Spelunking Through Hell by Seanan McGuire is the 11th book in following the Price family. While not quite a standalone it was still an easy book to read without having read all the other books in the series. I have read maybe 3 other books in the series and was able to follow along but knowing the other family members did help. Alice is a one person kind of person. Even at the expense of her children. Alice's person is her husband, Thomas and he was taken away from her. She spent years, even abandoning her children, trying to locate her husband. Thanks to her family's actions Alice is now able to find her husband. Will she be able to truly save him? 

 

As usual I read this months ago. I mostly wrote the synopsis from memory (after checking to make sure I was talking about the right book). It was a memorable book with interesting characters and plot. Do I particularly like Alice or find her relatable? No but I still enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, fun, a little dark but still has a predictable ending that I want. I would recommend this series and this author but would not recommend this as the first one to read in the series. I do not find it that strong of a book in the series. 

 

I liked the book but found Alice a less than pleasant protagonist so I would put this at 3.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, DAW and Seanan McGuire for a free copy this was an honest review.
