I smiled grimly as we wove in and out of traffic, watching the near misses become less miss and more near. “That’s the idea!” It was actually fun, in a fatalistic sort of way.
“What the-?” demanded a voice from the back. Like when she's driving home from a meeting with the duke only to find a fae assassin in her backseat: But the anger is there, even if she's buried it under six feet of avoidance, and an angry Toby makes for an infinitely more interesting Toby than a woe-is-me Toby. Īnd gets transfigured into a koi, and spends the next FOURTEEN YEARS of her life swimming in one of the ponds in Golden Gate Park's Tea Gardens.Įventually, she regains her humanity, but she's lost everything she cared about-her fiancé is with another woman, her daughter is nearly grown, and both believe she abandoned them-the world is unrecognizable (her last cell phone was the size of a 12oz soda can), and, well. Sylvester Torquill is her friend, as is his wife, and their daughter is near the same age as her own, so when she tracks down the culprit, instead of leaving to report in, she stays. She calls in reinforcements to handle any takedowns or wrangling of pureblooded fae villains. She's worked similar jobs for fae before, but as a changeling, her abilities are flimsy compared to those of a full-blooded fae, so when she finds what she's looking for, she taps out. When a powerful fae's wife and daughter are kidnapped, he recruits Toby for her PI skills to find them. It's that "mostly" that destroys her world.
She has a human fiancé, and together they have a daughter. She lives mostly with the humans, or has for awhile now. October Daye is a changeling, or part fae/part human. Once he showed up, it was easy to push through the next couple of chapters, then Toby was back in thick of things. Me: I'm SO glad you asked! I didn't even have to finish the first chapter before things got interesting. You: Yeah, but how long did that take? How far do I have to get into the book before I get to the "good part"? Which was good, b/c I made it past the '90s flashback of a prologue, and the depths-of-despair aftermath that had initially put me off. I didn't pick it up again for a couple of years, and when I did, it was b/c DESPERATE for new UF.
The first time I tried to read ROSEMARY AND RUE, I DNF-ed it. October Daye is one of my Top 5 Favorite UF Series.Ģ. There are two things I want to tell you in advance:ġ.
