Next in my catchup of this game is the 1st book in Hamilton‘s Merry Gentry series. A magical realism/paranormal romance series, it‘s set in a world where the Fae are real and living among us. The Unseelie Court live in an underhill on the border of Illinois & Missouri. After fleeing the court in fear for her life, Princess Meredith returns to find a husband & become heir. What can I say, I‘m a sucker for the Fae🧚🏼♂️
My first check-in for the #MarvellousMay #readathon & I‘m doing much better than expected! I got about halfway through The Murder Rule before a combo of headache,eye strain & fatigue forced me to stop, so I pulled out my now “vintage” iPod & started the tagged book, which is a total comfort reread. Fingers crossed I‘ll finish both by tomorrow🤞How are you guys doing?

I really enjoyed this one. At the end it does start to tip more into porn than I care for but there is a plot running through it, which is about all I ask in a romance novel.
Looking forward to the next one once it's ready for me through the library.
I've been a huge fan of Laurell K. Hamilton for years but have only ever read her Anita Blake series. Boy oh boy have I been missing out 🤣
Don't know exactly why, but #Maneater made me think of the first Merry Gentry book.
This pic shows the German edition, which I bought for a friend.

1. Any time reading is a pleasure. I refuse to feel guilty about it. But ... to answer. I‘ll say the Merry Gentry series from Laurell K. Hamilton.
2. All those dramas! Give me a good cry and I‘m happy. I can watch The English Patient over and over.
3. Desserts of all kinds.
4. Everyone!!!

#CoolBooks #FairytaleEdition #day1 #Fairy I have so many Fairytale retellings, books about fairies or books that have fairies in them as side characters, but the Merry Gentry series is the most reread of the lot. I‘m total trash for these books, they‘re my #guiltypleasureread for sure. Mostly about the Unseelie & Seelie Sidhe(the ruling class of fairy) there‘s also plenty of pixies,🧚🏻♀️sprites, pukhas & troes. And sex. Lots & lots of sex.😳
pickThe first couple of books are great dark romance after that I lost interest. It‘s worth reading the beginning few.
I love romance/erotica but I have never been able to wrap my head around fantacy. I'm in the 3 chapter it's a slow start. And I'm trying really had to under stand what's going on magically. I'm really hoping to get more onto this! I want to be challenged with new genres.

This is a paranormal romance, which is the first in a series which is quite popular. I found it kind of meh. I don‘t remember much of what happened (I read it almost 20 years ago!) but that the sex was quite graphic (and scandalized my young self) and pretty gratuitous and non-essential to the narrative.
pickThis was the first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt was #blushful... Good old half human, half fairy Merry Gentry and her cadre of lovers. It's my guilty pleasure read because it's absolute smut but it's sooo entertaining. If you're into that kind of thing, there are 9 books in the series...
⭐⭐⭐⭐

#UncannyOctober #day21 #Exasperation🙄No author but Laurel.K.Hamilton can make my eyes roll so hard they feel like they're falling out of my head! The Anita Blake series started off so good when it was about executing vampires, raising zombies & solving cases, then she had to impose her life onto her book characters. I don't care who or how many she chooses to have in her life, but when her books become half plot, half porn, we have a problem🙄
#UrbanFantasy #PrinceOfDarkness
Most urban fantasies I've read contain an element of darkness. In the Merry Gentry series by LK Hamilton Merry is a princess of darkness and needs to find her prince to become queen.

#booktober #day29 #supernaturalbeings I love my vampires& werewolves but I'm a sucker for a good faerie story,especially ones that are based on the Celtic version of the High Fae,the Seelie Sidhe & the Unseelie Sidhe.I know these are romance disguised as paranormal,but it's the descriptions of the courts & the specific deities that keeps my interest.The powers are nature based & the worship of a mother goddess are very pagan & based on real tales.
Fourteen chapters in and I'm not only loving this book, but also inspired 📖💕. If you loved The Anita Blake Series and have been hesitating or looking for something different to dive into. DO IT !
