In Be in the Serpent by Seanan McGuire, Toby's shocked to learn a friend has been an enemy in disguise all along. Trouble is coming to Faerie and the debts of the Broken Ride are coming due. You'll want to set some time aside for this one, because the ending will have you grabbing the next.
McGuire never ceases to amaze me. Twist, turns, and f@%kery await you in this story that left me spellbound. As this is urban fantasy, spoilers may be present. It is best to read/listen to the October Daye series in the order of its release.
Toby is settling into married life and a full house. It's a change, but one they are all ready to take on. She is on a bit of a break, but we all know that never lasts long. Things are about to go very wrong when an old friend turns out to be an enemy. Everything Toby thought she knew was wrong, and she's about to battle for her life and those she loves.
Holy Revelations. The story opens with a note from the author informing us that the events in this story had been planned from the beginning of the series. I didn't heed that warning nearly enough. Take time for this one. Turn off your phone, don't answer the door and, for goodness' sakes, have the next book handy.
I screamed, paced the floor, and become emotionally involved. I wanted to kick some butt. This story took some dark tones, and in fact is darker than previous stories, so be prepared. Some characters surprised me and others, well, pissed me off.
Mary Robinette Kowal once again narrates and does a brilliant job with these characters and story. I highly recommend listening.
