[Book Review] Tricks for Free
Tricks for Free (InCryptid #7) / Seanan McGuire
Previously reviewed
Ok folks, I have some really bad news about this book.
There are no Aeslin mice in it.
But they have their own novella at the end (and it's kind of adorable).
In Magic for Nothing I was a little harsh on Antimony... and what I said still holds true, she needed to grow up and she did. So now we get an Annie who has learned in a way she never knew before what exactly it means to be a Price, perhaps still with resentment and issues with Verity, but that is tempered with understanding as well. I like this Annie.
Hiding out from the Covenant (and her family), Antimony has donned an old identity and getting by as an employee at the Lowryland amusement park while she attempts to get her life back together. Life, on the other hand, has its own plans for her. Lowryland turns out to be run by a cabal of magic users who offer to teach her to control the fire insider her, friends from her past are around, and deadly accidents start occurring.
So it's up to one stranded Price, her friends, her boyfriend, and a crossroads ghost to handle a particularly unexpected threat.
