelby. ( )

Entertaining. A bit fluffy but kept moving along. I like this series better than the Wayward Children. ( )

This was different from the first two books in the series, and while I missed Verity, I was still happy to learn more about the Price family. Though, Alex was boring compared to this more flamboyant sister.

I did end up liking the book, but I found myself skimming parts and wishing the plot would get a move on. There were parts that were info-dumps in order to acclimate the reader to this new non-sentient cryptid world. (Which, I did appreciate since I had wondered about that during Verity's books.)

However, I really liked Shelby once she had character development beyond Alex's clueless girlfriend. And I loved seeing more of the gorgon community. (Verity and Dominic's cameo seemed needlessly shoehorned in, though.)

It was great seeing Sarah again, particularly since last we saw her she wasn't in a very good place. I really want to know more about cuckoos, and it seems like Alex's books may give me that given Grandma Angela is one too. ( )
