review 1: An old drug seems to be finding new distribution streams and more changelings are showing up dead. When October brings this up with the Queen of the Mists, she finds that she might be the one responsible for it all. She also finds herself in exile from the court. Kind of a get ou...

review 1: I just love these books. This one had a suuuuuper high body count, but it was soooo good. I ADORE Toby. I feel sullied and unusual. Amazed and horrified. It's an amazing blend of modern pulp fiction and fairy tale. Urban fantasy, man. But McGuire does an especially amazing job wi...

review 1: 3.5 starsBest book in the series so far. I'm not sure if Toby is becoming less irritating or if I'm simply becoming immune to her idiot-tendencies. Also, this book featured many of my favorite characters: Luidaeg, Quentin, Lily, Tybalt, and Spike- not to mention the creation o...

review 1: Rosemary and Rue had some really great writing and I very much enjoyed the language. Unfortunately, this book just wasn't going anywhere and I put it down 50% of the way through due to pure boredom. I NEVER don't finish a book. I have to give it the benefit of the doubt. I made i...

review 1: This is a re-read for me and I think I feel the same way about it this time as last time. I liked it, but didn't love it. Along with learning this world, we are also learning a lot about Toby's past which at times feels like so much information that it slows down the story. I can...

review 1: As always with this series I found that I just couldn't put it down. It continues to develop well and McGuire explains right away that everything that has happened previously was building up to this book.She doesn't disappoint!This is filled with plenty of moments of "Why didn't...

review 1: This has to be one of the most frustrating books that I've read that I haven't DNF'd. The good things were great. The main characters voice was awesome and the world building was unique with a ton of depth. While normally that would be enough for me it really wasn't. Toby Daye ha...

review 1: Book 3 in the October Daye series. Starts to have some development tying the individual books together into a wider series, and I absolutely couldn't put this one down, much to my OH's disgust when I ignored him reading it whilst cooking, eating and spending an evening together w...

review 1: Although I haven't reviewed them (yet?), I had my fair share of problems with the first three books. Namely, inconsistencies in writing, lack of plot, and the fact that I wanted to smother the main character with a pillow 90% of the time. All that being said, I give this one 3.8 ...

review 1: Generalised spoiler warning in effect for the first four books, because, well obviously.Toby has come along way since we met her back in Rosemary and Rue. Back then she was keeping her head down, avoiding her past, not thinking about her future. She wasn’t really doing much past ...

review 1: I'm a huge fan of Mira Grant's Feed series. (Side note: Mira Grant and Seanan McGuire = same person.) It was only recently I discovered she'd written an urban fantasy series featuring fae. October "Toby" Daye is a changeling - half fae/human. She thought she had both parts of her...

review 1: Very seldom do I find a book, that is this perfect. A natural progression for this series, its cast, and the mood of the whole thing. If I could give more than five stars I would. I'm very glad that McGuire, and her editors took us on this journey, opening October's heart the way...

review 1: I love this series, and this 7th entry is just another great continuation of Toby's story. And how cool that we now know so many more things, like Quentin's heritage and the evil queen's history. The evolution of (the reader's) knowledge over a series really does make you want to...
