Rating:  - Surprisingly better than expected!Well I've been a fan of Merry from the start and while Anita Blake seems to have gone haywire Merry got lost in faerie politics. The reviews for this are mixed, and thats fair. There are still the usual confusing plots and alliances and I must admit that as usual I'd forgotten who some characters were! However the main storyline running through this is Merry's escape to LA away from the lands of faerie and the Seelie and Unseelie Courts with their plots and their tricks. Now that Merry ... Read More Rating:  - Enough alreadyThis book is just awful. I gave up reading Anita Blake a few years ago but I still enjoyed the MG series. Well now it has been turned into an absolute circus and I just feel that LKH has run out of steam. It is just way too descriptive, I'm fed up with the constant hair colours, eye colour, body disfigurements, endless, endless power and Merry has just turned into another Anita Blake, The Queen of Absolutely Everything! A self proclaimed goddess! not even rape by her uncle will faze ... Read More Rating:  - More magic battles and intrigueI totally disagree with the first two reviewers. Yes the rape doesn't traumatize her as much as it would a normal person, but she is supposed to be a magical person descended from a love goddess who has unborn twins genetically derived from 6 of her lovers trying to stay alive long enough to rule the fey! - surely you cant quibble about reality at this point in the series... If you like a fun fantasy with a sassy heroine, trying to deal with court intrigues, old feuds and the various ... Read More Rating: - Non stop actionSo many things happen in such a short space of time that there is no chance to be bored with this book. Everyone is still trying to assassinate Merry and her men, there are lots of cliff hanger moments and plenty of blood, but very little sex in this one. I agree with some other reviewers that the rape is glossed over, but I think this is more to do with so much happening and Merry has not yet remembered it than being ignored by Hamilton. The book left me itching to know what will happen ... Read More Rating:  - poorly written.Laurell K Hamilton's books have been getting steadily worse for a long long time. I'm still reading in the hopes that she'll start to show some of what used to make her so enjoyable again. The early Anita Blake books were quite entertaining and when the Merry Gentry series started I really enjoyed the first few books too. Sadly things started to slide when the books lost all plot and descended into almost constant sex scenes that spanned the whole entire book. I enjoy sex in books but not to the exclusion ...
