Rosemary and Rue: An October Daye Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The world of Faerie never disappeared; it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie's survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born.
Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas...
The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery...before the curse catches up with her.
This edition features an all-new October Daye novella, Strangers in Court. Toby knew what she was doing when she threw her lot in with Devin, but when the time comes to get out, she has a little less of a clue. In order to win her freedom, she must do something to impress the local nobility—and the collapse of the Queen's knowe would seem to be exactly the opportunity she's been waiting for to prove herself! Set well before the events of Rosemary and Rue, this is a rare look at Toby's past as a changeling street rat, before she discovered her destiny as a Hero of the Realm.

Singer-songwriter McGuire adeptly infuses her debut with hardboiled sensibilities and a wide array of mythological influences, set against a moody San Francisco backdrop. October “Toby” Daye is half-human, half-faerie, a changeling PI with a foot in both worlds. After spending 14 years as a fish following a botched assignment, she's desperate to avoid magic, but the dying curse of a murdered elven lady forces her to investigate the killing, with the price of failure being Toby's own painful death. Toby struggles with court intrigue, magical mayhem, would-be assassins and her own past, always driven by the need to succeed and survive. Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison.

Having narrowly survived a job gone awry--one that led to a nearly 15-year stint as a pond carp in San Francisco's Japanese Tea Garden--former private investigator and changeling October "Toby" Daye wants nothing further to do with the world of Faerie. Unfortunately, passing for human isn't an option, especially after a dying woman's curse compels Toby to investigate the murder of a fae countess. VERDICT Like Dreams and Shadows, this dark, gritty, and richly detailed urban fantasy introduces characters who awkwardly straddle the boundary between the mortal and supernatural worlds, presenting an inventive contemporary take on classic fairy tale lore.

Starred review from August 1, 2009
October Daye is half human and half Fae and a licensed PI. It was her last case for the local duke (and her liege lord) that caused her to end up as a carp in the Japanese Tea Gardens for 14 years. Alone and still recovering (its not easy being a carp), Toby resists taking up any more PI work and avoids everything Fae. But what she cant resist is a death-fueled charm wielded by one of San Franciscos oldest faeries, which requires her to discover Countess Winterroses killer. Tobys investigation gets off to a dramatic start as she dodges hired hit men and silver bullets, continuing at a frenetic pace as it becomes clear that the supreme powers in the local faerie world are all involved in the case. The brisk pacing, the effective mixing of human and magical characters, and the PI ambience all make this an excellent choice for fans of Butchers Harry Dresden series. Toby is nearly as troubled and lonely as Harry, equally fond of her cats, and just as likely to sacrifice herself to save someone else. Tobys unusual heritage and her uneasy relationships with her mothers family will remind readers of Briggs Mercy Thompson series, and Thompson fans will appreciate Tobys tough and self-reliant character. This outstanding first novel is a must for fans of genre-bending blends of crime and fantasy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
