Summary: Utterly, and Completely Amazed
Review: This was the the first Laurell K. Hamilton book I've ever read. I wasn't even planning to read it.
Anyways Meredith is a real interesting character. She's spunky, tough, and has an attitude.
And her needing to have a child before her dastardly cousin Cel makes it more fun.
I have just recently read Guilty Pleasures from the Anita Blake series, and I am absolutely thrilled.
Can't wait to finish reading both series, but I absolutely reccomend you begin with the Anita Blake series before begining the Meredith Gentry series...

Summary: Merry and her sidhe-men
Review: Well, I am an Anita Blake fan, and enjoy that series a lot. I liked A Kiss Of Shadows, the previous novel in this series about faerie princess Meredith NicEssus, and I also liked this one, A Caress of Twilight. No doubt the Anita Blake series is the best one though.
In A Caress of Twilight, Princess Merry finds herself back from faerie-land, in her apartment in Los Angeles, where she is working as a private eye. But Merry has other things on her mind, and her detective skills are put somewhat on hold in this one. Her more or less evil aunt, the Queen of the Unseelie Court, has named Merry her heir to the faerie throne IF she produces as child before the queen's own son, Prince Cel, does it.
The Queen has given Merry a handful of men from her royal guard, and they take turns trying to impregnate Merry. Her goblin-pet Kitto also turns out to be something else in this book, and even though there is a little mystery, it is other things this story revolves around.
I still haven't found out if Sidhe, Fey, Slouagh, Seelie, Unseelie etc are real words, but the book is entertaining and easily read. There are some (toned down) sexual scenes in the book, but it is not as 'weird' as in the previous novel. I did not love this book, but I am nevertheless looking forward to read the next one.
