NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Meet Merry Gentry, paranormal P.I., and enter a thrilling, sensual world as dangerous as it is beautiful, full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, and ruled by the all-consuming passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods . . . or demons.
Merry Gentry, princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime. But now the queen’s assassin has been dispatched to fetch her—whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Merry 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.

"The first book in the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton. This book is an awesome start to a different series by a very good author. Very different from the beginning of her Anita Blake series. This series involves the two courts of the fey. Highly recommend reading these they wont disapoint!"
— Wendy (4 out of 5 stars)

A Kiss of Shadows Listener Reviews
-
" Not as enjoyable for me as the Anita Blake series; not about vampires - fairies instead (the enchanted kind, not the homosexual ones). Plenty of sex and violence (and sexual violence) though. "
— Wes, 2/15/2014 -
" I really like this book. This is just as good as the Anita Blake stories!! "
— Stephanie, 2/11/2014 -
" Very strange but I liked it. She seems though to be making sex the big theme in her books. "
— Shannon, 2/10/2014 -
" I loved the whole series and am hoping Laurell Hamilton will publish a new book in this year. "

" if you like anita blake, you will enjoy merry gentry: fae private eye...goddess of fertility? on a deadline to reproduce. "
— Michele, 1/27/2014 -
" This series is a lot like the other series she writes the sex is just about the same, the men change and they are faeries so i guess in a way its different but it reminds me of Blake. Its readable if you like her other stuff if you dont you will not like these i have read all the way up to 7... "
— Julieanne, 1/18/2014 -

" One of my favourite series "

" Porn princess seeks plot. "
— Jonathan, 8/21/2012 -

— Leslie, 8/10/2011 -
" This book is not for me. I was fine until the middle when it just went down hill from there. I don't think I will be reading this series. "
— Jacqueline, 7/22/2011 -
" I think the Gentry novels are a little oversexed and underplotted. "
— Drew, 6/18/2011 -
" Sexy faery books. #1 in a series. I just kept buying book after book on my kindle. Good bedtime reading. "
— Teresa, 5/23/2011 -

" Another really cool, strong female protagonist. "
— Donna, 5/11/2011 -
" Picked this up because I was promised that where Anita Blake starts well and devolves into bad porn, this series starts as bad porn and gets better.<br/><br/>It seems okay for what it is? "
— Teddy, 5/6/2011 -
" Entertaining fantasy plotline with some not-altogether-vanilla erotica (tentacle sex, anyone?) "
— Kairon13, 5/1/2011 -
" this took too long to realy get into, the first half spent most the time explaining stuff and not much going on "
— Mandy, 4/29/2011 -
" I was hoping for some early Anita Blake awesomeness in this series, but this book jumped straight into the sex. It was still interesting and there is a decent storyline but I was disappointed that there wasn't more action. "
— Genesis, 4/26/2011 -
" A 5 star read! My imagination was overloaded. Everything was so creative. The words, world building, character, everything. "
— Karen, 4/25/2011 -
" As a huge Anita Blake fan, I didn't really know alot about Merry. But after reading book 1 in the series, I can say that I will definitely be reading the rest! There's the pre-requisite holsters, weapons and men. Merry is very different to Anita though and I look forward to getting to know her. "
