That was a whole lot of plot for very little climaxes. Fun urban fantasy but lacked a little something. I needed to care more about some other characters, and I really really needed more af the end.

This is not at all what I thought it would be and is so creative. The art and concept are equally enthralling and the premise is part scifi part horror part 80s teen movie. Excellent read!

Coming back to an October Daye novel is like slipping back into my favorite TV or a group of friends I haven’t seen in awhile. I have to admit the premise of this one didn’t excite me. If I have one complaint about how Toby is written it’s her relationship to her daughter and ex-husband, but this book actually turned a lot of that around for me. There’s a big spoiler I won’t put here - I made a lot of things make sense but at the same time felt like an easy out for Toby as she relates to her human family. I enjoyed the Tybalt storyline too. I appreciate that McGuire isn’t too scared to show the haunting real life affects of that some of these adventures have on the characters.

I didn't realize I'd jumped into book two of a series until I was a few chapters in and by then I was hooked anyway. I love Dina and this idea. Here she is a diplomat, a strategist, and a customer service rep. This is how I feel every day but with higher stakes. Enjoyed this a lot!

This goofy little learn-to-read book was just perfect for my first grader. He kept giggling at Dinosaur Detective and the vocabulary was spot on for his reading level.

This weeks comic for club. Still processing my thoughts on it. Gut instinct is that it was heavy handed to the point of preachy, but then again maybe that’s called for? I didn’t feel a real connection here, but the illustration style is beautiful. Not for kids by the way, some sexy sex graphics here.

Marathoned this book on audio with the third. It continues to be a remarkable story.
