Books 2010: 144
144. Sharon Lee, Carousel Tides.
A modern-day fantasy. When her grandmother fails to return her calls, Kate Archer returns to the Maine sea-coast town where she was raised, to find said grandmother's property deeded over to her and grandmother gone, with no one knowing either where or when she might return. While she looks for her grandmother, Kate's murky past returns to bite her, to say nothing of encounters with magically-protected drugrunners, etc.
This is quite a brilliant fantasy. The sense of place is very strong, and both Kate and the interaction between magic and the mundane feel to me both real and believable. I enjoyed it extremely, recommend it without hesitation, and devoutly hope there will be a sequel.
