About book Discount Armageddon (2012)

Funny and entertaining: brain candy (fluff, read for fun). A woman whose family is on the run from a religious group since her great x 4 grandparents defected from the Covenant once they decided that the monsters in the world-known as "cryptids" (waheelas, cuckoos, Aeslin mice, and bogeymen/women among many many others) needed studying rather than being wiped from the planet. But she also has a passion for free-running and ballroom dancing. Given a year by her parents to decide which she will choose, Verity Price lives in Manhattan and discovers a dragon sleeping under the city. This was a fun, quick read and McGuire continues to create really fascinating worlds. The mice are so great that I almost bumped this up to a four star rating for them alone. However, Verity isn't as interesting as the world she lives in. I wanted more from her interpersonal life and from the non-mice around her. It is the first in the series and I have faith that the next few installments that McGuire will be able to spend more time with the characters, now that she's established the rules of the universe.
