Review: The Myth Manifestation (SPI Files #5) by Lisa Shearin

About the Book

The agents of Supernatural Protection & Investigations (SPI) protect people from predatory supernaturals. This time, we’re the ones who need protection.

New York is one of the most popular convention destinations in the world—for humans and supernaturals. Every hundred years, rulers of the world’s supernatural races come together to negotiate and renew a peace treaty. Meeting in the same hotel are the governors of our world’s goblin and elf colonies. SPI is saddled with the security nightmare of keeping the living delegates alive and the undead delegates from becoming permanently deceased. We’ve got our work cut out for us.

I’m Makenna Fraser, seer for SPI. Our security nightmare becomes real when monsters from the delegates’ mythologies begin mysteriously appearing in the flesh to hunt delegates from every side of the debate. And when the hotel gets sucked into another dimension, there’s no escape.

We discover that we’re all pieces in an elaborate and deadly game. A game about to spill out into the real world. Failing to escape is game over and not an option. We have to save the world—but first, we have to save ourselves.

My Thoughts

I was super excited to start The Myth Manifestation. The SPI Files are such fun books! The characters are great and there's so much humor. Love that! There's so many interesting and unique supernatural creatures, lots I've never even heard of, which makes this series fresh and exciting.

There's nice bits of recaps throughout that I appreciated. It's been a little while, and many other books, since I read the previous book, so it was good to have a little refresher course. Plus, it's written in a way that if this were the first in the series you picked up, you'd not be lost. It'd still suggest starting with book one, though. It's a fantastic series and I wouldn't want you to miss out on any of the fun. 

If you're a fan of urban fantasy, I highly recommend this series. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next installment.
