A Caress of Twilight

A Merry Gentry Novel, Book 2

De: Laurell K. Hamilton

Narrado por: Stella Hunter

“I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne—if I can stay alive long enough to claim it.”

After eluding relentless assassination attempts by Prince Cel, her cousin and rival for the Faerie crown, Meredith Gentry, Los Angeles private eye, has a whole new set of problems. To become queen, she must bear a child before Cel can father one of his own. But havoc lies on the horizon: people are dying in mysterious, frightening ways, and suddenly the very existence of the place known as Faerie is at grave risk. So now, while she enjoys the greatest pleasures of her life attempting to conceive a baby with the warriors of her royal guard, she must fend off an ancient evil that could destroy the very fabric of reality. And that’s just her day job. . . .

Best Fae & Sidhe fiction series

Looking to get the third one on audiobook. can't wait to find out what happens next.

Hamiltons ability to juggle multiple characters without them seeming duplicated

This is one of my all time favorite book series and reread the whole set every couple of years

Good to be back

I haven’t listened in a while to this series and I can say I’m glad to be back
Looking forward to next read and say well worth the credit

love the remake

I first fell in love with this series when I read the books then I naturally wanted them on audio however the first rendition of the audio version had me questioning why I had loved the series then I seen it was re-released and I was like let me try it out...so much better I'm back in love definitely worth getting again I'm anxiously waiting for all the rest. This narrator is awesome her voices are really well done and she sounds the part( unlike the first rendition )...conclusion worth the credit 😀

just wow?

the narration performance for this is phenomenal, I've read the whole series and in book one had the original narrator, it's like night and day! i wish I didn't have to wait for the remaining books to be redone! A must listen even if you've already read or listen to other narrators

An OG Dark Paranormal series gets a great new narrator!

I am a big Merry Gentry fan, and I’ve been with the series since the beginning. It’s dated in many ways, but continues to be super entertaining? And I’m very invested in the central characters.

It’s closer to Erotica than Romance, so bear that in mind.

That said, Hamilton has created a vivid and original world, steeped in folklore, mythology and history, but with a unique take.

This narrator for these re-releases is so much better than the previous narrator, who did a fantastic job with Queen Andais, but struggled with most of the male voices — just not at all sexy — and sounded far too old to be Merry.

It almost feels like listening to a different series. I know the story well, and am anticipating favorite scenes and lines, but it’s a fascinating glimpse into how different a story can feel with a different reader/interpretation.

Hopefully this re-release means that a new Merry Gentry book is coming soon. PUBLISHER, PLEASE RE-RELEASE THE FULL SERIES WITH THIS NEW NARRATOR. I will absolutely re-purchase each of the titles as they are released ♥️

All the different magics!

Love all the characters and voices of each, can’t wait to listen to the next book!

Unexpected

Every time I listen again
I remember why I love this series
The characters are so well done

I love Frost and Dole

amazing continuance of book one. the idea of expanding the magic through experience and contact like a cold, was perfect.

The Magic

I really loved this! Really love the uninhibited love/sex/lust, unashamed, frequent and productive. On to book 3!
