I am so invested in the worldbuilding and the characters.... The romance is real and awesome, but doesn't overshadow the adventure. --Felicia Day <p/>I can't believe McGuire can come up with <b>another adventure as riveting as this one</b>. But then I say that after every book in this series. --SFRevu <p/>McGuire has never lacked for courage in her writing.... The <b>phenomenally inventive October Daye series showcases her narrative daring</b> and ingenuity beautifully. --<i>RT Reviews</i> <p/>Prepare to be dazzled.... Like the best of urban fantasy, with each reveal and mystery solved, Toby's world grows ever more enticing. <b>As seductive as faerie itself</b>, this is one series I could never give up. --All Things Urban Fantasy <p/>These books are <b>like watching half a season of your favorite television series all at once</b>.... More than anything else, it's the fun of it all that's kept me returning to McGuire's books and to this series. --SF Signal <p/>The plot is strong, the characterization is terrific, the tragedies hurt...and <b>McGuire's usual beautiful writing and dark humor</b> are present and accounted for. This has become one of my favorite urban fantasy series. --Fantasy Literature <p/>With <i>Ashes of Honor</i>, McGuire has crafted <b>a deeply personal and intense story</b>that will keep you on the edge, hoping to be pushed over. In my opinion, it is, hands down, the best Toby to date. --The Ranting Dragon <p/>An urban fantasy detective series featuring a resourceful female detective.... [October Daye] should appeal to <b>fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files as well as the novels of Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs</b>, and similar authors. --<i>Library Journal</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Seanan McGuire </b>is a California-based author with a strong penchant for travel and can regularly be found just about anyplace capable of supporting human life (as well as a few places that probably aren't). Early exposure to a vast number of books left her with a lifelong affection for the written word, and led, perhaps inevitably, to her writing books of her own, starting somewhere around the age of eleven. The <i>October Daye </i>novels are her first urban fantasy series, and the <i>InCryptid</i> novels are her second series, both published by DAW and bother of which have put her in the<i> New York Times </i>bestseller list. Seanan was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer; <i>Rosemary and Rue</i>, the first novel in the <i>October Daye </i>series, was named one of the Top 20 Paranormal Fantasy Novels of the Past Decade; and her novel <i>Feed</i>, written under the name Mira Grant, was named as one of <i>Publishers Weekly's </i>Best Books of 2010. She also won a Hugo for her podcast, and is the first person to be nominated for five Hugo Awards in a single year. You can visit her at www.seananmcguire.com.
