Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

3.0

I wish there were half stars.. I really did like this book, and will definately read the next, but it was sad! October "Toby" Daye, is a changling, half human, half fae. She works as a PI and is hired by the King to find his wife, and daughter after they were kidnapped. She tracks the kidnapping back to the Kings brother, but not in time to avoid being turned into a fish. After 14 years she finally breaks the spell, only to discover that her husband and daughter want nothing to do with her after her disappearance. They are human, and she can't very well tell them she was a fish all of that time. That was just the first of many losses that Toby faces in this book, and hopefully things will get better for her. The cat/sidhe guy, (can't remember his name) he is a real jerk to Toby, but I think it's similar to the pulling hair stunt boys do in first grade. Maybe something there, maybe not.. We shall see!

I really hate what happened to Dare, she was a little firecracker. Even though her brother lived, I just don't think he will be as interesting. Devin is a, well let's just say he deserved what he got. I also like the Ludeig (sp), I hope she doesn't kill Toby because they would make good friends!
