Publisher Description

You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye. In the fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own, I have confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin’s treachery and malevolence, and honored my duty to conceive a royal heir—all for the right to claim the throne. But I turned my back on court and crown, choosing exile in the human world—and in the arms of my beloved Frost and Darkness. While I may have rejected the monarchy, I cannot abandon my people. Someone is killing the fey, which has left the LAPD baffled and my guardsmen and me deeply disturbed. My kind are not easily captured or killed. At least not by mortals. I must get to the bottom of these horrendous murders, even if that means going up against Gilda, the Fairy Godmother, my rival for fey loyalties in Los Angeles. But even stranger things are happening. Mortals I once healed with magic are suddenly performing miracles, a shocking phenomenon wreaking havoc on human/faerie relations. Though I am innocent, dark suspicions of banned magical activities swirl around me. I thought I’d left the blood and politics behind in my own turbulent realm. I had dreamed of an idyllic life in sunny L.A. with my beloved ones beside me. But it becomes time to wake up and realize that evil knows no borders, and that nobody lives forever—even if they’re magical.

    " this was good - I like the fariy/She idea and even read out of order easy to follow but too much soft porn for me. "

    " I'd hoped Hamilton had changed her ways after the wonderful last novel of this series. But she reverted back to porn with this travesty. "

    " How can a series so beautiful fall. Divine Misdemeanors is slow, boring, devoid of those wonderful, colorful and magical scenes ... even the sex so intense and acrobatic of the previous books became marginal. As it was for Anita Black, Merry thinks and talks too much and the plot does not justify the many pages. I'm really sorry but I do not believe that more will follow this series. "

    " This book was definately too short. LKH touched on some really intersting plot points but then never fully explored them, such as a new sithen in L.A. I still enjoyed the book, especially since she went back to the west coast and they are once again involved with solving crimes for the Grey Detective Agency. How Merry interacted with the human poplutions was one of the things that drew me to this series in the first place. Over all I am sad the book is over and I have to wait a whole year before she will likely publish the next. "

    " FABULOUS!!!! I am ready to reread the entire series just so I can fall in love with Merry all over again. I guess because I read Merry first I like her above Anita. I can not wait for what waits next for Merry! "

    " I don't know why I felt obligated to read this. I have this idea that I need to read an entire series if I've started it. I'm giving myself permission to stop reading this one if it continues. "

    " I didn't like this one as much as the rest. Maybe she should have stopped after Swallowing Darkness. I mean, it was good, but there was still too much sex with whomever and it just seemed lame. What is there left to do if she isn't taking the crown? "

    " I should have stopped at the last one of this series. It felt like this book was a lame attempt to continue the series when maybe the last book was its conclusion. I won't be reading the next one that comes out. "

    " I really liked this book. I have read the series, except for Swallowing Darkness, and I loved the first few books. Then it seemed like the stories were being lost in favor of sex scenes every few pages. This book is more like the early ones - it is balanced and has a lovely story line. "

    " Not as good as some of the others. I still enjoy the characters, but the stories are getting a little flat. I would like to see more variety in the sstories. "
