    I was hesitant on this one - knew it would be rather explicit. And I'm rather embarrassed to admit that I actually enjoyed it. It was definitely more explicit than I normally read, but so imaginative! A whole world of fairies and goblins and all manner of magical beings, yet still takes place in modern-day USA. Princess Meredith has been hiding in LA - now she's been found and her aunt, the Queen, has plans for her. Good or bad plans, and will her enemies let her survive to find out?

  • Another of Hamilton's series that used to be more gritty and has since turned into one big orgy. Not that that's a bad thing ;), but I think I prefered the series with a bit more movement and plot to it.

"All it would take was my true name being mentioned after dark, and it would float back to my aunt. She was the Queen of Air and Darkness, and that meant that anything said in the dark was hers to hear, eventually. The fact that spotting the missing Elven American Princess had become more popular than spotting Elvis helped. Her magic was always chasing blind leads. Princess Meredith skiing in Utah. Princess Meredith dancing in Paris. Princess Meredith gambling in Vegas. After three years I was still a front-page story for the tabloids, though the latest headlines had been speculating that I was as dead as the King of Rock and Roll . . ."

In fact, Meredith has been posing as a human in Los Angeles, living as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime. But now Doyle, the Queen's chief bodyguard and assassin, has been dispatched to fetch her back - whether she likes it or not. And suddenly Meredith finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt's plans . . . plans that affect the future of the entire UnSeelie Court. The requirements of the job: to enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful - and immortal - men in the world. The reward: the crown - and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty; death.
