A Kiss of Shadows

A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry #1)
by Laurell K. Hamilton

Well, I admit a love and addiction to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. I love it. That being said I had never picked up her Meredith Gentry series before. I didn't know if I would like it because it deals with Fae. I have a hard time getting into books that are centered around Faeries. I have to say though I am hooked. This is really a testament to how wonderful of an author that Hamilton is. For me to be hooked on a series that revolves around the fae is amazing.

Our world, our technology, but with magic.

“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.
