For once, everything seems to be going well in October "Toby" Daye's life; she's engaged and there have been no murders or declarations of war for her to deal with. Of course, in Toby's life, nothing is ever simple for very long. On the night of her bachelorette party, Toby's mother appears at her door, demanding that Toby find her missing sister, August. And just so Toby gets the message, her mother takes Toby's fiance and one of her close friends as hostage.
With no idea of where to start, Toby calls on an old friend for some guidance . . . and then quickly realizes that some pretty deep sacrifices will need to be made if her sister's going to be found.
This series is one where it makes the most sense to start at the beginning. If you jump in here, at book #11, you'll have a bit of backstory on a few people, but not really enough to understand what's going on in the story or the world that McGuire has created for this series. I like this series, although I can sometimes get a feeling of predictability. However, McGuire always throws in a twist or two and I enjoy the world and the characters, so every time there's a new book, I pick it up. I may not always remember some of the more convoluted storylines/characters from past stories, but I still make my way through the books pretty well.
