Product Description
Amazon.com
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 eight 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 for the uninitiated; newcomers should begin with the first novel, A Kiss of Shadows. --Cynthia Ward --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Addicted to Laurell!!,
This review is from: Seduced by Moonlight (Meredith Gentry Novels) (Hardcover)
You know when you're becoming slowly addicted to an author when you buy their books sooner and sooner. You know what I mean - you find one in a second hand book store and really enjoy it. You buy a couple more in the series in a Buy One, Get One Free Offer; you buy the rests of the series in one go just 'cos it makes sense'; to buying the large paperback and then, oh no, you HAVE to buy the Hardback cos you can't wait any longer!!I am addicted to Laurell.I bought this book because I am also addicted to Merry. And Darkness. And Frost. And Rhys (God, what I would give to meet a real life Rhys!!!) And it didn't disappoint. From the time I opened the first page, I literally fell into the world of the Sidhe - the rest of this world ceased to exist as I devoured the latest tale of Merry Gentry and her path to, well, who knows where?! It was a stupendous read - lots of sex, lots of magic, amazing energy. it takes you another step further along the road of this magical realm, and leaves you begging for more. If you haven't read the first two in this series, get them NOW. But I know that I will be buying the next Laurell K Hamilton as soon as it comes out here in the UK, and I congratulate Ms Hamilton on such an intensely pleasureable series. WOW!

This is the third book in this series and I am already looking forward to the fourth. The plotting is superb and keeps the reader in page turning mode right up to the last. The only problem that I had with this book is that it left me wanting more and that is not a bad thing.Even although this is a fantasy world Ms Hamilton makes the reader believe that it is real. Her characters are real people not cardboard cutouts and as a result we care about them and what happens to them. I thought the Anita Blake series was good but the Meredith Gentry novels outshine them by a mile. Why is this? Perhaps because there is less angst and soul searching in the Gentry novels, whatever the reason, read and enjoy. It will undoubtedly add to your enjoyment/understanding of this character and her world to read the first two novels in the series, not only that but re-reading them is a delight too. I have read the books four times and they are still fresh and entertaining. If you want an entertaining read that transports you to a different more magical world then I thoroughly recommend these books.

This review is from: Seduced by Moonlight (Meredith Gentry Novels) (Hardcover)
I liked this book more than Caress of Twilight. Unlike the first two books, there's no mystery or investigation in this book. The first half of the book is filled with new and regained powerful magic for Merry and her men in Los Angeles. The latter half of the book takes place at the Unseelie court and is full of ten new guards, two new goblins, politics, a duel, assassination attempts, more scary Andais, and a great ending. My favourite part of Laurell K. Hamilton's books is that the heroine, by being an honorable, protecting, courageous person, gets ahead in life. Merry's responsible, humble, sheltering nature turns more and more guards to care for her more than the Queen. I liked the ending in particular because it was very tender and shows Merry's old guards easing the new guards into the very different culture of guarding Merry, which the old guards seem grateful for as a reprieve from the Queen's tender care. The book heavily hints that the next books in the series will cover their visit to the Goblin Court and the Seelie Court, and Merry keeping her bargain with Sholto. I've read it 3 times in 2 days, and now I'm re-reading the entire series again. I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommended.
