Laurell K Hamilton - Merry Gentry 1-7
Aha! Thanks for meanddee96 telling me about 7 being out...decided it was time to add an entry for this epic series. :) Links in author/title list, there is a batch file with all the books for those not just looking for the one.
Laurell K Hamilton's Merry Gentry series is, believe it or not, even more hardcore than her recent Anita Blake ones. A Lick of Frost ended on a very...interesting note. (Parentage, anyone?)
"Meredith Gentry is a private investigator who specializes in supernatural crime. She has, however, a strange secret. She is in fact a faerie princess in hiding. Her aunt wants her back in the faerie world and the penalty for refusal is death."
"As long as my cousin and I both live, we are in a race for the crown: Whichever one of us reproduces first gets the throne. So now the men of my royal guard- frightening warriors skilled with blade, spell, and gun-have become my lovers, auditioning with pleasure for the role of future king and father of my child. And they must still protect me from assassination attempts-for unlike most of the fey, I am part human, and very mortal. Now, in the City of Angels, people are dying in mysterious, frightening ways. What the human police don't realize is that the killer is hunting the fey as well. Havoc lies on the horizon: the very existence of the place known as Faerie is at grave risk...."
