ONCE BROKEN FAITH cover reveal!

With regard to the new cover jacket for the upcoming release of book 10 in the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire, I give it a "2 thumbs up." The color scheme is much as you would expect for this type of fantasy--with the flickering warmth of twilight delicately displayed--and the character's profile keeps true to her depicted courage, bravery and the seemingly otherworldliness of her features. I have pre-ordered it's Kindle release in hopes of obtaining a copy sooner, despite my old fashioned favoring toward books that I "can hold and feel in my hand."

As per the author and [her] series: I only recently discovered Seanan McGuire and the October Daye series last month, when choosing Rosemary and Rue as part of a promotional "buy 2 get one free" display at Books-a-Million. My initial read began with a bit of struggle to keep up with the various Fae lineage (despite my Irish/Scottish lineage). Admittedly, I started by reading a few pages here and there as time permitted. Yet as I began to delve further into the storyline, I was impressed with the vividity with which the author breathed life into her characters, especially the main character/hero October Daye. I felt so strongly connect to her it was as though her perils were my own. I no sooner finished the first copy, when I was back in the bookstore searching for sequels. I read A Local Habitation within a day and a half and was so compelled by the growing attracting beginning between Tybalt, a pureblood Cait Sidhe and King of the Dreaming Cats, and our hero October that I couldn't wait for the next book in the series, so I immediately ordered An Artificial Night in Kindle version around 2:00am and began reading until 5:00 am before pulling myself away. Each new edition enthralls me that much more. Had the question been posed to me a month ago, "who are your 3 favorite authors," I would have answered something along the lines of "James Patterson, Dean Koontz and J.K. Rowling." Seanan McGuire now ranks my top 3.
