Publisher's summary

"I am Meredith Gentry, P.I., and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Faerie. Now there are those among us who whisper I am more. And who can blame them? I've awakened the dazzling magic that's slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can't figure out why.

"My aunt, Queen of Air and Darkness, is no longer distracted by her sadistic hobbies. Her obsession has turned unwaveringly to me. The mission to get me pregnant and beat my cousin Prince Cel to the crown is taking longer than expected. Even though I spend each night with the Queen's Ravens, my immortal guards, no child has come of our decadent pleasures.

"But something else is happening. My magic courses through me uncontrollably. And as I lock my half-mortal body with their full-Sidhe-blooded ones, the power surges like never before.

"It all began with a chalice. I dreamed of it, and it appeared, cool and hard, beside me when I awoke. My guards know the ancient relic well - its disappearance ages ago stripped them of all of their vital powers. But it is here with us now. My touch resonates with its force, and they're consumed with it, their Sidhe essences lit up by it.

"But even as they cherish me for this unexpected gift, there are those who loathe me for it. Me, a mongrel, only half fey and part mortal. The Unseelie court has suffered for so long, and there are some who would not have it weakened further by an impure queen. My enemies grow in number every day. But they do not know what I am capable of. Nor, for that matter, do I."

Critic reviews

"Hamilton's trademark mix of the personal and emotional along with the sexual will as usual delight her fans....yet another tour de force ending." ( Publishers Weekly)

Doyle, not Dole!! He is not a damn pineapple!

I love this book, I read it when I could see to read. this edition is terrible. she does not know how to pronounce the characters names at all!! It ruins the rythem of the story mentally correcting her.

The story is great. The performance dreadful!

What happened?
It's like the artist forgot the first few books and decided to just do her own thing. It was distracting and very disappointing. DoYle is Dole? WTF? She slaughtered at least 10 names in this reading. Not to mention the baby creepy voices and everything else wrong in this "adaptation"? Beyond disappointed in the reading. Now to the good part. If and I mean if... you can get past the performance the story is great! More men. More magic and more Merry! I would recommend just reading this one old school style. I did first and it loses something in the oral interpretation of this.

WHy did the characters name pronunciation change

If you could sum up Seduced by Moonlight in three words, what would they be?

Okay so the performance is irritating in that she is suddenly pronouncing everyone's names differently; I found that to be very irritating.

Good listen

I’ve read the full series before listening to it on Audible. I love the story but am disappointed that the narrator is inconsistent with the characters’ names.

great time

love the book this is the second one I have got through auto book and I love it.

damn yall..

finished too fast. there was some repetition in the description and plot holes in the story. but the ending really got me going so its sad to see it end so soon ♡ the voice actress is amazing

pretty irritated

I'm pretty irritated that the narrator suddenly starts butchering all the names in this book that she''d previously pronounced correctly, what the heck happened? Other than that very distracting and weird change which makes it almost intolerable to listen to, it's great. Love this series, wish the narrator had not screwed up so badly.

New narrator

The narrator in this book does not know how to pronounce the names of the characters.
The first two books in the series were the same but this 3rd book while a good book is distracting when she can’t pronounce the names correctly so you don’t know who she is talking about... had to look at my paper copy to figure out who she was talking about.
The book overall was good, I like the series this author has some great books!

something is different

the pronunciation of the character's names is different in this book than the previous 2. its hard to follow at first till you get used to the new names. overall the biokmis great! and the new voices are even better when switching between characters. its just saying their names different that was weird.

Names

It’s DOYLE not dole like fruit… the other names I can understand being a bit off but every time dole was said I cringed
