Also, pay extra attention to Marcia.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I am about to start chapter three, but I will catch up with you. I liked the section about the wild dogs.

He is definitely one of my favorite characters. I also feel fairly safe that he'll be okay (not die, not turn/be bad) because McGuire is very cautious/careful of her portrayal of trans people. If she were going to make him bad/kill him off, we'd have at least two other trans characters, I'd think.
I finished the book (I actually finished two books: yay for not sleeping? ), and plan on starting the next soon. However, I do have another book that I'll have to get read fairly quickly, so I won't be in any hurry.
I love that Toby just creates havoc wherever she goes! I'm really curious about the "queen's" name now.

Tell me when you start the next one, and I will start it as well.
Indeed! Toby rocks!

(Just a warning: I will either fly through the book, or be really slow; there's some extra stressful stuff going on, so I can't really predict. )

I will probably start it tomorrow, after finishing my current book.
No worries! I hope all will work out for you.

@Gravy, where are you in the book? I am halfway through and enjoy it very much. This series does keep getting better and better with each new book!

A murder is a nice change from the kidnapping of kids in her previous works. I wonder what are the Luidaeg's plans for Toby in respect to the Selkies.
Toby does hold a grudge! I hope she and Sylvester will resolve their issues. Their alienation is tiring.

No rush!
I actually liked the slow beginning (quite a change). The slumber party was cool.
