A woman who could be her twin greets Toby at the door. She says is her Fetch, a spirit that will take her to the lands of dead. Does this mean Toby dies? Oh, great!

And, then the children begin to disappear. Children of two of friends' children are missing while a third, still breathing, doesn't wake up. Now Tybalt, king of the Court of Cats, tells her about those who vanished from their group, just disappearing where? Toby needs - just needs - to find all the missing. Half-Fae and half-human, Toby is an investigator with powers to accomplish such a task. To do so, she finds herself going up against Blind Michael who heads the Wild Hunt, a fearsome amd scary encounter even for her.

It was great to see some fascinating characters from previous novels appearing to help Toby, including Luidaeg, Quentin, a talented teenager, and Lily whose specialities amaze Toby. Joining them is May Day whose appearance usually can mean disaster. Will it this time? I recommend other readers choose this October Daye novel and check it out for themselves. I rather liked it.
