Divine Misdemeanors: Meredith Gentry, Book 8

A Novel

De: Laurell K. Hamilton

Narrado por: Laural Merlington

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.

Divine Misdemeanors: Meredith Gentry

All of the Meredith Gentry books were GREAT! I'm still waiting for he next one come to come out. I wish Laurell could write faster. LOL You wont be sorry when purchasing any of her books.

Would love to hear narrated by Claudia Black!!

Captivating story, true magic, love every minute of it! Please Claudia Black narrate this book!!

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.

Great book, not great narrator

The book is great, but it sounds like it's being narrated by my grandmother...which is weird in the sex scenes. The entire series is excelent, but maybe better to read in print.

wonderful story. Both of her series are awesome! !

keeps you captivated throughout. I have been an avid reader of these for quite sometime

Laurell's stories

I love Laurell's stories, all of them, but I love Mary stories the most. This was a delightful listen.

Love you Laurel K and Laurel Merlington.

Can't wait to meet the babies! So excited. Starting number nine tomorrow. Yay! Woot Woot!

excellent!!

laural embodies merry so perfectly and gives life to doyle, frost, Rhys, galen and all the other characters. she's a wonderful narrator!

whoa there merry

I love this voice actress, she's the perfect voice for merry and she does many specific voices for the different characters.

the one problem with this book is although I love how the series moved theres the MOST sex in this book when the mystery case is a lot more interesting!
