Sadly, Sue the T-Rex Does Not Make an Appearance. But a Very Good Boy Does

August 13, 2018 by LittlePlat 3 Comments

  It’s been a while since Skin Game was published, and with no release date for Peace Talks in sight, Harry Dresen fans such as myself have been feeling a little despondent. We all miss our crazy, tall, smart-aleky wizard. Thankfully, Brief Cases has come along, and while most of the stories have been published previously, some have been hard to get, making this a very welcome release for the deprived reader. I think I’d read just over half the stories before, so  I was […]

The ninth instalment in the October Daye series, A Red-Rose Chain sees Toby have to leave the familiar environs of San Francisco and travel to Portland, Oregon, on a diplomatic mission to a hostile territory in order to avoid a war. Things have been going well for the Kingdom of the Mists since the false queen was deposed and the rightful heir, Arden Windermere, was restored to her throne. That is, until someone shoots her seneschal full of elf-shot – a declaration of war from […]

Approaching the end game…

July 30, 2018 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

Another belting entry in the Toby Daye series, The Winter Long sees Toby hit with a new threat – in the form of those she’d thought she’d already left in her past. First up comes Simon Torquill –identical twin to Toby’s liege, Sylvester, and the man who turned her into a fish for 14 years before the series began –  appearing on her doorstep, trying to apologise, giving veiled warnings of doom and spilling her family secrets (chiefly, that he’s her step-dad, something that Amandine […]

“Fruits which that unknown orchard bore; She suck’d until her lips were sore; Then flung the emptied rinds away, But gather’d up one kernel stone, And knew not was it night or day”

July 20, 2018 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

In Toby’s world, it’s been a few months since the events of Ashes of Honor, and things are going well – especially in her newly romantic relationship with Tybalt. So, of course, something HAS to come along to upset the apple-cart. This time, that something is goblin fruit. A druggy pleasure of the purebloods, goblin fruit is incredibly addictive to changelings and deadly to humans. With changelings now starting to turn up dead, Toby takes the problem to the Queen of the Mists….only to discover […]

I’m only feeling *slightly* weird for fancying a cat…

July 9, 2018 by TheShitWizard 2 Comments

It’s been a year since the events of One Salt Sea, and Toby is not a good place, having lost her lover (to death), her child (to the Changeling’s choice) and her know (although she gave that up willingly). Her friends are concerned that she has some sort of death wish – and that’s not made any easier when Etienne pitches up asking for her help. Etienne hasn’t always been as strait-laced as he seems, and 16 years ago got involved with a human who […]

Killer Whale fae? Yes please!

July 6, 2018 by TheShitWizard 6 Comments

I’m catching back up with Toby Daye, who’s settling back into life after the events of A Late Eclipse. Tybalt has done another of his disappear-for-months-on-end acts, but Toby now has a knowe of her own to take care of, and has taken up with Connor again following his separation from Rayseline.  But then someone goes and kidnaps the sons of the ruler of Saltmist, from the Undersea, tipping the factions of faerie towards war. Into the breach steps Toby, who not only needs to […]
