This i would call the bones of a good novella. The impression I got was a very good story that had gaps in plot (maybe space restrictions or rushed for time). With a little more meat, this would easily be a 4 star ( )

Pretty big loose end that's just left hanging at the end of this story, but I have a feeling that it may show up again later. ( )

This was a satisfying resolution to a couple of plot threads from earlier stories. And it was also cool to see a little more development of Enid and Alexander, with their different backgrounds and relationship with the Covenant. ( )

3.5 Stars

Another short in the InCryptid series. Jonathan and Fran have finally tracked down those responsible for the death of Daniel. It is a harsh reminder that some of the things they have been trying to protect are indeed real monsters.

It was good to finally see the characters get their revenge. As always nice to see the Aeslin mice again. ( )

If you are reading a Seanan McGuire book and you meet a mysterious woman with pale white skin and dark black hair, run the eff away because she is evil. (Unless you are reading Indexing, in which case you should run away, but not because she's evil, just because you could be collateral damage.)

This story was a bit predictable--of course we knew why the whole town was taken, of course we did--but it fit so neatly and wonderfully into the series as a whole, and emotionally it did just what it needed to do. ( )
