“I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne—if I can stay alive long enough to claim it.”After eluding relentless assassination attempts by Prince Cel, her cousin and rival for the Faerie crown, Meredith Gentry, Los Angeles private eye, has a whole new set of problems. To become queen, she must bear a child before Cel can father one of his own. But havoc lies on the horizon: people are dying in mysterious, frightening ways, and suddenly the very existence of the place known as Faerie is at grave risk. So now, while she enjoys the greatest pleasures of her life attempting to conceive a baby with the warriors of her royal guard, she must fend off an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality. And that’s just her day job. . . .

3.5. I like this series.I get why so many people don't like it and find it strange and odd, why they don't like the character and what and how she does stuff. But I, for one, like plots that are a bit strange, those books that not everyone likes. The complex lore, the weird history, the logical-but-heartless kind of thinking. This is that sort of series. If you like that, continue with the books. If not, well, there are a lot of books out there that you will love! :)I'm in love with Fae, Fae politics, and sexy smutty Fae...but this one fell a bit flat on the later and heavy on the former. Merry is a Fae Princess and heir to the Unseelie throne but she needs to conceive a child to lock her place on the throne down. Luckily, she's the Princess of Flesh and sexy time is kinda her thing. She has a host of hot Fae bodyguards and lovers and the first to knock her up becomes her King. I mean, not a bad lot in life. She also happens to be a private detective (this
The Good: This series is very addictive. Merry is a wonderful main character - tough in her own right, intelligent but always learning more, open to new experiences and fully embracing where her life is heading. She's also a realist, understanding her situation and the ramifications of her choices. A Caress of Twilight doesn't spend a lot of time rehashing the events and world-building from A Kiss of Shadows, which I appreciate reading the books one right after the other. But, if a lot of time
Book 2 of Merry Gentry series. Satisfying enough sequel to the first book.One criticism I have is that the titles of these books are two romancey generic. I don't like it. That said, this book had all of the tension and excitement of the first. It moved along a little more quickly because there weren't many location changes or exposition. I do think that the first one was more satisfying overall, but this one kept me interested in the direction of the story and thirsty for more!Once again, major
(Original review, graded 1-3)Summary (2): Most sequels especially movies, but book series as well fall apart because success breeds imitation. If the original had one car chase, then having two car chases will make it twice as popular. Two steamy sex scenes? Lets make it four!Of course, that gets boring, so the second reason they tend to fall apart is that they keep upping the ante for the same game. If in the original the problem was a threat to the entire city, have the sequel be about a
3 1/2 stars. Still thinking on how I feel about this series and if it's worth it to continue.
I couldn't finish this book, it was too too annoying. 1- If the whole point of you sleeping with a bunch of dudes is to get pregnant, WHY ARE YOU NOT TAKING TESTS OR PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU?!!? It's obvious (distracting) that the main character is preggo throughout this story and we're all waiting around for her dumb ass to figure it out.2- If your magic vagina can heal two different men (one with a very old "injury") in the first novel, why can it not heal the other
