What this book is about
The second Merry Gentry novel continues Hamilton's adult faery series, in which Merry, a fey princess working as a private detective, must become pregnant to take the faery throne before her cousin Cel can claim it. Hamilton's faery series is more explicitly erotic than the Anita Blake books; the sexual content is graphic throughout and the violence is significant. For adult readers of Hamilton's work.
