That Ain't Witchcraft
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The eighth book in the funny and fast-paced InCryptid urban fantasy series returns to the mishaps of the Price family, eccentric cryptozoologists who safeguard the world of magical creatures living in secret among humans.
Crossroads, noun:
1. A place where two roads cross.
2. A place where bargains can be made.
3. See also “places to avoid.”
Antimony Price has never done well without a support system. As the youngest of her generation, she has always been able to depend on her parents, siblings, and cousins to help her out when she’s in a pinch—until now. After fleeing from the Covenant of St. George, she’s found herself in debt to the crossroads and running for her life. No family. No mice. No way out.
Lucky for her, she’s always been resourceful, and she’s been gathering allies as she travels: Sam, fūri trapeze artist turned boyfriend; Cylia, jink roller derby captain and designated driver; Fern, sylph friend, confidant, and maker of breakfasts; even Mary, ghost babysitter to the Price family. Annie’s actually starting to feel like they might be able to figure things out—which is probably why things start going wrong again.
New Gravesend, Maine is a nice place to raise a family…or make a binding contract with the crossroads. For James Smith, whose best friend disappeared when she tried to do precisely that, it’s also an excellent place to plot revenge. Now the crossroads want him dead and they want Annie to do the dirty deed. She owes them, after all.
And that’s before Leonard Cunningham, aka, “the next leader of the Covenant,” shows up…
It’s going to take everything Annie has and a little bit more to get out of this one. If she succeeds, she gets to go home. If she fails, she becomes one more cautionary tale about the dangers of bargaining with the crossroads.
But no pressure.

- bioText: Seanan McGuire lives and works in Washington State, where she shares her somewhat idiosyncratic home with her collection of books, creepy dolls, and enormous blue cats. When not writing—which is fairly rare—she enjoys travel, and can regularly be found any place where there are cornfields, haunted houses, or frogs. A Campbell, Hugo, and Nebula Award-winning author, Seanan's first book (Rosemary and Rue, the beginning of the October Daye series) was released in 2009, with more than twenty books across various series following since. Seanan doesn't sleep much.

Starred review from March 1, 2019
Antimony Price has been on the run from the Covenant of St. George. Now in debt to the crossroads, she finds the journey that much longer. While her cryptid friends are with her, including furi carnival boyfriend Sam, being away from her infamous family is still taking a toll. However, the group has found a house in the tiny town of New Gravesend, ME, and maybe Annie can rest a little, or not. The crossroads wants to call in its debt: Annie is to kill one James Smith, who lost his best friend to a contract with the crossroads. He wants revenge, and may be one of the few to take it. But Annie doesn't kill people--not usually. Not even the Covenant's heir apparent, Leonard Cunningham, who has arrived in town. If there's a way Annie can make it through this dilemma, she can finally go home, if she doesn't get herself killed first. The eighth title in the "InCryptid" series showcases McGuire's dry wit and humor in a story with compelling action and imagination that just keeps getting stronger. VERDICT With delightful worldbuilding and enjoyable characters, this follow-up to Tricks for Free is another solid entry in a great urban fantasy series.--Michelle Gilbert Doshi, Lake Forest Lib., IL

Carnivorous unicorns, cornfield blight that turns unsuspecting victims into zombielike creatures, and a tough-as-nails protagonist with a cadre of nonhuman friends are a winning combination for the eighth novel in the "InCryptid" series. Antimony "Annie" Price and her cryptid friends are on the run from Annie's family as well as members of the Covenant, a secret society whose heir apparent is attempting to bring the Price family back into the fold of cryptid hunters. In this installment, Annie and her band of cryptids have taken shelter in New Gravesend, ME, for some rest and relaxation after a harrowing experience. They meet James Smith, reluctant cat burglar and sorcerer, whose best friend was swindled by the Crossroads, a mythological being that stands between worlds and has the power to grant wishes in exchange for a heavy price. Together they try to bring down the entity that has appropriated the Crossroads' power and is working to destroy the desperate humans who seek its help. Annie, a former cheerleader and a roller derby athlete, is whip-smart and at times vulnerable, and the other characters are well-rounded, flawed individuals to whom teens will relate. McGuire provides enough backstory to engage new readers, then plunges them into a fast-paced plot that will keep them turning pages. VERDICT Fans of Cassandra Clare's work and Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's "Beautiful Creatures" will fall in love with this series.-Jodeana Kruse, R.A. Long High School, Longview, WA
