“For her to love me, she had to be willing to kill me. Anything else would show that her heart was untrue.”
The struggle against not-so-charming storybook narratives isn’t the only complicating factor in Henrietta “Henry” Marchen’s life. As part of the ATI Management Bureau team protecting the world from fairy tales gone awry, she’s juggling her unwanted new status as a Snow White, dealing with a potentially dangerous Pied Piper, and wrangling a most troublesome wicked stepsister—along with a budding relationship with Jeff, her teammate.
But when a twisted, vicious Cinderella breaks out of prison and wreaks havoc, things go from disenchanted to deadly. And once Henry realizes someone is trying to use her to destroy the world, her story becomes far from over—and this one might not have a happily ever after.
Indexing: Reflections is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s continuing new urban fantasy, where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.
About Seanan McGuire
Seanan is the author of the October Daye urban fantasies, the InCryptid urban fantasies, and several other works both stand-alone and in trilogies or duologies. In case that wasn't enough, she also writes under the pseudonym "Mira Grant." For details on her work as Mira, check out MiraGrant.com.
Seanan lives in a creaky old farmhouse in Northern California, which she shares with her cats, Alice and Thomas, a vast collection of creepy dolls and horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She has strongly-held and oft-expressed beliefs about the origins of the Black Death, the X-Men, and the need for chainsaws in daily life.
In retrospect, I think I was a little harsh in my rating of Indexing because I only have positive memories of it. Purchasing it as a Kindle serial, receiving a new piece of the story every two weeks was so. much. fun. It was admittedly a little hard to keep track of the story because it’s stretched over the course of 4 months but… still fun. I had no idea there was a second one coming but I can’t wait now!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me a link to your post and I’ll be sure to stop by!

I have not heard of this one. Happy Reading! My WoW is gothic horror romance and kind of a different thing for me, but I think it’s going to be amazing.
This is my first time hearing about this series. Not one I think I would read although it does sounds very interesting.
My WoW
I’ve never heard of this but now I’m curious! I definitely like the idea of short “episodes” that can be squeezed in between review books:-D

I don’t know about reading serials, but I did purchase the Indexing after it was completed. Had no idea a second one was coming out. Hope you enjoy this one as much!

Interesting concept. I think the serial format might make me a bit bonkers… but still, might check out #1.

That’s good you’re excited for the second set. I’ve never read a serial novel, but I like the idea. This one sounds really fun. My WOW post is here this week: http://www.letsgetbeyondtolerance.blogspot.com
