Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Stroke of Midnight comes “[a] sexy, tension-charged dark fantasy mystery" (Locus).

“I’ve never read a writer with a more fertile imagination.”—Diana Gabaldon

“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. . . .

A confession: When I tell you thatI'm doing something really interesting and intellectual (reading theory, writing something new, learning to cook Indian food), I'm probably lying. (Most of time.) What I am actually doing is reading one of these horrible books and eating pretzels, periodically cajol......more

Meh.... There are good and bad sides to being a very thorough and articulate writer. The good side is how very detailed the fictional creatures are. It is easy to get a good mental image on all of the amazing fae creatures that are described in the books. And, they are really intriguing. But, the bad......more

Goodreads review by Kathryn on May 15, 2010

Second book: still trashy bordering on decadent, still packed with flowery prose, still moving at a snails pace. I think the whole book moved ahead about five days. Some of it I liked. Hamilton comes up with some beautiful descriptions, and the confrontations can be pretty satisfying (Meredith's mirr......more
