tiredTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.
You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

In all seriousness, a really fun read. I forgot how much I enjoyed the humor of the InCryptid books, this one was no exception (Shelby and the Lindworm, Chandi, etc). Glad to see Sarah on the mend.
Oh and I don't think that the "deformed" trope was inappropriately used. From a purely biological standpoint, it makes sense (given that Helena is the child of a greater gorgon and a Pliny's gorgon, if she is in fact fertile, the chances of her children being "normal" (what is "normal" when you're 1/4 greater gorgon, 3/4 Pliny's gorgon?) are extremely unlikely). And I kinda liked the idea that the "deformed" villain was only deformed in his greater gorgon form - As a Pliny's Gorgon, he wasn't deformed at all.
