| Silverblind by Tina ConnollyAdora "Dorie" Rochart, who made her debut in Ironskin, returns in this 3rd series installment, after Copperhead. Although Dorie is half-fey in a society that doesn't trust her mother's people, her primary obstacle to finding employment is her sex: no one will hire women as field biologists. Using her gift of glamour, she disguises herself as a young man in order to study wyverns. Although Silverblind's narrative is darker and more romantic than Marie Brennan's whimsical Memoirs of Lady Trent series, it should nevertheless appeal to readers who enjoy alternate-world Victorian settings and female protagonists defying convention to pursue scientific research. |

| Hot Lead, Cold Iron: A Mick Oberon Job by Ari MarmellHaving walked away from his former role as a fae prince, Mick Oberon now works as a private eye in 1930s Chicago, making him uniquely qualified to track down a mobster's missing daughter -- who's "missing" in the sense that she was replaced by a changeling 16 years ago. Mick's cold case heats up quickly as his search takes him to the Otherworld, where he must confront his past and strike a dangerous bargain with high-ranking members of the Seelie Court. For more hardboiled noir fantasy, check out Chris F. Holm's Collector series (beginning with Dead Harvest) or Ian Tregillis' Something More Than Night. |
