"Rosemary and Rue", the first book of the October Daye series, is an extraordinary piece of Urban Fantasy. It is sombre, complex and well written, a combination I can't resist. The series was recommended to me as an Urban Fantasy must-read, otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with a series centred...
Well, at least I don't have to write a long review here, since so many of my complaints have already been covered in bookaneer's eloquent review. The first quarter was so promising, y'all. I almost bought the rest of the series just because of it. Engaging setting, a sense of humor and dismay! Ala...
Series: October Daye #1 This is what happens when I try to push myself to read at least 50 pages of a book I’m not finding interesting. My rating starts out at a mediocre 2.5 stars, and as I keep going, it falls steadily till it self-destructs around one star. I can’t really explain why I kept goi...
I read this book on the strength of the opening pages, which are quite strong. While I’m not a huge urban fantasy reader, I do enjoy them occasionally; compared to the genre at large, this one is lighter on the romance, heavier on the exposition and average on the snark. Unfortunately, it also has a...

They appear on the streets only under glamor, disguised as humans, but the humans themselves are all bu...
Perfectly okay urban fantasy, which I mostly read because I’ve heard that the series as a whole is amazing. I wasn’t super invested in this first book, but I will keep reading at least a few more.
Set in the modern-day San Francisco Bay area, October ‘Toby’ Daye is a PI who investigates the normal, but also the supernatural. Being half-fae herself, she has quite a few tricks up her sleeves when it comes to detecting the truth. Toby Daye is also a mother and a fiancé. But then a case goes tits...
Recently I was reminded of this fine author by a friend of mine. He kept pushing me to re-read this book and i am glad I did. Toby is a half Fae living under the radar, so to speak. Burned by both sides of her heritage, she is really just existing. Going from work to home and back again with littl...
...to start reading the eight volume of this series, I decided that now would be a good idea to re-read the previous seven...because...I am idiot with a weak memory :/ o_O Hopefully I will be able to read the new volume during this year! "There's nothing wrong with having a few monsters in the sha...
