Book Reviews of A Caress of Twilight (Meredith Gentry, Book 2)
Book Review: Adjustment Period
Summary: 5 Stars
Princess Meredith is heir to the Unseelie throne. She is under pressure to produce an heir to secure the throne. She was given five Royal Guards to try and do thus. Galen, Rhys, Frost, Nicca and Doyle. I adore Frost... him and Merry have this attraction and pull to one another... they start falling in love... but this story isn't about love. Its about getting pregnant, the father will become Merry's husband and King. Everyone is getting use to having their geas of celibacy lifted for Merry alone. There are feelings and routines that have to be adjusted to fit everyone in the picture. While this adjustment goes on, Merry continues her work at the private security/detective agency. There are mass murders happening in LA and great evils released from the Unseelie/Seelie courts.
This book is very fast paced, full of action, mystery, secrecy, lust, attraction and magic. Every ones powers are exposed and expanded. This is an excellent paranormal romance/paranormal erotica. I'm re-reading this series, I miss how the earlier books are written. I rarely re-read books so that's a vote of confidence.
Summary of A Caress of Twilight (Meredith Gentry, Book 2)
?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. . . .
From the Paperback edition.
Faerie princess and private detective Meredith Gentry juggles love, sex, intrigue, magic, and more in this witty and sensual novel from Laurell K. Hamilton. Merry has her hands full: she's desperate to conceive a child and thereby claim the Unseelie throne; she's the target of intrigue from both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts; her newest client is an exiled goddess with a secret that could get them all killed; and a hideous fey force that alarms even her formidable lover-warriors is loose in Los Angeles.
A Caress of Twilight is infused with Hamilton's characteristic appealing blend of sex, magic, wit, and romantic dilemma. The mystery takes a back seat to the concerns of Faerie power and politics, making the book less balanced, but Merry's growth in leadership and power, along with a bang-up ending, won't leave fans disappointed. Readers new to Hamilton might be advised to start with A Kiss of Shadows or the extremely popular Anita Blake series. --Roz Genessee
