Publisher's summary

You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye. In the fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own, I have confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin's treachery and malevolence, and honored my duty to conceive a royal heir - all for the right to claim the throne. But I turned my back on court and crown, choosing exile in the human world - and in the arms of my beloved Frost and Darkness.

While I may have rejected the monarchy, I cannot abandon my people. Someone is killing the fey, which has left the LAPD baffled and my guardsmen and me deeply disturbed. My kind are not easily captured or killed. At least not by mortals. I must get to the bottom of these horrendous murders, even if that means going up against Gilda, the Fairy Godmother, my rival for fey loyalties in Los Angeles.

But even stranger things are happening. Mortals I once healed with magic are suddenly performing miracles, a shocking phenomenon wreaking havoc on human/faerie relations. Though I am innocent, dark suspicions of banned magical activities swirl around me.

I thought I'd left the blood and politics behind in my own turbulent realm. I had dreamed of an idyllic life in sunny L.A. with my beloved ones beside me. But it becomes time to wake up and realize that evil knows no borders, and that nobody lives forever - even if they're magical.

The narrator lost me.

I was catching up on the series. However this narrator lost me when she pronounced Doyle as Dole. So many of the voices were similar that it was hard to stay focused. in no way did I believe this to be the voice of a 33yr old woman.

The story is very LKH. So the pace is consistent for the Merry Gentry series. Having the polyamory be a part of the storyline is encouraging for those of us in the real world. I'd be hesitant to pick up the next one if it's the same narrator.

Great Book!

Love this series! The new voice actor does a good job with each character's voice, but you can hear moisture in her mouth as she talks as Merry.

journey is home

love it. so very brilliant ,amazingly descriptive. makes you want more after every chapter. the journey is worth the time. to enjoy a world of sexy , romance and true magic.

always so imaginative!

This one had more unnecessary sex as filler again (how many times can she "spill over") but the story was still a very good one. Really enjoying this series.

Great series

Least exciting if the books so far. But I love the series. Looking forward to the next one.

So So Very Delightful

This was another brilliant Meredith book by Hamilton. I just wish the next one was narrated by Merrlington as well, she does the separate characters spectacularly!

I love Meredith.

I've read /listened to every book in this series and have enjoyed all of them, even this one, even though it lagged a bit for me (did she really have to have sex every time she saw one of her men????), but it was still worth the credit for me.

Bravo

What an excellent chapter in Merry Gentry and gangs life. Can’t wait to listen to the next book! A shiver of Light ❤️

Very Well Read

What made the experience of listening to Divine Misdemeanors: Meredith Gentry, Book 8 the most enjoyable?

I found Laural Merlington to be an excellent narrator. She was able to portray numerous characters by altering her voice. It was also wonderful to hear some of these words said aloud, I wasnt sure how they were said.

Great book
