Diana at Fresh Fiction reviewed Late Eclipses, and says, "The October Daye series is gritty and glittering urban fantasy at its best and Late Eclipses is no exception." Short, sweet, and to the point. I like it!
Leslee at Night Owl Reviews made Late Eclipses a Top Pick! She says, "Every time I finish a book in this series, I think 'Oh, that was the best one! It can't get any better than that!' and then I get the next book. Ms. McGuire continues to improve on perfection with each volume." I think I may frame that quote and put it above my bed.
Tori the Book Faery reviewed Late Eclipses, and says, "Unlike past books, Late Eclipses has the perfect balance of action and investigating, and thus, was a book I was unable to put down." Rock and roll!
GlamKitty at The Literate Kitty (owner of a lovely bluepoint Himalayan) posted her review of Late Eclipses, and says, "Late Eclipses is chock-full of everything I can’t get enough of in this series." Also, "Bottom line? I am beyond thrilled with this latest entry in what is, hands down, my absolute favorite urban fantasy series." Glee!
Finally (for now), Rachel at Geek Speak Magazine has posted her review of Late Eclipses, and says, "Madness abounds, especially among those enemies, and Toby is caught up in a morass of political machination and unjustified vendetta that makes for a fast-paced, breathless, and ultimately very satisfying read."
That works for me.
Here's to tomorrow, to good reviews, to successful releases, and to me getting more caffeine before I'm forced to rampage. Happy Monday!

I totally agree with this. Each book just gets better than the previous one.

So my housemate, the one who I've been luring in by lending her my books, was bemoaning the fate of many series she enjoys, and how they often peter out or run out of ideas. I shared with her the many non-spoilery things you've shared with us, like that you know how it ends, and you can end the series within one book if you have to.
We had a very enthusiastic exchange about all the things we liked about the Toby series, and she wound up declaring you're a genius. I couldn't argue with that. I told her she should start following you; she does have an LJ.

I am pleased. :)

I think Rosemary and Rue had a pretty good balance of action and investigating. But ALH was more investigating, and AAN was more action, so I'm also looking forward to a more perfect balance.
Political machinations? Unjustified vendettas? My favorite kinds of machinations and vendettas!*
*This is untrue. I actually prefer justified vendettas.

(Not done yet, but I think this is my favorite since the first one.)
