Welcome to Litsy!

When Australia is hit with sudden werewolves, Alex & Shelby fly to help the conservationist society in charge of Australia‘s supernatural. It‘s good things won‘t be complicated by Alex dating the leader‘s daughter. Oh wait.

I really love Alex‘s sense of humor & the exploration of a new part of the world with different creatures. Some interesting interpersonal conflict + a bigger mystery that kept me guessing. Excited for the next one! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I love this InCrypyid series by Seanan McGuire. The books are centered around the Price family who study and protect oft misunderstood cryptid (non human) species from humans and vice versa. The humor/sarcasm, the Price family members and all the supporting characters are outstanding. This book takes place in Australia which is experiencing an outbreak of lycanthropy.

“All right. Take me to the oubliette.”
“It‘s not an oubliette,” she said. “There‘s cable.”

Lunch break car reading. I‘m wearing a skirt because we went river tubing this weekend, which is SO fun but also always seems to equal terrible sunburn. You‘d think I‘d learn my lesson and reapply sunscreen more often eventually.... This is such a fun vacation read, I enjoyed it by the pool in Vermont but didn‘t get a picture.

I landed myself in the ER today by inciting panic with an innocent question at a doctor's office about an ulcer. This is why I avoid doctor's visits.

The series-within-a-series-standalone-not-standalone nature of the Incryptid novels can be a LITTLE difficult to explain when recommending this fantastic Steve-Irwin-Meets-Everything-That-Goes-Bump-In-The-Night series (and this novel in particular) but it is worth it if you can get another reader hooked on the rush of Aeslin mice and covert conservational shenanigans.

I'm only four chapters in, but am so far impressed with the handling of Australian elements. So far the only implausible thing have been the names.

Truth.
