A Lick of Frost


Have I ever mentioned that I am a HUGE fan of Laurell K Hamilton's? Well, I'm telling you now: I AM A HUGE FAN!!!
Book 6 of the Merry Gentry Series "A Lick of Frost" was interesting. Something was always happening!!!
So, the main point up until now is that Merry Gentry who is half human half fairy, has a mission: to get pregnant first in order to get the throne. the queen is her aunt, Andais.
So through all these books, you're being introduced to new characters. First she has her wing men (Doyle, Frost, Rhys & Galen (I might be forgetting someone) ). Anyways, she has also brought in a goblin Kitto, Sholto, and also Mistral.
Now, she has bedded these guys plus a couple more. Not only is she trying to get pregnant, but these guys plus the faerie seethen is gaining power. Power that has been taken away centuries ago. (It's like one big soap opera for the housewife . . . hehehe).
Ok, now that I brought you up to date I will go on to the book. Book 5 Mistral's Kiss, Merry's wingmen get charged for rape of a seelie in her uncle's court. While talking to the lawyers, she is also talking to her Uncle Taranis through a mirror. All the lawyers & officers are starting to realize that he isn't all there in the head. And before they know it, Taranis is attacking everyone in the room through the mirror.
Doyle (pronounced Dol) is the one actually injured while others were able get away with some burns and scratches.
She then goes on to make a deal with the Goblin twins (Holly and Ash) to sleep with them so they can gain power.
When they met up (Merry, her men, Holly, Ash & the Red Caps . . . you'll have to read about them :) ) something happens. Frost, Holly, Ash, and the other guys (just some), were knocked out. But Frost didn't recover. He ended up turning into a Stag. Which he didn't really die, he's just in another form. But will return between a few years and a century).
Merry is so upset that she had lost Frost, she goes out to get some air.
And I will leave it at that. But I will tell you this. Yes, she finally does find out she pregnant. WITH TWINS!!! But you will also have to find out about this pregnancy. There's a HUGE twist ;).
Laurell K Hamilton's books are always a page turner. There are Anita Blake fans, and there are Merry Gentry fans. I am a fan of both :).
But coming from someone who is not patient, I am finally happy to find out that she is pregnant and next in line to be Queen. After book 6, and no patience, that goes to show how good of a series this is.
I totally recommend this book if you like mystery, fantasy and sex.

You can check out her other books on her website.
