Critics Review

Rosemary and Rue is one of the most successful blends of mystery and fantasy I’ve ever read like Raymond Chandler by way of Pamela Dean. Toby Daye has become one of my favourite heroines, and I can’t wait to read more of her continuing adventures.

Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison. - Publishers Weekly

McGuire knows her fairy lore, bringing the wonder and the danger of the fair folk to the streets of San Francisco so vividly you can smell the rose goblins. Action, intrigue, and a dash of romance make Rosemary and Rue a fun, engaging read. An impressive first novel that leaves you impatient for the second.
