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.

A Lick of Frost (Meredith Gentry, Book 6)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Confused
Comment: This is the first one of the series that I have read, but I don't think I will read anymore to try to figure out what is going on. This book is just weird and doesn't make any sense and I even if I had read the other books I think I would still be confused and how she is prego with so many fathers my interest went downhill from there.

Summary: LKH getting back on her game?
Comment: Well not quite - this book still has some of the flaws the last LKH books have had. Too much sex and long-winded conversations. Still the plot actually moves along in this book which hasn't happened the the MG or AB books in quite a while. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for down and dirty sex, but enough is enough. Lets hope she keeps moving back towards real substance in her writing because I miss original LKH style.
