Things are not okay.
In the aftermath of Amandine's latest betrayal, October "Toby" Daye's fragile self-made family is on the verge of coming apart at the seams. Jazz can't sleep, Sylvester doesn't want to see her, and worst of all, Tybalt has withdrawn from her entirely, retreating into the Court of Cats as he tries to recover from his abduction. Toby is floundering, unable to help the people she loves most heal. She needs a distraction. She needs a quest.
What she doesn't need is the abduction of her estranged human daughter, Gillian. What she doesn't need is to be accused of kidnapping her own child by her ex-boyfriend and his new wife, who seems to be harboring secrets of her own. There's no question of whether she'll take the case. The only question is whether she's emotionally prepared to survive it.
Signs of Faerie's involvement are everywhere, and it's going to take all Toby's nerve and all her allies to get her through this web of old secrets, older hatreds, and new deceits. If she can't find Gillian before time runs out, her own child will pay the price. One question remains:
Who in Faerie remembered Gillian existed? And what do they stand to gain? No matter how this ends, Toby's life will never be the same.
About Seanan McGuire
Seanan is the author of the October Daye urban fantasies, the InCryptid urban fantasies, and several other works both stand-alone and in trilogies or duologies. In case that wasn't enough, she also writes under the pseudonym "Mira Grant." For details on her work as Mira, check out MiraGrant.com.
Seanan lives in a creaky old farmhouse in Northern California, which she shares with her cats, Alice and Thomas, a vast collection of creepy dolls and horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She has strongly-held and oft-expressed beliefs about the origins of the Black Death, the X-Men, and the need for chainsaws in daily life.
No, I’m not caught up on this series (but let me tell you how hard it was to make this post without accidentally reading the summary lol) but I have a deadline now! #7 is next for me and I’m loving this series so I’m determined to get caught up so I can start waiting for the next installments like a normal person.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?

I love this author and really enjoy urban fantasy although I think right now it’s my least read genre (bummer). I can’t believe this is #12. Guess if I’m ever gonna dive in, I better do so soon. I know so many people really enjoy this series.

I had no idea this series was on #12 already! I fear I’ll never catch up, but one of these days I’m going to read the first book to see what I’m missing😁

YES YES YES YES YES. Ahem. Just a wee bit excited here. Already preordered this one, but this is the first time I read the synopsis (and since you haven’t, I won’t comment on the details, even though I’m screaming on the inside.) Book #7 is one of the best in the series! Although (no spoilers) it probably made me the most anxious and upset while reading of any of the books in the series. Man, I love these books!

hahaha Thank you for not commenting. I NEVER post about books so far into a series I’m in the middle of (because ya never know, sometimes you don’t make it to that point) but I made an exception. Because I’m totally reading all of them. 🙂
