"Merry and her Merry men" *rolls eyes* have moved into Maeve's guesthouse in a mutually beneficial arrangement that provides continuous protection for the now pregnant Maeve from Tanaris (Seelie King), and roomier living arrangements for Merry and . . . her Merry men.

Weird s*** has been happening since they defeated the Nameless--the collection of wild fairy magic that Tanaris set on them in book 2. Rhy and Doyle regained powers they had thought lost forever, and everyone else gained powers they had never had. AND Merry starts dreaming of the goddess and waking up with long lost Fae relics in her bed. Long long Seelie Fae relics . . .

Eese a PROB-leemmmm.

They're also preparing for trip to the sithen (fairy mound where the Fae live) to visit not only the Unseelie, but the Goblins and the Seelie as well.

This is a 400 page book, and they don't even begin the journey until just past the midway point.

That's 200 pages of filler, people! Necessary filler, perhaps, but filler nonetheless. And even after they hit the road, there's still not a definitive plot. A couple chapters later there's another assassination attempt on Merry and that grows (and grows) into a multifaceted plot to not only take out Merry, but perhaps Andais (Unseelie Queen) as well.

Ultimately the conspirators are unmasked and executed, Merry gains MORE Merry men, and Andais's sanity is more questionable than ever.

They have yet to make it to the Seelie court, Cel is only halfway into his punishment, and Merry still isn't pregnant.

It's been years since I read this series, but I have to believe it gets better, or why would I have bothered rereading it the first time? Two books of essentially filler is two book too many. Hmph.

Seduced by Moonlight Meredith Gentry Book 3 Laurell K Hamilton 9780553816327 Books Reviews

This is the third book of the "Meredith Gentry" series, and like the first two books, the characters are interesting, the plot moves well, and it's an interesting read. If you aren't interested in a story that has graphic descriptions of sex, you will certainly want to stay clear of this series, but if you enjoy a bit of heavy-duty erotica (or perhaps a bit of soft core porn; this falls somewhere in between those two points) you should truly enjoy this one. I will say one thing that could be construed as a criticism I know that this series has at least nine books in it, and if the magical power level of the main character continues to escalate at the same rate for the rest of the series as it has in the first three books, she'll be creating her own universe from scratch by the end of book nine. But so far, while she may have grown extremely powerful, it has not detracted from the stories.
Man, what a feast for paranormal lovers. Princess Meredith is seriously pretty bad ass, and for anyone to think otherwise is just dumb.

I love the idea that is no longer a mere-mortal.....hmm....wonder if the rumors are true!?! Seems so to me, but I think we all figured that was going to come to a head eventually anyway...right....right?

So, in Seduced by Midnight...we had lots of little power trips coming along, didn't we? Nicca, bless his little heart got a boost, as well as the yummy Frost...oh and of course the mysterious Doyle....can't forget the "tiny" demi-fey, Sage....poor poor exiled Maeve Reed, also got her powers back....hmmm...anyone else?? Oh yea, Bartinthus....oops, I forgot Kitto. I think that's all...oh this was within a few days! LOL

So Meredith is slightly possessed with the powers of Danu....hence the ability to bring sidhe into their powers and/or bring their powers back.

It was kind of a power trip...LOL...totally pun intended!

Merry and her men head back to Unseelie court for a few days full of events. Well the book ended only after day 1. And a mighty busy day that was! Which included, but not limited too, an additional handful of men to which she needs to bed (including Sholto!), a duel to the death, a blood rage spell on the Queen to which she slaughters most the guard, a wet reunion with Bartinthus (hehe), an assassination attempt on Merry, and even some possession tricks.

Very intense and in depth book. I may need to go back and re-read it to really get what the hell happened, lol!
Powers are ramping up in this third book as the goddess, Danu, starts working through Merry. Via sex—she is descended from five fertility deities—some are returning to their godhead and others are getting powers they never had. The ring is stronger than it had been and a Seelie relic that disappeared long ago, is gifted to Merry by the goddess.

Merry has to go home for the winter solstice ball, mostly because King Taranis is adamant that she attend a party being held especially for her. They all feel it is a trap, but to ignore him could cause him to challenge Merry. The queen is adamant that Merry takes more lovers, especially agricultural ones and picks them out for her. There is more than one assassination attempt, and Merry isn’t their only target, making this the one of the mysteries of this story. What Taranis and Andais hope to gain by their actions is another.

Since sex is being used as a tool to bring new or lost powers back to the people closest to Merry, it’s become a larger focal point of the story. Each coupling is different enough, especially with the interesting outcomes, that it’s easy enough to accept.

We’re introduced to a lot of new characters in this story. Expect politics, action, sex and more mythology on the fey.

I personally enjoy how things are coming about, the politics, relationships, mythology and action. But honestly, I could do with a little less vivid detail when it comes to sex. Yes, sex is an important part of the story, but I prefer to fill in some details with my imagination.
