Great book about the faerie princess and the unseelie & seelie courts. Lots of intrigue, magic & sex. (  )fairygrl117 | Jul 9, 2009 |   Another great 1 from Hamilton. This is part of the Meredith Gentry series. Great book about the faerie princess and the unseelie & seelie courts. Lots of intrigue, magic & sex. ( )fairygrl117 | Jul 9, 2009 | I have to be honest - I was all ready to not like this book. The sex is getting outrageous and unbelievable and Hamilton has taken beyond ridiculous. That being said, the end of this book got me. My favorite part of the first book in the series was when they were in the fairie mound, and taking Merry back there and letting the reader see more of what they had lost and Merry is able to bring back is intriguing to me. I also loved how the book ended. I hate to say it, but sticking with the series because of that scene alone. (  )lesleydawn | May 5, 2009 | LOTS of sex. I read a bunch of these in a row, but I think this one and Mistral's Kiss were the ones that were mostly sex with very little plot. If I'm not mistaken, this was the volume where the sex started bring power back to the bodyguards. The fantasy elements are the real reason I read this series, so it actually was pretty entertaining to read all the different powers each of the men had back. Each one was different too, which I also thought was interesting. It's easy to pass these off as a lot of sex (which they certainly are), but the fantasy elements are extremely well done when they appear. Doyle is always my favorite, and his magical abilities or whatever made me like him a little more. (  )ConnieJo | Feb 17, 2009 | This was pretty par for the course for this series. Lots of weird sexual situations, not much plot. You really don't notice how *little* plot there is, until you get to the end of the book and realize that it only covered a couple of days. I wasn't real fond of the way this one ended ... it was very abrupt. No real resolution. I have a feeling that once I read the next one, I'll feel like the two should have been one book.

Amazon.com (ISBN 034544356X, Hardcover)The third novel in Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series, Seduced by Moonlight continues the story of Merry Gentry, a mortal Faerie princess hiding in L.A. Her aunt, the immortal and insane Queen of Air and Darkness, has ordered her to compete with her cousin, Prince Cel, in making a baby. Whoever produces a child first wins the throne of the Unseelie Court. But Merry still hasn't conceived--and that's not her only problem. Unknown assassins seek her life; her magical powers are becoming potent and uncontrollable; and her sadistic aunt has just commanded her to return to Faerie.Readers tired of mild modern fairy-tales about nice, polite elves may want to explore the Meredith Gentry series, which remembers that Faerie was originally a dark, dangerous realm of sex and violence. Hamilton's Queen of Air and Darkness is a vicious killer and torturer, and many of her fay drink blood or practice kinky sex (or both). Under royal orders to bed many males, Merry is far from averse; she and several lovers hit the bedroom on page 8 of Seduced by Moonlight and don't emerge until page 175. There's no shortage of sex, but not as much as the page count may indicate; the characters like to talk and sulk even more than they like to fornicate. The large cast and complicated backstory make this book the wrong starting point; newcomers should begin with the first novel, A Kiss of Shadows. --Cynthia Ward (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
