Pocket Apocalypse
by Seanan McGuire is the fourth Incryptid novel and readers are back in the
world of Alex Price. Everything is going well until his girlfriend Shelby
Tanner asks him to go to Australia and help her and her family with a problem. Australia
is a dangerous place because of the wildlife as it is, but these days they also
have an outbreak of werewolves threating the fragile ecosystem. Since werewolves
are not native to Australia, the Tanner family has no experience dealing with werewolves.
Alex does and it was not an experience he particularly enjoyed. But, this is
Shelby asking for help. So, Alex reluctantly joins his girlfriend on her trip
back to her native country.
This book is full of action, humor, and plenty of Australian
monsters. There is plenty of family drama in this novel because the Tanner
family is more focused on their family problems than the fact that there are werewolves
spreading across the country infecting and eating people.
The Aeslin Mice remain one of my favorite parts of this
series. Aeslin Mice, for those who are not familiar with this series are
religious mice that can talk and make funny observations that delight this reader.
I highly recommend Pocket Apocalypse by
Seanan McGuire for those who are interested in a fun book. The fifth book, Chaos
Choreography, changes the main character back to Verity Price who was
the heroine of the first two books.
