Discount Armageddon

Verity Price loves to dance. Her dream is to become a professional dancer. Her family has other ideas. The Price family have been cryptozoologists for generations. They find cryptids (monsters), and if they aren't a threat to humans, they protect them. If they are a danger, they gotta go. Verity's family finds a way to compromise. She can pursue her dream in Manhattan as long as she takes care of the cryptid community too. Things are going fine until cryptids start disappearing, a guy from the Covenent shows up, and there is talk of a dragon. Verity has to find a way to deal with everything, or she can kiss her dance career goodbye. I really enjoyed this book. Fast paced, funny, great characters, and I love reading about all the different kinds of cryptids. I love the Aeslin mice! Hail!

While this was a fun read, there were so many part of this book that were so ... ridiculous! Dominic's quick change of heart. The scene where Verity was making Candy change the songs while they were fighting the servitors. The dance scene with Dominic. I could probably go on. But, it was fun.

Verity is a cryptozoologist, she “hunts” cryptids. I think I have that right. And she studies them. Cryptids are the supernaturals in this world, and she prefers not to kill them. Her and her family are traitors to the Covenant, and they have been hiding from them for years. Her Grandmother is in hell, looking for her Grandfather, her Mom occasionally visits to help, and Verity just wants to dance. Something is stealing cryptids, and Dominic swears its not him, so Verity works with him to find out what.

I really liked the mice. They were hilarious. Part of the ridiculousness too though. And while I probably won't be picking up the second book to this series anytime soon, I probably will be picking it up eventually. I am intrigued enough to know what happens, but I don't need to know it now.
