Discount Armageddon (InCryptid, #1)

by Seanan McGuire

The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity – and humanity from them.

Meet Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she’d rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan to pursue her dream career in professional ballroom dance. That is, until talking mice, telepathic mathematicians, and a tangle with the Price family’s old enemies, the Covenant of St. George, get in her way…

While reading this book I kept vacillating between Men in Black and Dr. Doolittle in my mind. Only supernatural, not alien. Either way this was a very entertaining read. My favorite character is probably Sarah, although each character, even the unusual ones, are likeable, unique and engaging. Verity is a perfect blend of kick-ass heroine and happy-go-lucky smartass. I look forward to reading about more of her adventures.
