Rosemary and Rue
This is the first of a series of urban fantasy novels featuring the private investigator October Daye as the lead character.
Toby is a changeling – half Human and half Fae.
After an investigation goes wrong she’s trapped for fourteen years by a magical transformation. Since breaking free of the spell she’s done her best to run away from her past when she’s drawn back in by the dying curse of a pureblood friend and bound to find the murderer.
This is a really solid piece of urban fantasy with a lead character that’s satisfyingly flawed and world that has enough interesting threads to fill several more books.
Definitely recommended if you like a bit of urban fantasy.
