So far I have not come across any book from this author that I have not liked. She has a way of taking ordinary things, and mix them with the stories that we have heard all our lives about things that don't exist, and somehow make it all seem real. She writes possibly some of the most creative and original books that I have ever read. This book is no different. She manages to create cryptid creatures that are both based on reality, myth, and make-believe that feel real. As always the mice are seriously entertaining, though I would have liked to see a bit more of them in this book. The characters weren't bad, and the brother in this book is different enough while being the same in the important ways, than the sister in the first books to make it seem new while right in the same vein as the other books. This story was possibly a bit slower, and didn't have as much interaction with a wider cryptid world than the other books did but that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. It works somehow in this book.

Fun book. It's nice to see a family that works together and not dysfunctional in the traditional ways. I didn't quite understand the killers motivations.

I love the In-Cryptid series. This book was a fun read. Fast-paced. Difficult to put down. I highly recommend it.

Summer vacation made this book take me longer to read than it should have. I enjoyed it very much. I was surprised to find that this installment was about Alex and not either one of the girls. Pleasantly surprised as it turns out, though I do admit to missing Verity at this point. Alex's life as a cryptozoologist differs quite a bit from his sisters. He's working in a zoo and I loved that mix of cryptids and "normal" animals. I also loved the dynamic between him and his love interest in the book and I look forward to seeing that grow in future books (please Ms. McGuire?) Another thing that I truly loved about this volume, was how shocked I was at who the "villain" was at the end. I honestly did not see it coming and I love when a novel like this can truly take me by surprise. I'm so glad I picked up this series.

I liked the first two books in this series but this one is not about Verity in New York but about her brother Alex in Ohio. My biggest problem was the general premise. I could mange to suspend belief that there were intelligence creatures hiding from regular people in a large city like New York but I couldn't believe that there are incryptid animals in Ohio- man killer ones - that have not been discovered. It is well written, moves at a good pace and has a satisfying mystery.
