In the second installment of Laurell K Hamilton’s Meredith Gentry series, ‘A Caress of Twilight’ we learn more about how the fey courts and hierarchy work. We learn more about the backgrounds of the knights that Meredith has chosen to guard her and possibly impregnate her with the next in line for the throne of the Unseelie Court.
Meredith still tries to balance her new objective of getting pregnant with her work as a magical detective. There is mystery, murder and intrigue.
A woman who was banned from the Seelie Court has called upon Meredith to perform a fertility rite, so that she and the man she loves can have a child before his demise. Against all the rules of both courts, Meredith is not supposed to help this woman. But Meredith is not really good at following rules of a court that regularly has tried to kill her.
While solving the mystery of murders around Los Angeles, Meredith gets tied up in this woman’s need to have a child. In the process she discovers that she truly loves one of her guards, which will make things interesting in the future books.
I read this book several months ago and without rereading it I cannot honestly remember all the twists in it. I do recall that it wasn’t quite as overpowering as the images from the first, but enjoyable nonetheless.
