Merry Gentry has returned to the human world, turning her
back on two crowns in order to save herself, her men and
her unborn twins. However, Faerie may not be ready to let
her go just yet.
Like in the other books in the series, Merry's sensual
magic produces unexpected results. In addition, she has to
continue to deal with men in her life refusing to let her
be the leader she was meant to be or take control of her.
Now that she is pregnant, they are even more protective,
and most of her allies, such as the demi-fey and the
goblins, keep trying to back out of their alliances.
Finally, despite her power with the paparazzi, Merry tries
to help the police with a case where someone is killing fey
to make them look like storybook scenes.
DIVINE MISDEMEANORS is another excellent work in the series
with lots of interesting plot development.
You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of
faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye.
In the fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of
royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own, I have
confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin’s
treachery and malevolence, and honored my duty to conceive a
royal heir—all for the right to claim the throne. But I
turned my back on court and crown, choosing exile in the
human world—and in the arms of my beloved Frost and Darkness.
While I may have rejected the monarchy, I cannot abandon my
people. Someone is killing the fey, which has left the LAPD
baffled and my guardsmen and me deeply disturbed. My kind
are not easily captured or killed. At least not by mortals.
I must get to the bottom of these horrendous murders, even
if that means going up against Gilda, the Fairy Godmother,
my rival for fey loyalties in Los Angeles.
But even stranger things are happening. Mortals I once
healed with magic are suddenly performing miracles, a
shocking phenomenon wreaking havoc on human/faerie
relations. Though I am innocent, dark suspicions of banned
magical activities swirl around me.
I thought I’d left the blood and politics behind in my own
turbulent realm. I had dreamed of an idyllic life in sunny
L.A. with my beloved ones beside me. But it becomes time to
wake up and realize that evil knows no borders, and that
nobody lives forever—even if they’re magical.
