Loading... A Stroke of Midnightby Laurell K. Hamilton
   No current Talk conversations about this book. I enjoy the Merry Gentry books. The worldbuilding is why I'm still reading them. I want to find out what happens to the Courts and the Queen. (  ) msmattoon | Aug 24, 2023 |  Rather disjointed writing. Reads like fanfiction. ( ) aeryn0 | Jul 23, 2023 | I am a big fan of Laurell K. Hamilton. I do prefer her Anita Blake series but her Merry Gentry series is quite good too. As usual, for her, it is a very well developed world with lots of violence. It can be a bit tricky to keep all the guys straight but in general I find the books to have far more positives than negatives. (  ) KateKat11 | Sep 24, 2021 | this entire series is awful but lord, I'd forgotten, this book was the worst. except no tentacles, and I think they make a triumphant return in the next book, so THAT will actually be the worst. (  ) kickthebeat | Nov 1, 2020 | A Stroke of Midnight begins with Merry and the Ravens attending a press conference in the sithen. 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.

HTML:I am Meredith Gentry, P.I., solving cases in Los Angeles, far from the peril and deception of my real homeâ??because I am also Princess Meredith, heir to the darkest throne faerie has to offer. The Unseelie Court infuses me with its power. But at what price does such magic come? How much of my human side will I have to give up, and how much of the sinister side of faerie will I have to embrace? To sit on a throne that has ruled through bloodshed and violence for centuries, I might have to become that which I dread the most. Enemies watch my every move. My cousin Cel strives to have me killed even now from his prison cell. But not all the assassination attempts are his. Some Unseelie nobles have waited centuries for my aunt Andais, Queen of Air and Darkness, to become weak enough that she might be toppled from her throne. Enemies unforeseen move against usâ??enemies who would murder the least among us. The threat will drive us to allow human police into faerie for the first time in our history. I need my allies now more than ever, especially since fate will lead me into the arm of Mistral, Master of Storms, the queenâ??s new captain of her guard. Our passion will reawaken powers long forgotten among the warriors of the sidhe. Pain and pleasure await meâ??and danger, as well, for some at that court seek only death. I will find new joys with the butterfly-winged demi-fey. My guards and I will show all of faerie that violence and sex are as popular among the sidhe as they are among the lesser fey of our court. The Darkness will weep, and Frost will comfort him. The gentlest of my guards will find new strength and break my heart. Passions undreamed of await usâ??and my enemies gather, for the future of both courts of faerie beg No library descriptions found. |
