Seanan McGuire
Seanan McGuire’s New York Times–bestselling and Hugo Award–nominated InCryptid series continues in this sixteenth exciting adventure, following the Price family as they struggle to protect the cryptological world around us.
Normal, adjective:
1. Confirming to an established standard; not sick or unlike oneself.
Abnormal, adjective:
1. Deviating from what is normal.
2. Of or pertaining to that which is irregular; in particular, behavior that deviates from norms of social propriety.
3. See also “weird.”
For James Smith—now James Price—normal was never going to be an option. The only son of a sorcerer who died before she could teach him how to use his abilities, he was miserable in the town of New Gravesend, Maine...at least until Antimony Price declared him her adopted brother and swept him off to a new life. Among the Prices, James stands out less for being a sorcerer, and more for his poor cryptid-wrangling and hand-to-hand combat skills.
Becoming a Price didn’t come with an instruction manual, and James is still trying to figure out how he fits in this chaotic new family. How can he be a good brother, son, and, maybe—given the looks he's been getting from the cute guy who owns his new favorite waffle truck—boyfriend? And how can he balance it all when poachers and poltergeists refuse to leave him alone, and when the old family mystery of what happened to Aunt Laura starts calling?
Maybe he should have stayed in New Gravesend after all.
Commentaires
Two-time finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Series
“The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book. Swift narrative, charm, great world-building...all the McGuire trademarks.” —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series
“McGuire has honed her craft over a decade-plus of writing, and if you call yourself a sci-fi or fantasy fan, yet haven’t picked her work up, you’re doing yourself a disservice.” —Culturess
"Deeply satisfying.... Fans will not be disappointed."—Publishers Weekly on Installment Immortality
“Highly entertaining…. A joyous romp that juggles action, magic, and romance to great effect.”—Publishers Weekly on Tricks for Free
“Kind of like taking a tour through a very deadly theme park made up of alternating parts awesome and terrifying. Come to think of it, that sums up this series quite nicely.” —Reactor, on Half-Off Ragnarok
“McGuire’s InCryptid series is one of the most reliably imaginative and well-told sci-fi series to be found.... McGuire’s heroine is a brave, resourceful and sarcastic delight, and her intrepid comrades are just the kind of supportive and snarky sidekicks she needs.” —RT Reviews
“While chock-full of quality worldbuilding, realistic characters, and a double helping of sass, at its core, Half-Off Ragnarok is a book about judging others according to stereotypes, how nurture can overcome nature, and the importance of family.” —Ranting Dragon
“The InCryptid series continues to be storytelling at its best. Tricks for Free sends us on a rollercoaster of emotions and thrills with its engaging plot and ever-expanding and fascinating world.” —All Things Urban Fantasy
“Imaginary Numbers is a stunning installment and one that every urban fantasy reader is sure to relish.” —Fresh Fiction
