false 30243 14 The third novel in Laurell K. Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series, <I>Seduced by Moonlight</I> continues the story of Merry Gentry, a mortal Faerie princess hiding in L.A. Her aunt, the immortal and insane Queen of Air and Darkness, has ordered her to compete with her cousin, Prince Cel, in making a baby. Whoever produces a child first wins the throne of the Unseelie Court. But Merry still hasn't conceived--and that's not her only problem. Unknown assassins seek her life; her magical powers are becoming potent and uncontrollable; and her sadistic aunt has just commanded her to return to Faerie.<p> 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 8 of <I>Seduced by Moonlight</I> 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; newcomers should begin with the first novel, <I>A Kiss of Shadows</I>. <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 3341458 book 2004 Seduced by Moonlight (Meredith Gentry, #3) total:3547|5:1275|4:1104|3:833|2:268|1:67| 3547 13893 4525 83 2 1 false false Wed May 02 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 01 07:07:28 -0700 2008 Mon May 26 08:14:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 30 22:21:19 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 06 08:09:02 -0800 2007

Plenty of blood, sex and magic. We're just missing the sugar. But it was mostly blood. People talk a lot about how much sex there is in these books, but I really think there's more blood than anything.

This was a let down from the other two stories in the series. In the two previous books there was actual plot.
