“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. … 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.

Laurell k. Hamilton is the goddess of fiction and ohmagoodness everything she writes is amazing, her Anita Blake series is a masterpiece and her merry gentry books are no exception. i love the roller coaster of unexpected events that are not only giant monumental things but of the small subtle nuances as well.
This is one of those series I keep going back to over and over again. The characters are incredible. The sex scenes are HOT. The world Laurell K Hamilton has built is totally believable and the characters are relatable even as they are totally unpredictable. Join this world, you won’t regret it.
Such a good series! My favorite by far. The author also has another awesome series called thenMerry Gentry series and both are amazing.
I like this book it is the second time I have read it.
Great series. It’s been one of two romance series that I’ve read through several times (the other being Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series). The steamy scenes are very hot and imaginative, but not gratuitous or repetitive.
Loved the Merry Gentry series; very adult entertainment.
Merry gentry is a smart woman making a new life for herself. Not a YA book very steamy sex scenes
This is my first book by this author. I wasn’t quite expecting what I got. First of all, the book is a lot longer and more in depth than I thought another paranormal romance would be. Second of all, this is not your typical paranormal romance. There’s actually not much romance at all in this one. There is a lot of intrigue, assassination …
I read this series a few years ago and I loved it!
The first 7 books in the Merry Gentry Series that is.
There are 9 altogether, but after the first 7 for whatever reason she quit writing the Merry Gentry Series. I think that there were a lot of fans of this series that asked her to please continue so we could have a close to the series, yes, …
Love the book and the series
is there a rating slightly above steamy? This is the start of the Meredith Gentry series and the world building is fantastic. The story is on going and engrossing. However if you don’t want to read ALOT!!! of wild sex in graphic detail this series is not for you. The multiple partner theme can get old after say the third book but the basic plot …
Even though I’ve liked some of this author’s work in the past, this book was a big disappointment. After the first 2 or 3 chapters, I deleted it. Zero stars!
For anyone who hasn’t read Laurell K. Hamilton’s books, get them NOW. They’re addicting.
Book one in a great series. Laurell K. Hamilton at her best. I think I like this even more than the Anita Blake books.
I love this series
Great book.
It’s been awhile since I read this one, but it kept me rivetted. I have read every book in the series and love them all.
Love Merry Gentry!
The Merry Gentry series is not my favorite of Ms. Hamilton’s, but she has done very interesting things with the world building with it.
Sexy and steamy, with a side of action and intrigue.
