Praise for Backpacking through Bedlam

“As always, McGuire offers plenty of action and mayhem, complex worldbuilding, snappy dialogue, and a strong focus on the strength of family—both biological and found. Fans will not be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“Following on Spelunking Through Hell, this latest installment in the InCryptid series continues to highlight the fast action, delightful cryptids, and the gloriously dysfunctional family dynamics the Prices are known for. Urban fantasy fans will rejoice.” —Library Journal

Praise for the InCryptid novels

Two-time finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Series
 
“The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book. Swift narrative, charm, great world-building…all the McGuire trademarks.” —Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series
 
“[Half-Off Ragnarok] is kind of like taking a tour through a very deadly theme park made up of alternating parts awesome and terrifying. Come to think of it, that sums up this series quite nicely…. This book effectively acts as a jumping-on point to those just coming in.” —Tor.com
 
“McGuire has honed her craft over a decade-plus of writing, and if you call yourself a sci-fi or fantasy fan, yet haven’t picked her work up, you’re doing yourself a disservice.” —Culturess
 
“McGuire’s InCryptid series is one of the most reliably imaginative and well-told sci-fi series to be found…. McGuire’s heroine is a brave, resourceful and sarcastic delight, and her intrepid comrades are just the kind of supportive and snarky sidekicks she needs.” —RT Reviews
 
“While chock-full of quality worldbuilding, realistic characters, and a double helping of sass, at its core, Half-Off Ragnarok is a book about judging others according to stereotypes, how nurture can overcome nature, and the importance of family.” —Ranting Dragon
 
“The InCryptid series continues to be storytelling at its best. Tricks for Free sends us on a rollercoaster of emotions and thrills with its engaging plot and ever-expanding and fascinating world.” —All Things Urban Fantasy
 
“Imaginary Numbers is a stunning installment and one that every urban fantasy reader is sure to relish.” —Fresh Fiction
