Toby is half fae, half human and in the first book, <i>Rosemary and Rue</i>, she is trying to figure out where she fits. The books take place in San Francisco and are populated with some fascinating characters. I whole-heartedly recommend them.Darlynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-33269191588768681532011-10-18T15:58:45.051+01:002011-10-18T15:58:45.051+01:00Also meant to ask, what are the Toby Daye books li...Also meant to ask, what are the Toby Daye books like?

It's basically a virus that reanimates bodies, which then happen to act like zombies in George Romero films. Probably makes no difference, though, does it? ;)rosario001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-187809939462482462011-10-17T17:00:54.611+01:002011-10-17T17:00:54.611+01:00I bought Feed because Mira Grant is also Seanan Mc...I bought <i>Feed</i> because Mira Grant is also Seanan McGuire, whose Toby Daye books I enjoy immensely. Although this book is still in my teetering TBR pile, I hope to get to it soon.
