Great plot. another winner in the Gentry series. imaginative sexy adventurous. love it (  )fairygrl117 | Jul 9, 2009 |   It's taken me at least 3 years to pick this bookup, I also have a lick of frost to get through, I might read that next just to get it over with and off my shelf. This book was all about the hot fae sex, but if you've read this far then it's what is expected. You got a little bit of story and you know a bit more about the hopes and effects of Merry on the Unseelie Court. You may asked why I bothered reading this book, I don't hate LKH, in fact the first 9 Anita Blakes got me hooked on the whole Vampire/Urban Fantasy series. I keep hoping that it'll go back to normal, I know it won't but I hope anyway. It's like the hagen daz strawberry cheesecake love I have, I know it's bad for me and I'll enjoy it while I am eating it but will be disappointed by the time I finish it. I just can't help reading her books. (  )viciouslittlething | Jul 2, 2009 | I actually enjoyed this installment much more than I have the last couple. Instead of having some sort of murder/mystery set up in the beginning (and then be basically ignored through the rest of the book), Hamilton just let the interactions between Merry, the guards, the queen, and the sidhe's growing magic be the plot. Much better, in my opinion. (  )lesleydawn | May 28, 2009 | I did put off reading this book for around 6 months until the next one came out in paperback. I think I would have been angry had I waited a year for it, and then realized I'd have to wait another year for the next one. This book is far shorter than the other installments, not only in length of pages, but also in the way it is typeset. It is also largely composed of two or three sex scenes. Not much else happens. It always sort of amazes me when everyone gets so angry with the main character for not telling them about things (mainly the queen), but as far as I can tell, the action in most of these takes place over a matter of hours. That would be fine, except it's hard for me to accept that they're investigating a murder, having apocalyptic sex, and then having sex again after getting yelled at by the queen a time or two. That's all there is. I don't know how big a draw the plot of these actually is, but it's something I'm pretty interested in, and its disappointing it didn't move forward at all in this book. (  )ConnieJo | Feb 6, 2009 | 1  I'm not entirely sure why I can't stop reading Laurell K. Hamilton's books, but they're like cake frosting -- I always want more, but it's so very, very bad for me. For example, I'm completely underwhelmed by this book, yet I just added the two she will be releasing this year to my wish list. The best thing I can say about this book is that there's some resolution at the end (which is more than I could say about the two prior). The rest of it is pretty much sex and faerie politics. Really, this series is just thinly veiled erotica, yet I CAN'T STOP READING IT. ( )miyurose | Dec 12, 2008 | 0.038 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345443586, Hardcover)I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of faerie. My day job, once upon a time, was as a private detective in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, princess has now become a full-time occupation.My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in faerie–trapped here with some of the realm’s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards . . . and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. Yet after months of amazing sex with my consorts, there is still no baby. And no baby means no throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail to conceive. Now Mistral, Queen Andais’s new captain of the guard, has come to my bed–defying her and risking her terrible wrath in doing so. But even she will hesitate to punish him in jealous rage, because our joining has reawakened old magic, mystical power so ancient that no one stands against it and survives. Not even my strongest and most favored: my Darkness and my Killing Frost. Not even Mistral himself, my Storm Lord. But because Mistral has helped to bring this magic forth, he may live another day. If I can reclaim control of the fey power that once was, there may be hope for me and my reign in faerie. I might yet quell the dark schemes and subterfuges surrounding me. Though shadows of obsession and conspiracy gather, I may survive. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
