 “My name is Meredith Gentry, but of course it’s not my real name. I dare not even whisper my true name after dark for fear that one hushed word will travel over the night winds to the soft ear of my aunt, the Queen of the Air and Darkness. She wants me dead. I don’t even know why.”Meredith Gentry, Princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, living as a P.I. specializing in supernatural crime. But now the Queen’s assassin has been dispatched to fetch her back–whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Meredith finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt’s plans. The job that awaits her: enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful immortal men in the world. The reward: the crown–and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty for failure: death.   less

As a free download, this was an decent novel, being the first in a series, it does leave you wondering at the end, but not enough for me to purchase the next in the series.

Well, I always thought that I would like to be a fairy princess, but I am changing my mind now.  Apparently they do nothing but have sex and melt people.  How boring.

I think I might like this series even more than her Anita Blake series. I love the character: she smart, practical but a little dangerous and I find that the author doesn't get stuck describing the setting and scene as much in this series, for which I appreciate because they always kind of bored me. I'm definitly going to keep reading

This book was a doozie but quite enjoyable in the same breath.  It is very far out there so it isn't a read for everyone.

Awesome first part of the Meredith Gentry series! Introduces the reader to all the favorite characters and leaves behind questions that are only answered in (GASP)the last book, so must read!

The first book I've read in several years that I haven't been able to put down.  The Character Meredith is Captivating, and the entire story revolves around her and her strange life.  I was told to read this book, being told of the hot and steamy sex scenes.  While there were some, I expected more (which will obviously be more of in the rest of the series).  I thoroughly enjoyed...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and hope that the rest of the books will be as wonderful.   hide
