The Kiss of Shadows is the first book of the Meredith (Merry)Gentry series. Meredith is a faerie princess turned private investigator in a world where faeries are known to the general public, She takes on the pseudonym "Merry Gentry" to hide from her family and her past while hiding out in Los Angeles, California as a private investigator fearing the continuous assassination attempts on her life thinly disguised as duels, flees the Unseelie Court in a final act of self-preservation. The series chronicles the return of Meredith to the Unseelie Court by way of an invitation sent by her Aunt Andais, the Queen of Air and Darkness in the form of her right hand, Doyle, also known as Darkness. She is given men from the queen's own guard, her Ravens, to guard her body and fill her bed as heir to the throne, provided she can conceive a child before her cousin. Later Merry adds to her collection of men first by taking the men offered to her by Queen Andais, as well as forming alliances with the Demi-fey and goblins. And let me tell you, Merry was such a breathe of fresh air compared to Anita Blake. Merry never had pissing contest and needless arguments about what needed to be done... she just did it. And when she was offered advice, she evaluated it intelligently before making the ultimate decision. I truly enjoyed this series... and once you read it, I don't think you will pick up the Anita Blake series again. I just now wish LKH would stop focusing her energy on Anita who still hasn't learned a darn thing and continue this series... she has left so many things open with MerryRead full review

I really do enjoy the writing style of Laurell K. Hamilton. I'm a big fan of her Anita Blake books . It was no surprise to me that I would love this one. Great read!!!!!
Very good book, highly recommended for a good story, but not for the faint of heart. The book does contain very graphic love scenes and violence. The story is excellent and captivating.
I just love her work. I already have her stories in hardback. My hardbacks, I do not share well with others. So, I am buying the paperbacks to share.
