Two-time finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Series

"Kind of like taking a tour through a very deadly theme park made up of alternating parts awesome and terrifying." —Reactor

Seanan McGuires New York Times-bestselling and Hugo Award-nominated urban fantasy InCryptid series continues with the thirteenth book following the Price family, cryptozoologists who study and protect the creatures living in secret all around us

Mary Dunlavy didnt intend to become a professional babysitter. Of course, she didnt intend to die, either, or to become a crossroads ghost. As a babysitting ghost, shes been caring for the Price family for four generations, and shes planning to keep doing the job for the better part of forever.

With her first charge finally back from her decades-long cross-dimensional field trip, with a long-lost husband and adopted daughter in tow, its time for Mary to oversee the worlds most chaotic family reunion. And thats before the Covenant of St. George launches a full scale strike against the cryptids of Manhattan, followed quickly by an attack on the Campbell Family Carnival.

Its going to take every advantage and every ally they have for the Prices to survive whats coming—and for Mary, to avoid finding out the answer to a question shes never wanted to know: what happens to a babysitting ghost if she loses the people shes promised to protect?
