This week I'm featuring Night and Silence (October Daye #12) by Seanan McGuire.
Things are not okay.
In the aftermath of Amandine's latest betrayal, October "Toby" Daye's fragile self-made family is on the verge of coming apart at the seams. Jazz can't sleep, Sylvester doesn't want to see her, and worst of all, Tybalt has withdrawn from her entirely, retreating into the Court of Cats as he tries to recover from his abduction. Toby is floundering, unable to help the people she loves most heal. She needs a distraction. She needs a quest.
What she doesn't need is the abduction of her estranged human daughter, Gillian. What she doesn't need is to be accused of kidnapping her own child by her ex-boyfriend and his new wife, who seems to be harboring secrets of her own. There's no question of whether she'll take the case. The only question is whether she's emotionally prepared to survive it.
Signs of Faerie's involvement are everywhere, and it's going to take all Toby's nerve and all her allies to get her through this web of old secrets, older hatreds, and new deceits. If she can't find Gillian before time runs out, her own child will pay the price. One question remains:
Who in Faerie remembered Gillian existed? And what do they stand to gain? No matter how this ends, Toby's life will never be the same.

Night and silence - who is here?

You can say what you like about San Francisco, but one thing is eternally clear: it's a city that could only have been built by human hands.

"Do you have a plan?” asked May. “Or is this one of those situations where you charge in half-cocked and count on things to work in your favor?”
“A little bit of both,” I said. “Feel up to punching me in the nose?”
“Always,” said May.
“Um,” said Quentin. I grinned and hit the gas harder.
