Imaginary Numbers
Imaginary Numbers | Seanan McGuire
9 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
The ninth book in the 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. Sarah Zellaby has always been in an interesting position. Adopted into the Price family at a young age, she's never been able to escape the biological reality of her origins: she's a cuckoo, a telepathic ambush predator closer akin to a parasitic wasp than a human being. Friend, cousin, mathematician; it's never been enough to dispel the fear that one day, nature will win out over nurture, and everything will change. Maybe that time has finally come. After spending the last several years recuperating in Ohio with her adoptive parents, Sarah is ready to return to the world--and most importantly, to her cousin Artie, with whom she has been head-over-heels in love since childhood. But there are cuckoos everywhere, and when the question of her own survival is weighed against the survival of her family, Sarah's choices all add up to one inescapable conclusion. This is war. Cuckoo vs. Price, human vs. cryptid...and not all of them are going to walk away.

Pickpick

If you‘ve been following me long enough you‘d know I LOVE all Seanan McGuire books. This one in the InCryptid series has everything I‘d normally hate - romance, POV changes, and cliffhanger endings - but I still read this every spare moment I got and finished it in 2 days.
Today I offer no filter, please admire my math-themed t-shirt (very appropriately chosen for the book)

Bookzombie Love the T-shirt! 3y

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 293.

Seanan McGuire never disappoints and Imaginary Numbers was better than I even thought it could be! Even if it did end on a hell of a cliffhanger. And the Novella at the back was wonderful also
