Literature & Fiction
Review:The latest book in the series and I loved it! It seems that I'm torn between wanting the book to last as long as possible and yet I want to hurry and devour it quickly. You need to get this book and each and everyone in the series because they're that good! Read more
Review:Absolutely loves this book. Her October Daye series gets better with each book!! So sad I have to wait a year for the next installment. Seanan McGuire knows how to wrap up a book but keep you in suspense and wanting for the next book. Read more
Review:I read someone opining somewhere that any adventure series that goes on long enough eventually does a "The Most Dangerous Game" episode, and I suppose this book is Toby's. It seems that Blind Michael's Hunt (this series's version of the "wild hunt" myth) is preying on children, both fae and human, and once again October Daye, halfling PI and fledgling hero must plunge into a situation way above her head to put a stop to it.
McGuire's October Daye series is a bit of an odd duck in the Urb... Read more
Review:The world of October Day may be fictional, but October and her friends live and breath, and so are capable of making us think and making us feel.
October has always been a crusader for justice and protector of children. But as this series evolves she has moved from disenfranchised and broken-hearted to empowered.
A meeting of the Faye is called to discuss the cure for elf shot, which causes pure blood Faye to sleep for 100 years. In those with some human blood it brings death. A cu... Read more
Review:A Local Habitation is the second book in the October Daye series, and Toby has gone back to work as a P.I. Of course. Sylvester has a task for her. Go to Freemont and check on his niece who has stopped returning his calls. But when Toby arrives, the situation is much more alarming than anyone had imagined. It seems members of January’s team are coming up dead, murdered. But…the night haunts are not taking the bodies. Why? And since January’s daughter is probably the best “surveillance/security”...

Review:Considering how the literary landscape of the urban fantasy genre is littered with subpar offerings, it's a rare joy to find a book that is as engaging and well-written as Rosemary and Rue. While it's not groundbreaking, it isn't formulaic, either. I couldn't wrap my mind around the (thankfully, few) negative reviews here and then I realized that many people start an urban fantasy novel with the general expectation of a kick-ass heroine, black and white plot lines and steamy sex. This book is mu... Read more
Review:References to previous storylines....
After being saved by her mother in Late Eclipses, Toby is now working on finding balance again: with her stronger Fae abilities, with her new title as Countess of Goldengreen, and with her reblooming relationship with Connor. When the news comes that the sons of the Saltmist Duchy have been taken, Toby is tasked with discovering where they are before war begins between land and sea. When the task becomes personal, Toby will stop at nothing to save the... Read more
Review:ARC provided by Tor in exchange for an honest review.
This book is beyond words. No amount of word combinations I could possibly string together could do this book justice. This series is truly a gift from above, and I can't urge you enough to drop any and everything you're reading to pick up this or Every Heart a Doorway.
I didn't think it would be possible, but I actually enjoyed Down Among the Sticks and Bones more than Every Heart a Doorway. Once I turned that last page, I imme... Read more
Review:How amazing is this series?!?! I love it. It is one of my very favorites for sure. Plus, it keeps getting better when series usually go down hill. 3 more books and it is over, :( which is pretty sad to me. I can't believe I have to wait a year to see what happens next. I love seanan mcguire! Can't praise her enough. I am glad that she doesn't leave books on a cliff hanger. What else? I love October,I love tybolt, and I love the Leueig!! Read more
Review:Heartbreakingly good. I am so attached to these characters at this point. Seanan McGuire excels at writing complicated relationships; at making immortals feel ancient, and making Faery both alien and familiar. Debts come due in this book, and some people ask too much. Read more
