While McGuire's Toby Daye series took a bit to warm up and really get moving, the InCryptid series pretty much hits the ground running. The first book had a lot of worldbuilding and setup, with just the right amount of action to make it interesting, but this one builds on the promises of the first book and goes straight into a major conflict rather than promising that major conflict for 3-5 books before delivering. 
 There is a point toward the late middle of the book where McGuire has to switch narrators in order to tell us the whole story, and it's brilliantly executed. I appreciate that it's not dual first-person all the way through, but only for a few chapters and only where it's required to prevent telling-not-showing infodumping later in the book.
