This is highly unusual as the home of the sidhe is usually off-limits to the human press. However, it is felt that it is more secure than holding the conference elsewhere. This opinion is challenged almost immediately by the deaths of Beatrice, one of the lesser fae, and a human reporter. Merry, assigned to solve the murders by her aunt, Queen Andais, opts to bring in human forensics in the hope that science might be able to succeed where magic has so far failed?and bring a murderer to justice.

(  ) fairygrl117 | Jul 9, 2009 | It seems as if these books have less and less plot the farther into the series that I get. This book, nearly 400 pages, spans one day and so many things aren't left unanswered that I feel cheated. Also, after 4 books, the sex is just boring. I find myself skimming long scenes, searching for a hint of a plot line. All that being said, I still like the characters, and I'm going to stick with them, but I hope that the pace picks up in the next book and something actually happens. (  ) lesleydawn | May 26, 2009 | Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the book that takes place entirely in one day. One of the things that bugs me most in this series is that something will happen, then the characters will have sex, then they will be summoned to the Queen to explain why it was they didn't tell her about whatever it was that happened before they had sex. On the way to the queen, somehow everyone else knows despite the fact maybe 45 minutes have elapsed. This opens with a rather ridiculous press conference, followed by the murder of a human. Since Meredith is actually a PI, she decides she'd like to solve the case herself. But how can she, when she's surrounded by good-looking bodyguards like she is? Oh well, I guess she'll have more sex. I hate myself a little for liking these so much. They're totally addictive. ( ) ConnieJo | Feb 17, 2009 | My comments on the last book in this series pretty much echo my feelings on this one: "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." Just change that last sentence to read "once I read the next one, I'll feel like the three should have been one book." (  ) miyurose | Dec 13, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
