Like "Guilty Pleasures" also written by Laurell K. Hamilton; this was a gift from my husband on my birthday. That was in late May and I am on the 5th book in this sreies. This was a wonderful read. A Faerie Queen, a Faerie Princess and magick and all the fantasy one can stand or not. And the steamy days and nights and being transformed to hill tops and meadows just by a simple kiss...oh my get a fan you will need one when reading this series. I could'nt put it down.

A KISS OF SHADOWS
I LOVE ALL OF THESE BOOKS ABOUT THE FAERIE PRINCESS & HER SEXY ESCAPADES. I AM SETTING UP A LIBRARY THIS TIME, BECAUSE THIS IS THE 2ND OR 3RD READING OF THESE BOOKS. I ALSO LOVE OTHER WORK BY THIS AUTHOR.

Erotic Fantasy at Its Finest
By now, almost everyone has heard of Laurell K. Hamilton and her Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. If you love those novels, give this series a try. Meredith Gentry is a private eye with a firm in California that specializes in magical solutions for their clients. Her limited talents leave none of her colleagues suspecting that she is in fact Meredith NicEssus of the Unseelie Court, a real fairy princess who has run away from the court after several attempts on her life. As Meredith's magical gifts increase, she is summoned (sort of) back to the court and presented with a surprising proposition from her aunt, who rules as The Queen of Air and Darkness. In this book Hamilton continues her extraordinary way of challenging perceptions of familiar concepts. She takes the cute, wonderful fairy world we were all told of and turns it on its ear. These fairies would be far more likely to slit your throat than grant you a wish. Meredith herself is in constant conflict in this world. She wants to be a good person, but understands that to survive she must be as ruthless as those who wish her dead. Whether you are a fan of LKH already or just discovering her for the first time, this book should be on your immediate reading list.

I like some of the author's early Anita Blake series and thought this might be interesting. It was OK, but not much content. Fun, if you aren't looking to think.

It was spellbinding
Just like all of Laurell Hamilton's books it just keeps you turning the pages. I read all of the Anita Blake novels and had to find more of her books. You will love it, the heroin, Meredith, is witty, smart and ofcourse, sexy. Her aunt, the queen, dislikes her but needs her to continue the bloodline. Meredith must come home ,after 3 years of hiding from her aunt who tried to kill her when she was 6, to choose a husband. But the conditions for finding a husband, and ultimately the king to her queen, are much more than what she bargained for. You will love it and want to read all of Laurell's books as i have.
