Now in hardcover, the twelfth installment of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling Toby Daye urban fantasy series! 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 Jazz can't sleep, Sylvester doesn't want to see her, and worst of all, Tybalt has withdrawn from her entirely, retreating into the Court of Cats as he tries to recover from his abduction.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. Two questions remain: 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.

Amazing as always! This one got me in the feels. Loved it!
I love the October Daye series. I loved this book in the series. I like that the endings are not all happily ever after. That there is some mess left over for the characters to work out. That is life. I loved the novella from Gillian's point of view at the end.

“Um, this IS Toby,” sald Quentin. “We're always about to die. When we're not about to die, we're still about to be about to die. She's like a Rube Goldberg machine whose only job is generating .life-threatening situations.”

Woah okay Seanan McGuire, way to dig deep and grab all my heartstrings and then yank brutally on them. There are so many feels in this book and for so many characters. I have felt a lot of things during the course of this series but I've only cried twice, and both times involved the same somewhat surprising catalyst character. Oof. What a good one. At this point I'm wishlisting every McGuire I don't already own.
