Ilustration Toward Books Pocket Apocalypse (InCryptid #4)
Endangered, adjective: Threatened with extinction or immediate harm.Australia, noun: A good place to become endangered.
Alexander Price has survived gorgons, basilisks, and his own family—no small feat, considering that his family includes two telepaths, a reanimated corpse, and a colony of talking, pantheistic mice. Still, he’s starting to feel like he’s got the hang of things…at least until his girlfriend, Shelby Tanner, shows up asking pointed questions about werewolves and the state of his passport. From there, it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to Australia, a continent filled with new challenges, new dangers, and yes, rival cryptozoologists who don’t like their “visiting expert” very much.
Australia is a cryptozoologist’s dream, filled with unique species and unique challenges. Unfortunately, it’s also filled with Shelby’s family, who aren’t delighted by the length of her stay in America. And then there are the werewolves to consider: infected killing machines who would like nothing more than to claim the continent as their own. The continent which currently includes Alex.
Survival is hard enough when you’re on familiar ground. Alex Price is very far from home, but there’s one thing he knows for sure: he’s not going down without a fight.

*** 4.25 ***A buddy read with my UF cohorts at BB&B! We love our Aeslin Mice!!! "..."Adversity doesn't exist to make us stronger. Adversity exists because this world is a damn hard place to live. Prove that you're better than the things it throws at you. Live...." Our little buddy reading group have all decided that we need our own, designated colony of Aeslin Mice, since it turns out they have stolen all of our hearts. And how can anyone resist their charm and stature, no matter howWhat a rollercoaster! I couldn't put this one down. I really love Shelby, and I think Alex and her make a great team.This one had a great take on lycanthropy/werewolfs, lots of action, a good mystery, and some serious family drama. Oddly enough, the family drama this time wasn't Price family drama, but involved the intensely paranoid, rude, and obnoxious Tanner family. Don't get me wrong, I liked some members of "Shelly's" family (aka Raina, whose sarcasm and Pokemon obsession cracked me up),
New InCryptid novel! New creatures for the Price family to encounter and occasionally piss off! More of Seanan McGuire ripping out my heart and stomping on it.(The fact that this was her reply when I mentioned that I was going to be emotionally destroyed by the end of the month due to ALL OF THE BOOKS should have tipped me off. Hell, the fact that its Seanan prepared me for it, and that only made me more worried)Picking up with Alex again, we finally get to see the wider world of cryptozoology
*Aisling mice are 'da bomb'*As always, I love her books, love this series... but I will admit, Alex isn't my favorite Price. I like Shelby well enough, too... but again, she's not Verity. And Jiminy Cricket those Australians are so discriminating of anthropoid cryptids.So... I still hung on every word and squealed with maniacal glee when this arrived on my Audible app, but left me with blue balls (metaphorically speaking) for the next in the series! Bring on the other prices! Woohoo!... and the
Buddy read with the Wednesday UF freaks at BB&B.What happens when you combine a slightly nerdy cryptozoologist with the scariest continent in the world? An extremely entertaining adventure! When I first read the blurb and saw that this book takes place in Australia I knew that this will be epic! Alexander Price has definitely stolen the number one place from his sister Verity. I liked her but Alex is much easier to relate to. His love interest is also easier to like. Shelby Tanner is
In Pocket Apocalypse we continue to follow Alex's journey but this time we get to see him travel to Australia with Shelby to help her family deal with a Lycanthropy outbreak. I've come across a lot of different werewolves over the years, from scary monsters to ones who have complete control over their transformations and I have to say that Seanan McGuire's are some of the creepiest I've read about. In this world Lycanthropy is a disease and it if you're infected it changes your body in all kinds
It's an apocalypse, all right--a three-hundred page written disaster.I'll be blunt. I don't read this series for the gorgeous writing; I read for the fun menagerie of fantastical animals. Pocket Apocalypse feels even more tossed off than is usual for McGuire, the majority of the writing a workmanship 'telling.' It's a style that works when one is going through unusual locations, as in Discount Armageddon (New York City sewers), introducing non-human sapients in Midnight Blue-Light Special
