false 30240 20 fairies are not little girls goodnight tale amymore 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.<p> <I>A Caress of Twilight</I> 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 <I>A Kiss of Shadows</I> or the extremely popular Anita Blake series. <I>--Roz Genessee</I> 3341361 book 2002 A Caress of Twilight (Meredith Gentry, #2) total:4140|5:1482|4:1332|3:936|2:305|1:85| 4140 16241 5240 113 4 7 false false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Jun 28 11:13:30 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 11:26:05 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 22:09:49 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 22:11:17 -0700 2009 A Caress of Twilight begins a few months after the events in A Kiss of Shadows.

I was actually surprised to find it didn't have as much sex as I remembered, which is nice.
