Short Story Saturday: Snake in the Grass by Seanan McGuire

Series: InCryptid #3.3Author: Seanan McGuireReleased: December 31, 2015 Goodreads | Seanan McGuire’s Patreon It’s time to dive back into the world of InCrypid! At this point, I might be nearing the end of Verity’s short stories…but I certainly wouldn’t complain if I ended up being wrong. I enjoy her and Dominic’s antics, perhaps a little too much. Verity and Dominic aren’t like other couples.…

fic rec! 345K Voltron/InCrypid AU

Summary: Takashi Shirogane is raised in a noble lineage of monster hunters, tasked with protecting humanity from things that would prey on them. He’s always believed in upholding justice and protecting the innocent. But after a chance encounter with one of the creatures he hunts, he realizes many of those so-called ‘monsters’ are innocent too, and the cause he serves isn’t as noble as he’d been led to believe. So he runs. And he hides. And slowly but surely, he comes to learn more about the cryptid world. He protects those who need it, and he earns his own redemption. And all the while, something dark lurks in the city he calls home, whispered of in shadows, threatening the people he’s sworn to protect. Something called Galra.

Comments: I...words cannot describe the effects this fic has had on me. On update days, I checked my inbox several times. I gushed about this to people who aren’t in either of these fandoms. I read by phone, by laptop, in the car, in bed, and between work meetings. I picked up the first book in the series this is an AU of and devoured it in 3 days. I used weird tracking knowledge in this to impress my dad. I feel so re-inlove with @velkynkarma‘s work that I went back, read pretty much everything they’d written for the show, and then decided that wasn’t scratching my Voltron itch and went back to read other fav VLD author’s works too. This fic has thrown me back into a fandom, and now has me contemplating a sequel to the one good VLD fic I’ve read.

This fic is so well thought out, the world so well built. I love how little things from early chapters come back and wallop you. I love the hard choices Shiro has. I love the ensemble cast with all the paladins. I love how the stakes rise, and rise, and rise and Shrio pulls an Ed Elric and decides to punch a god. I love how I fell in love with these characters, and this show, all over again through the story. I love seeing Keith be unfathomly loyal, Shiro got through all the hell of the series in like, 2 week. Hunk being warm, Lance cross-species mingling, Allura reigning over a city, Pidge being such a rebellious child and Coran doing his best. I also adored the mice. They’re perfect.

📚📚 (one for each)

Blake is reading the Incrypid series by Seanan McGuire, so far she likes the main character, Verity. A human that knows ballroom dancing and wants to protect those that aren’t human? Color her curious.

Meanwhile Yang is making her way through the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter. A bounty hunter who works security and kills rouge vampires and rides an utterly beautiful bike? Yep, she’s enjoying it. Mostly she really likes the bike.

Magic For Nothing (InCrypid book 6) by Seanan McGuire (book review)

Magic For Nothing (InCrypid book 6) by Seanan McGuire (book review)

There are two ways of tackling a series of books involving the same group of characters. One method is to stick with one or two individuals and weave every story around them, following them as their lives are changed by events. This is the approach taken by Charlaine Harris in the ‘Sookie Stackhouse’ books and Laurel K. Hamilton in the ‘Anita Blake’ novels. The danger is that as the characters…

It would be a lie to say that I'm normal....but sometime in the morning I'm extra not normal imagining a Price family circus act

For this week’s Tomes and Tea, I’m rereading Seanan McGuire’s Tricks for Free from the Incryptid series. Annie is my favorite of the Price siblings and I’m having a lot of fun reading her books in the series again.

1. What is that one book that you’ve been wanting to read for a long time but haven’t for any reason?

The new Incrypid book, Calculated Risks. I got it when it came out and still haven't read the damn thing... It's currently sitting on my shelf and waiting for me to get to it.

Sometimes on slow mornings when I go thump thump un the kitchen I like to imagine what sort of circus acts could be done if the whole price family got together.....
