Story started when merry was summoned by his aunt, Queen of the Unseelie court, Andeas, Queen of Air and Darkness. She told marry that she will be stepping down as queen. That who ever gets her a grandchild first, will get the crown. The race will be between marry and the Queen's son and merry's cousin Cel. Cel, is a lunatic perse that would make his mother, andias.. look sane. And we are talking about extreme BDSM here. That sometimes Andias gets carried away that her BDSM activity turns into something that you can watch in any saw movie. Now, since the story revolves around merry and cel getting pregnant, expect a lot of sizzling fae sex in almost all the pages of the book. If Anita blake series fan complained about the recent sex marathon in its books. In the gentry series, on its first book its been sex sex sex already. WOW.. *giggles* talk about all kinds of kink, i think you can almost find it here. However, Merry has been a busy girl trying to get pregnant, shes also busy trying to defend herself. Enter Frost and Doyle, the queen's Darkness and Killing Frost. Best Ravens (queen's personal body guard). They were given to merry by the queen for her safety. Unlike any monarchy politics, there are a lot of sidhe that doesnt want her to be the next week, afraid that it will be the death of thier race if a half human half sidhe will claim the thrown. So... assasins is always at bay. Then there's her cousin who will do anything just to get the thrown. Then later in the books, Taranis, king of light and illusions and King of the seelie also wants marry to be her queen since he heard that marry was able to give back a sidhe's godly powers that they have lost millions of years ago.
Underneath all those sex, fae politics and sex again. Not only am I hooked up to the series because of its sizzling sex but also that fact that LKHamilton did a lot of research about the sidhe people. (thats celtic mythology for you) The great hunt, the nightmere, every sidhe folklore she put life into it in modern times. And just like her ABVH series, This series is I think closer to truth when it comes to celtic myths and folklores. Some might think its a waist of time, that its just all about sex. No really if you see pass the sex in the story.You could find loyalty, friendship and love in the context of its story.
I love this book, this is #2 best paranormal series in my list. #1 is her Anita Blake Series. ^_^ I am so addicted to LKHamilton that my lick of frost book copy is a collector's edition. Well almost all my LKHamilton's are 1st editions. What's so special with Lick of Frost is that my copy is autographed by LKHamilton herself. *sighs dreamyly*
The next installment of the series will be coming out in November. For now the series is in its 7th volume, 8th including the one to be release in november.
