That Ain't Witchcraft
That Ain't Witchcraft | Seanan McGuire
15 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Now a Hugo-nominated series! The eighth book in the funny and fast-paced InCryptid urban fantasy series returns to the mishaps of the Price family, eccentric cryptozoologists who safeguard the world of magical creatures living in secret among humans. Crossroads, noun: 1. A place where two roads cross. 2. A place where bargains can be made. 3. See also "places to avoid." Antimony Price has never done well without a support system. As the youngest of her generation, she has always been able to depend on her parents, siblings, and cousins to help her out when she's in a pinch--until now. After fleeing from the Covenant of St. George, she's found herself in debt to the crossroads and running for her life. No family. No mice. No way out. Lucky for her, she's always been resourceful, and she's been gathering allies as she travels: Sam, f?ri trapeze artist turned boyfriend; Cylia, jink roller derby captain and designated driver; Fern, sylph friend, confidant, and maker of breakfasts; even Mary, ghost babysitter to the Price family. Annie's actually starting to feel like they might be able to figure things out--which is probably why things start going wrong again. New Gravesend, Maine is a nice place to raise a family...or make a binding contract with the crossroads. For James Smith, whose best friend disappeared when she tried to do precisely that, it's also an excellent place to plot revenge. Now the crossroads want him dead and they want Annie to do the dirty deed. She owes them, after all. And that's before Leonard Cunningham, aka, "the next leader of the Covenant," shows up... It's going to take everything Annie has and a little bit more to get out of this one. If she succeeds, she gets to go home. If she fails, she becomes one more cautionary tale about the dangers of bargaining with the crossroads. But no pressure.

I greatly enjoyed this entry in the Incryptid series. There's always a found-family vibe in these books, but this one perhaps more than most. There's also a dredging of cosmic horror as Antimony finds herself up against the crossroads itself.

Settling back into the Incryptid series. Pink crochet is a honeycomb trellis scarf I knocked out today from a leftover skein of Malabrigo Rios. #crochet #litsycrafters #incryptid #fantasy

Tea_and_Starstuff I'm just starting a read of this series, starting with a reread of the first. I love the author's other series, am excited to dig in to this one more! 11mo
Lauredhel @Tea_and_Starstuff it's a comfy world for me - had a bit of a lull in reading them but am happy I picked it up again. Enjoy! 11mo

So apparently I decided to completely disregard my plans for the month and went on a binge of the InCryptid series to finish off Antimony's trilogy. I think she's my favorite of the three Price siblings so I'm sad her story arc is done for a while. Pretty big world events happen in this one so I'm curious where other back storylines will go after the events in this one.

My August 2020 reads. Mostly light reads, but that was about all my brain could handle this month. But I found a new author, Aven Ellis, and have been making her way through her backlist.

Crazeedi You did great!👏🎉 4y

IM BACK! After another tough semester of uni I‘m back to reading books I want to read instead of law textbooks. And I always treat myself to the next Seanan McGuire book. This is the latest book following Antimony Price as she enlists the help of a sorcerer to defeat the “crossroads”.... too difficult to explain here. Was so-so, not as good as Magic For Nothing, or even Tricks For Free, but a good book nonetheless.
