This was completely an impulse grab. I was about to finish a book at work and was going to need something to read on the train ride home. I'm very happy with this grab.
This is a urban fantasy book in every sense of this sub genre of the sci-fi world. You have every type of fairy you could dream of living in the world of San Francisco and hiding themselves very well while doing it. The main character is October, half fay half human investigator who is trying to make do in a world she's not completely stable in. The story is complex and complimentary to itself, giving the reader everything they want from the world of fay and then some.
I haven't been this pleased with a random pick off the shelf in forever. There is excitement, magic, mystery, humor, and fairies fairies fairies. This type of fantasy hidden so well within the real world of San Francisco makes it feel real and so much easier to follow. So many urban fantasies are falling short of the mark now because they're the in thing, but this book doesn't disappoint and leaves you waiting for more. The next book is coming out in October (ha ha same as the main character's name see humor) and I'm anticipating it the way I used to wait for Anita Blakes.
