Book Description

Publication Date: July 29, 2009

A Stroke of Midnight: I am Meredith Gentry, P.I., solving cases in Los Angeles, far from the peril and deception of my real home - because I am also Princess Meredith, heir to the darkest throne faerie has to offer. The Unseelie Court infuses me with its power. But at what price does such magic come? How much of my human side will I have to give up, and how much of the sinister side of faerie will I have to embrace? Mistral’s Kiss: I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of fairie. Princess has now become a full-time occupation. My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in fairie - trapped here with some of the realm’s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards…and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. The only certainty is death at the hands of my cousin Cel, or his followers, if I fail. A Lick of Frost: I am Meredith Gentry, princess and heir apparent to the throne in the realm of faerie. King Taranis, powerful and vain-glorious ruler of faerie’s Seelie Court, has leveled accusations against my noble guards of a heinous crime. 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.

My first real step into audio CD's and I've enjoyed it very much. I already own and had read the three books in this collection but being able to put them on and listen to them while just relaxing or doing a minor chore was well worth the cost. I enjoy Ms. Hamilton's work and have read most of her books but I would suggest that someone not familiar with her stories be wary that there is a considerable amount of explicit sexual content. Not recommended for younger readers (it is fantasy - a favorite topic of that set) but older teens will find nothing shocking in it.
