euphoniaMistral's Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton
Ok, so it's soft-core faerie porn. I happen to like soft-core faerie porn, so as I say, bring it on.
For what it is, it's not a bad book. The biggest problem I had with it is that it's not enough. Barely 250 pages. I literally read it in a day, and was left wanting more. For a hardcover book, that's not so great. The book was essentially 2 extended scenes. Yeah, and ok, both of them included sex. But really, for Meredith she was pretty tame in this book. Only three actual sex partners.
At least the sex has become more plot-related. Now it's all about waking the powers of the fey. But I can't help feeling that she's stretching this story out way more than it needs. And of course there's the complaints about all the impossibly pretty guys she hangs with, and how everyone she sleeps with suddenly falls for her, but hey, it's romantic fantasy.
I just wish that if she wants to write 100+ page sex scenes, she'd manage to have more than one or two of them per book. I may like soft-core faerie porn, but I'm only willing to pay so much to get my next fix.
