IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR

Cryptid, noun:
1. Any creature whose existence has been suggested but not proven scientifically. Term officially coined by cryptozoologist John E. Wall in 1983.

2. That thing that's getting ready to eat your head.

3. See also: "monster."

The Covenant of St. George was founded to uphold one simple ideal: anything that was not present on the Ark—anything they deemed "unnatural"—needed to be destroyed. Monsters. Creatures of myth and legend. All of them would be wiped from the Earth in the name of Man's dominion. Unfortunately for them, not all the monsters agreed with this plan...and neither did all the human beings.

After their rather abrupt departure from the Covenant, Alexander and Enid Healy found themselves alone in the world, but with a simple mission of their own: to protect the cryptids of the world from those who would harm them without just cause. It was a cause that would eventually claim both their lives, leaving their children, and their childrens' children, to take up the fight. Now in the modern day, their descendants struggle to stay beneath the Covenant's radar, while defending the cryptids from humanity—and humanity from the cryptids.

This series actually has a series of short stories about the Healys and Prices on her website http://seananmcguire.com/icshorts.php



The books in the series are:

I started on the Tobey series then tried out the Incryptid series. While I truly enjoy Tobey, I LOVED the Incryptid. I can't wait for Verity's brother's story next. The mice! Oh the mice are the greatest!

I stared Discount Armageddon like twice and both times I could not get into it. The the third time I decided I was going to make it to page 75 and if I was not into it then forget it.

Maybe it was a timing thing or maybe I wanted it to be more like the October Daye series but in the end I really enjoyed it. Very different from other UF books I have read.

I think that my favorite part of this series is the mice. For some reason they make me laugh and wish that I had some of my own.

I also really like how Verity rails against her family and wants to just dance.

I love the mice.

Heil to Day-of-the-festival-of-kissing-the-first-man-that-enters-the-room!

I will probably read this month.

Love the mice and their special calender!

I'm a couple of chapters into Discount Armageddon...it's pretty good so far!
