2.5 Stars.
I would have probably liked it more if I hadnt already read every Anita Blake book - reading A Caress of Twilight just felt a little redundant when it came to dialogue and the storyline itself felt like it could have easily taken place in Anita's world. Just swap out fey politics with vampire politics and you you really wouldnt be able to tell the difference, other than Merry and Anita have different personalities. I do find the world LKH created interesting and the characters themselves are also interesting, so I will probably return to the series somewhere down the road, just not immediately.

Like with the previous book I am here for a wild and weird time, not a particularly good or well written time. If anything happens to Kitto I will be so mad. I am extremely invested in how the boyfriend squad continues to relate to each other and work out their different roles in this polycule? Love hexagon? I think Merry should keep developing even more gruesome powers and be allowed to do whatever she wants forever. Also I’m starting to think she might not be as mortal as she thinks she is, given that everything else she knew about her magic abilities up to this point was wrong.

I stuck with the series to see if it would improve - so far it hasn't, I wouldn't say this book was as bad as the later Anita Blake books though.

I love, the characters, in Merry Gentry most of all they deserve a 5 star they are each so unique, the story line at the moment is o.k... the imagination is brilliant.
I cant really appreciate reverse harem so it does ruin it a little for me as i don't understand how one person can be spread so thinly both physically and emotionally.
Another part that lowered the score for me was all the, deals Merry was trying to strike and playing with words, its fun on occasion but i felt a great portion of the book was spent talking in riddles and not enough story was being shed.
I LOVE Frost, Doyle, Galen and Rhys!!!!!!
The ending was brilliant... I wish we could have seen something of Sholto too from the previous book.
I loved the fact we got a glimpse into the Seelie courts and am fascinated as to the ending what does it all mean?.... Look forward to next book, definitely worth a read

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

So much better than the first novel! This one sucked me in so that I couldn't put it down until I was done. I can't wait to find out what happens with Merry's new powers and her harem of men. :)

The book just didn't capture me the way the first one did. I remembered really liking Laurell K. Hamilton's work when I was in my teens, but now that I'm older, it just doesn't do it for me. I'm not invested in the characters or the (very) loose plot.
