Rosemary and Rue

I've heard such good things about this series and I even REALLY liked this author's book Feed. So, during a book hangover after reading Lake Silence by Anne Bishop (seriously that series kills my desire to read anything else), I noticed the library had this book in and I found myself interested in reading it. I'll pick up anything I'm interested in reading during a book hangover. My excitement began high and slowly dropped after chapter 4....

October Daye is supposed to be this awesome PI. She's done this and that and become blah blah blah, yet the whole time she is going through this mystery and trying to survive, she doesn't prove it. In fact, it seems she is the last person of everyone she knows to realize who the murderer is. Seriously...

Because of all the almost dying for no reason and the little investigation actually done, I'm not a huge fan of this book. There were times I was bored.

Yet, I liked the world and some of the side characters. I'm super upset about what happened to one of my faves :( but it is the characters and the this world of faerie which made this 3 stars instead of 2 and is swaying me towards reading the next book– perhaps it is another series that just needs time to warm up.
