A Caress of Twilight by Laurell K. Hamilton

5.0

Truly, I just love this series... I mean, what's not to love? A kick-ass heroine that discovers more and more about herself and her abilities as she goes, that doesn't back down from a fight and I'm not even mentioning the men yet! (Doyle being my absolute favorite so far *sigh*)

For this instalment, we're staying in LA, but no worries, trouble just has a way of finding Merry :) All environments and scenes were detailed and well described, right down to all the blood clinging to Queen Anais at a certain time, lovely.

Character development was good. As I've already said, Merry keeps on learning about her abilities, about what it means to be (a possible) Queen and mostly how to handle the men alongside her. Not an easy task when they are so different. The men themselves open up more to her, some even letting festering wounds heal at long last.

Pacing and flow were really good. A great balance between conversation and action (and yes, that kinda action too!). The book kept my attention from start to finish and made me get the next instalment immediately afterwards (yes, it's just so good!).

While this isn't as bad as the Anita Blake series, there is a lot of sex described. However, not once did it feel too much or just, nope. These highly erotic books are very well written and if you don't mind a few extra partners in or out of bed... hop on, you won't be disappointed!
