Book number fourteen of a fifteen book urban dark fantasy series. I
read the well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Tor in
2025 that I bought new from Amazon in 2026. There are several other Crossroads books and short stories in the Incryptid universe. I have
book 15 already and will read it soon. I note that the author switched
from DAW to Tor publishers and that the MMPB format has gone away for
now. I paid $15 for the trade paperback which is a fair price.

Mary Dunlavy is almost one hundred years old. She became a professional babysitter at age fifteen for the Price family when she was accidentally murdered. As a babysitting ghost, she has cared for four generations of
the Price family. As the persecution of the Price family and the
Incryptids has increased, Mary carried a large bomb to the Covenant of
St. George and blew up their main facility, but was blown up herself.
Now six months later, she has managed to reincorporate but life in the
Price family has moved on. And there is Covenant team on the East Coast
of the USA capturing ghosts and driving them insane.

I have really enjoyed the Incryptid series and the constant introduction
of new types of Incryptids. Of course, the Aeslin mice are highly
amusing as usual.

There is a short story at the end of the book about the ongoing life of
Verity Price as an apartment building manager for the Dragon Ladies. Oh
yeah, and she is eight months pregnant without her husband.

Note: Even though the author and I share the same middle and last name,
I paid for my book and was not compensated for my review. I have no
idea if we are directly related.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (576 reviews)
