Pros

Discount armageddon is the first installment in author seanan mcguire's incryptid series. The world mcguire creates is a fascinating one. I have to say, i'm looking forward to where this series takes me next! Discount armageddon begins a new urban fan... Read More

Verity is a young woman who works in a burlesque/strip bar while pursuing her dream of professional ballroom dance. She is tasked with keeping manhattan safe for both cryptids and humans. I love the mix of scholarly information about cryptids mixed wi... Read More

This series is a little more dime store romance than say dresden files books, but the over the top shenanigans of the protagonist are self-aware. Easily as entertaining as sookie at her best, harry dresden on a good day, or any of you favorite charact... Read More

Rather than exhaustively telling you about the different characters, she tells you what you need to know and relies on you to pick up what an under-educated human might miss. The story takes the typical romeo and juliet trope in entirely new direction... Read More

Cons

It's not quite clear what verity's actually doing. Dominic is so boring that if i was in conversation with him i would be looking for an escape. The issue with the coven is not that it * cryptids, but that it killed cryptids indiscriminately.

I'm shocked that this book gets positive reviews. It was clearly researched in some areas but not at all in others. Sadly, the not-so-good stuff outnumbers the good stuff by a rather large margin. This book is just a waste of time, sadly.

Many creative ideas and great world building.

What all this description misses is the constant jokes she makes about her life.

She's an adrenaline junky who free-runs and parkours off buildings and enjoys free-fall in a way that makes my stomach hurt to ... Read More

Price

Being a price is also a career, and she juggles dancing, waiting table, and helping cryptids with difficulty.

Price’s are thought to have died off.

The prices are in conflict with the covenant of st.

Competitiveness

After dominic and verity put their issues behind them, and agree to work together, there is plenty of sizzle and we see a diffe... Read More

I have already read book # 2, and will most likely skip over books #3 & #4 to get back to verity, and then magic for nothing wh... Read More

The aeslin mice were a comic element that succeeded far more than jar jar binks or the ewoks.

I gather that we will meet other members of the price family later in the series.
