It's basically impossible for me to write a review for an October Daye book because they would all just be like 'HEY YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK? I LOVE IT. E V E R Y T H I N G!' But I do just want to say that it's my favorite urban fantasy series. I love Toby because she is just such a well rounded character and feels so REAL and also she's allowed to make mistakes [and even be a bit of a dick occasionally] in a way that a lot of female characters never get. Definitely recommend this series for anyone looking for a new urban fantasy read. Awesome female characters, awesome queer characters, and believable/enjoyable romance that doesn't take over the entire plot! It's a miracle! 
 [Also, re: this book in particular - Seanan, how dare you make me fall in love with Simon???? What is this???]
