Now in trade paperback, the eleventh book in the 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.
Love, noun:

Passion, noun:

2. Enthusiasm, interest, desire.
3. See also "obsession."
It's been fifty years since the crossroads caused the disappearance of Thomas Price, and his wife, Alice, has been trying to find him and bring him home ever since, despite the increasing probability that he's no longer alive for her to find. Now that the crossroads have been destroyed, she's redoubling her efforts. It's time to bring him home, dead or alive.
Preferably alive, of course, but she's tired, and at this point, she's not that picky. It's a pan-dimensional crash course in chaos, as Alice tries to find the rabbit hole she's been missing for all these decades—the one that will take her to the man she loves.
Who are her allies? Who are her enemies? And if she manages to find him, will he even remember her at this point?
It's a lot for one cryptozoologist to handle.
My Review:
Wow, I loved reading this book and it's novella so much! Alice has been a background character for a while, we've gotten shorts of her childhood, and she's popped up in a few of the main stories-but this one is her story, and I loved it!
This is the first book that we've gotten that actually explores these other worlds and dimensions. Calculated Risks had them stuck in one, but this book has Alice going to a few different places-and choosing to do so. So I loved learning all of that!
When she gets to the bottle world, well, that was so amazing to read! There were so many amazing moments-and I'm so glad that they got them! And there were some pretty interesting discoveries that I really enjoyed watching play out!
In the acknowledgements, Seanan McGuire writes that this was the book that she used to pitch the series. And I'm a little stunned, because this is well into the series now. And it has me so very excited to see what this series is building up to!
And Sweep Up the World, that hurt. A lot. In the short stories, of the history of the various Healys. But it was hard to have another. We knew that she'd survive, given that we've gotten this whole series in the first place, but wow, was it pretty intense!

Loved reading these, and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!
