when Toby's friend's stand to reclaim her, yeah, I totally teared up. this will go in as "Dark and Stormy Night" for Bingo, I'll have to actually check in on it later to see if this gets me my 5th bingo or not. This would also fit for "Halloween" due to a significant event within the book. Poss...

Note: Even tho this is Book 3 in the series, it works mostly fine as a stand alone. Several side characters were introduced in the previous books but one can get the gist of the main character’s relationship to them without having read them. In this installment of the series, changeling Toby is call...

Don't let my rating fool you: I really enjoyed this book. But the repetitiveness? HOLY SHIT was it ever annoying. This series is quickly becoming a favorite and I absolutely adore October (so far *crosses fingers*), but the amount of times she explained that she can't say "thank you" was so irritati...

I have a rule, any book that can make me laugh and make me cry gets 5 stars. This one fits that rule. Tybalt always makes me laugh and I got sniffly a another part. There was a bit of repetition ("I'm not a hero") but I may have noticed it more because I was listening to audio. I was disappointe...

Loved the writing as usual. Interesting new Fae for us to see in action. The whole idea of Blind Michael and his Hunt was extremely ick. It just got even more so as we started to see what the Riders and the Ridden actually went through. And Quintin! Poor thing... One of my favorite characters in thi...

I liked this one a lot. The mythology is even better than the first two, and I love how many rich details about this world we continue to get. I can't wait to see what's coming up in the next books.Spike continues to be absolutely adorable. I want a rose goblin!

I thought Rosemary and Rue and A Local Habitation were a wonderful introduction to McGuire's fascinating universe and I especially enjoyed the cross between Urban Fantasy & Mystery, so I was really looking forward to this book. I feel slightly let down and not because the mystery element was gone. ...

Exceedingly better than the previous one, like bitter and sweet. Toby is actually a real hero in this one. At the end of the last book, Sykvester wasn't happy and Toby had really let him down but there's no mention of that here. I wish that the author had carried that over to this book so Toby coul...
