A Local Habitation (October Daye Series #2)
I bounced off the first October Daye book because I found the character too...beat-down? I finally gave the second book a try because so many people I know love the series, and I did find this one worked better for me. Toby is more sure-footed, at lesst in the beginning. Tonally I found a strong similarity with the Kate Daniels series, which I love.
