Summary: Seelie info, lukewarm sex, and a smidge of danger
Comment: I just finished reading the second Merry Gentry books. I did like this one, although perhaps not as much as the first installment.
The Princess and co. stayed in the City of Angeles for the duration of this book. I was happy to read more regarding the Seelie court. Also, Meredith comes to the realization that she's not just a princess...she's heir to the throne, to power.
I know that Ms. Hamilton receives complaints regarding the sex in her books. Personally, I don't think that reading about hot sex, etc. is a bad thing. However, I wasn't all that impressed with what I read in TWILIGHT. The scenes with Doyle, Kitto and Galen weren't all that spectacular. Perhaps this is Ms. Hamilton's response to all the negative comments. The sex is still there, but now it's not even all that great.
It was also nice to learn a little more about men in Merry's life. I wish more time had been spent on Doyle's character. Anyway, I will look forward to reading the next installment of Merry's quest for pregnancy and thus the throne.

Summary: Another Winner from Laurell K. Hamilton!
Comment: Merry Gentry, sidhe princess and coheir to the Unseelie Court is back in this second in the series by Laurell K. Hamilton. As with all of Hamilton's books, it primarily centers around the relationship between our beautiful heroine and her bevy of gorgeous men. Oh, and by the way, these aren't just any ordinary guys, they're Sidhe warriors, elite fey bodyguards. Each one has the chance to be Merry's royal consort... if they can get her pregnant with the next heir to the throne. Let's just say there are some VERY sexy chapters in his book! The best thing about Hamilton's books would have to be the tantalizing interpersonal relationships (including romance!) that weave in and out of the narrative. The detective work Merry does as an employee of Grey Detective Agency almost seems to be an afterthought, not the focus for the plot. Even so, it was a great read and I sat down and read on into the wee hours of the night so I could finish in one sitting. I look forward to the next Merry Gentry book, and her upcoming confrontation with her cousin Cel as well as the Seelie Court. A great series, Ms. Hamilton-- keep them coming!

Summary: frustrating in the extreme
Comment: In general, I love Laurel K. Hamilton's books.
As other reviewers have noted, the plot point here is that Merry is supposed to be trying to get pregnant before her cousin Cel can father a child. Thus, she has lots of sex. My question is: why doesn't she spend some effort trying to TIME her conception? Don't sidhe ovulate? If sidhe don't work that way, I'd love to hear an explanation. Given that many (most?) of Hamiltons's readers are female, I'd think that they'd be interested in a digression about sidhe reproductive biology. Merry's failure to consult a fertility doctor frustrated me for the whole book.
I agree with other reviewers that the ending was rushed. I'll read the next one because I hope/want that it will be better, but this book was frustrating.
