It's been five long years since we last heard from Princess Meredith NicEssus, Princess of Flesh and Blood, and her numerous very dreamy, very sexy men. As a Laurell K Hamilton fan I have been waiting anxiously for the next book in the series and am so excited A SHIVER OF LIGHT is here.

In the last book Meredith and her Darkness Doyle gave up the crown of Faerie in order to save the Killing Frost and Meredith was pregnant with twins. After waiting so long the worry that the book will not live up to your waiting is always there, but I really like the way Laurell K. Hamilton handled the transition period in this book.

Princess Meredith has the babies and its more than just twins. Each baby is special and wonderful in its own Faerie way. Laurell K Hamilton acknowledges the fact that women and their bodies are not just back to normal after having a baby. In A SHIVER OF LIGHT Hamilton waits before allowing Princess Meredith to jump into bed and get back to her normal workout routine. But don't worry have faith in Princess Meredith she finds a way to keep a smile on everyone's face.

The book is not about babies and lack of sleep alone. It has Doyle, and Frost and Galen begins a transition as he becomes a father. The Queen of the Unseelie and the King of the Seelie still need to be dealt with. The King is trying to claim the babies are his and the most terrifying faerie in history, The Queen of Air and Darkness is trying to play nice. People are trying to kill Meredith and her men. They have to deal with all the personalities of their strange and wonderful family.

The spread of magic around Meredith and faerie continues to grow and people regain powers long thought lost. There is lots of action, royal faerie court intrigue, love and loss. Princess Meredith is going to suffer a loss she won't quickly recover from that is going to change how she is seen and what she becomes.

I Just love Laurell K. Hamilton's characters, they make you wish just one of those men could be real. Don't miss A SHIVER OF LIGHT it's another in the series that makes you pray Laurell K. Hamilton doesn't make you wait another five years for the next in the faerie princess saga.
