Product Description:
I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie, onetime private investigator in the mortal world. To be crowned queen, I must first continue the royal bloodline and give birth to an heir of my own. If I fail, my aunt, Queen Andais, will be free to do what she most desires: install her twisted son, Cel, as monarch . . . and kill me.
My royal guards surround me, and my best loved–my Darkness and my Killing Frost–are always beside me, sworn to protect and make love to me. But still the threat grows greater. For despite all my carnal efforts, I remain childless, while the machinations of my sinister, sadistic Queen and her confederates remain tireless. So my bodyguards and I have slipped back into Los Angeles, hoping to outrun the gathering shadows of court intrigue. But even exile isn’t enough to escape the grasp of those with dark designs.
Now King Taranis, powerful and vainglorious ruler of faerie’s Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime–and has gone so far as to ask the mortal authorities to prosecute. If he succeeds, my men face extradition to faerie and the hideous penalties that await them there. But I know that Taranis’s charges are baseless, and I sense that his true target is me. He tried to kill me when I was a child. Now I fear his intentions are far more terrifying.

- Wow... what the heck was that?
Let me start off by saying that I've read a Laurell K. Hamilton book in the past and was not impressed in the slightest. However, I decided to give her another chance thinking this may be something worth reading. A Lick of Frost is nothing but an over-indulgent pile of rubbish. The dialogue is amatuerish to say the least, the characters are one dimensional, the plot is just plain awful, and the sex isn't even appealing. I mean, who wants to have sex with gremlins through a mirror? A MIRROR?! Come ... Read More

- More plot than most of this series has had in the last few books
Ah, the next book in the Meredith Gentry series (book #6 if you want to keep track).This is a series that I read because I like reading about the Seelie and Unseelie courts.I am not sure why else I read it.The plot is complex and interwoven and the characters interesting.Meredith herself is an interesting contrast of personality traits.Like most of Laurell Hamilton's books I think I can best review this by breaking it down into the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Rating: - My favorite Merry Gentry book!!
(Very Mild Spoilers) This book was awesome!! Def. my favorite of the series, i even liked it better than Swallowing Darkness. The ending was so sad I actually cried, but I was really happy too. The whole ordeal with King Taranius and the rescue was excellent. The whole book was just a great read.

I could not put this book down! I read it in less than two days. Laurell Hamilton is one of the best authors out there and I recommend the Meredith Gentry series to anyone who loves the supernatural.
