Newest Review: ... it has to be said, if only as a warning!!! This review is about the seventh book - "Swallowing Darkness" If you ... more

 ... haven't had the 'pleasure' to come across this series of books I will just give you a bit of background on them. The vast majority of this series has contained more sex than plot (one book I read contained one sex scene that took over 90 pages to describe - that's right 90 pages!!!) Now when I tell you that one of the characters in the series is called 'Darkness' and you remember that this book is called Swallowing Darkness, you might get a slight idea of what is waiting for you should you choose to read this novel!! ...more

I love books about fantasy or supernatural, and have loved Laurell K Hamiltons books so far. When her new one, "Swallowing Darkness" was released, I had it pre ordered, and eagerly tore into it, excited to see what would happen, after a cliffhanger of a last book. Unfortunatly for me, not very much happens at all. A bit of background. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meredith NicEssus is a fairy princess. The faerie world has never treated her particularly well however. Her Father was a Prince of the Unseelie court (widely considered the darker court of Faerie), and her Mother belonged to the Seelie Court. Having both brownie and human blood ...  Read the complete review
