For you Anita Blake, vampire hunter fans, I just finished Laurell Hamilton's
latest book. I really liked it but I am a fan. Richard and Jean-Claude are
very minor in this book but we learn a lot more about Edward. For those of
you who do not read this author, she is pretty violent so this would not be
a good suggestion for that YA vampire reader that we've been helping
recently. Hamilton usually adds a goodly amount of sex as well but this
novel is lacking in that aspect.

The excerpt at the end of the book refers to her next novel due out in
November. Sounds like she is starting a new series and leaving Anita at home
for awhile. Called "A Kiss of Shadows" , the main character is Merry Gentry
(formerly of the court of fairie and being searched for by them for
extermination) now a Private Investigator for the Grey Detective Agency:
Supernatural Problems, Magical Solutions.

I started this book last night and read until I was
drooping over the pages. It's great so far. I enjoy
Edward's character.

I recommend this series to readers who liked J.D.
Robb's "In Death" series.

The next series looks interesting, as well.

By the way - J.D. Robb's "In Death" series is still alive and kicking, so to
speak.

Hear, hear!! I started reading this series based on DorothyL feedback and I
love it. Anita has great moral dilemmas to work through, especially in this
book. I haven't finished it yet, but I can hardly put it down to come to
work. I'm looking forward to getting Jean-Claude and Richard back in the
action, too.
Kaite, if this is your first Anita Blake book, please go back and read them
in chronological order. Anita has really evolved into a mature character.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Actually, I think Laurell Hamilton has written other Merry Gentry books,
too. (If not, then she has some OTHER fantasy series.) Like the Anita
Blake books, they have always been published in paperback editions. Maybe
this will be the first hardcover of that series, too.

No, according to the Laurell Hamilton official website , this is the first
in the Merry Gentry series.
