 Book number thirteen of a fourteen book urban dark fantasy series.  I read the well printed and well bound MMPB published by DAW in 2024 that I bought new from Amazon.  There are several other Crossroads books and short stories in the Incryptid universe.  I will purchase future books in the series when they are released.  BTW, I believe that this is the first $11.99 MMPB that I have purchased.  I doubt that this will be the last.
 Mary Dunlavy is almost one hundred years old.  She became a professional babysitter at age fifteen when she was accidentally murdered.  As a babysitting ghost, she has cared for four generations of the Price family.  But a new crisis has raised its head, the Covenant of St. George has sent several teams to the USA and they are trying to murder all of the Price family and the InCryptids.  Especially the 300 ton male dragon in the depths of Manhattan island who may be the last male dragon in the world.
 There is a excellent short story at the end giving a picture of how the
hundreds of Aeslin mice live in the Portland Price household. The house
is designed for the Aeslin mice to easily move in the walls from room to
room and story to story.
 The author has a website at:

 The incryptids are listed at:

 Note: Even though the author and I share the same middle and last name, I paid for my book and was not compensated for my review. I have no idea if we are directly related.
 My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (793 reviews)

Sigh.  Meant to save, I hit post.
