Summary: Getting Worse
Review: The first book in this series caught my interest. I managed through the second one and I couldn't even finish the third.
What happen to the story line?
Why is there more than two sex scenes per chapter? It is too much. I undertstand the character's need to reproduce, but common on! And it's not even with one or two characters, it is with almost a dozen! What happened to character dynamics?
Her earlier novels I couldn't put down. Her latest novels have been a great disappointment and I hesitate to waste my money on such garbage.

Summary: Highly Erotic Dark Fantasy -- That's Short on Plot
Review: There are 2 Kinds of people who did not like this book:There are those who, despite having read Laurell K Hamilton before, are shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that she would write such a highly sexed novel -- despite the fact that anyone who has read her books in the last 2/3/5 years shouldn't be surprised and anyone who opened the book and looked on just about any page -- shouldn't have been surprised, but still people are shocked -- and somewhat indignant as well. They write things like "Oh my GOD Laurell K. Hamilton books have lots of kinky sex" or "frankly all the sex bores me". Fine don't buy another book in this series because she has 16 men now. What do you think will happen in the next book? Then there is the 2nd level of complaint: That it's short on plot. And those people have a point. Seduced by Moonlight is short on plot -- it didn't really bother me because I saw it as something of a Robert Altman film, which is full of characters who drive the story rather than having story drive character. But this is genre fiction and genre fiction is supposed to be about plot. This doesn't have much of one. However, if you like Merry and like the universe she lives in, and don't mind lot's of hot kinky sex then you'll enjoy this book. I did.

Summary: Mildly Disappointing, but still a guilty pleasure
Review: While I will agree with a few of the previous reviewers, there was a little to much sex and too little plot in this book, it was kind of nice anyway. I'm enjoying LKH's romp through a dark, adult, erotic faerie. I think that there was indeed a good plot buried under all of the gratuitous sex, and I for one would be highly dissappointed if she stopped putting sex in her books, but I would like it if she could at least cover more than 2 days in a 367 page book. (Just a note, she did the same thing in Incubus Dreams... how about finally getting the amour under control Anita?)
All that said, I still find all of her books a great read, and my husband LOVES it when a new LKH book comes out, cause I wear him out. :-)
I would definitely reccommend this to anyone looking for a mixture of fantasy and dark erotica.
