A Local Habitation: Toby Daye-a half-human, half-fae changeling-has been an outsider from birth. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating to a "normal" life. Unfortunately for her, the Faerie world had other ideas...
Now her liege, the Duke of the Shadowed Hills, has asked Toby to go to the Country of Tamed Lightening to make sure all is well with his niece, Countess January O'Leary. It seems like a simple enough assignment-until Toby discovers that someone has begun murdering people close to January, and that if the killer isn't stopped, January may be the next victim.

Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series has definitely taken a spot in my heart, even though I am not a huge fan of the Fae as a Paranormal Fiction subject. Seanan writes great characters, an interesting world and stories that definitely grab my interest and have me not wanting to put the book down. After I fell in love Rosemary and Rue, I was really looking forward to the next books in the series and Seanan did not disappoint me in the least.
A Local Habitation and An Artificial Night are amazing reads that had me glued to the pages until I finished them. We get to learn more about our heroine October and see more of the Fae world she feels she doesn’t belong to. I loved getting more about Tybalt and how his and Toby’s relationship is evolving. I see a lot of potential for those two, but there is a long way to go before they are ready to be together and I can’t wait to be witness of their journey.
Seanan McGuire has a definite winner on her hands with this series, she has built such a compelling world and characters that it’s impossible not to care. I really enjoy the way she weaves the plots and doesn’t fall on common places, I always feel like she is surprising me and that is not easy to do.
I totally recommend this series to any Urban Fantasy out there, it is absolutely a must read!
