Fresh Fiction Review

Discount Armageddon

Reviewed by Lyn Nicholas
Posted July 11, 2012

Fantasy Urban

Seanan Maguire is just an incredible writer! She has created another inspiringly unique story and an outrageously fun cast of characters. The world-building in DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON is just out of this world. Literally!

The kick-ass main character will make you wish you could be just like her. DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON put me through the gamut of emotions,. Making me laugh, cry, anxious, and terrified.

It's easy to say that I honestly could not put DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON down. Why not let it lure you in as well?

I don't think I've ever wanted to get so lost in a fictional world before. It's thrilling and action-packed and better than you could possibly imagine. Seanan brought the best part of fantasy into unbelievably fun urban setting.

If you are a fan of mythical creatures and all things supernatural, then you absolutely MUST check out DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON.

SUMMARY

Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night...

The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity-and humanity from them.

Enter Verity Price.

Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George.

When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed. To complicate matters further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the city...
