About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Meet Merry Gentry, paranormal P.I., and enter a thrilling, sensual world as dangerous as it is beautiful, full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, and ruled by the all-consuming passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods . . . or demons.
Merry Gentry, princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime. But now the queen’s assassin has been dispatched to fetch her—whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Merry finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt’s plans. The job that awaits her: enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful immortal men in the world. The reward: the crown—and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty for failure: death.

Story
I am Princess Meredith, heir to a throne of faerie. My day job, once upon a time, was as a private detective in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, princess has now become a full-time occupation. My aunt, Queen Andais, will have it no other way. And so I am virtually a prisoner in faerie–trapped here with some of the realm’s most beautiful men to serve as my bodyguards . . . and my lovers. For I am compelled to conceive a child: an heir to succeed me on the throne. Yet after months of amazing sex with my consorts, there is still no baby. And no baby means no throne.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

My idea of a good time used to be a rom-com and pint of ice cream. But when a lethally sexy fae king kidnaps me, that changes. I’m forced to compete in a deadly competition to become his queen. Now, my idea of a good time is surviving the day. The Court of Starlight and Darkness is a gorgeous place, but I can’t stay. The Ice King's eyes burn with heat each time he looks at me, and I burn right back. The problem? He's dangerous. The king has no idea I’m human, and if he finds out, I’m dead. My only choice is to compete until I find a way to escape—and survive until then.

Story
He’s my best friends dad. But he wants me to call him Daddy. I just spent the last four years studying to become a nurse. Now I’m sitting on a mountain debt. Rather than spend the rest of my life paying it off, I find a second job where the money is too good to turn down. The plan is, become a high end escort, get a few wealthy clients and quit as soon as I make enough to pay off my student loans. Only when I knock on the door of my first client on my very first day, I would never have expected it to be him.

Chastity enjoyed being with men, especially in the bedroom. However, as soon as they left that space, her dominant personality would push them away. This was a pattern in her relationships; things were great until they stepped outside the bedroom. Leo and Chastity were close friends after college until Chastity decided to tolerate men’s possessive behavior no longer. She asked Leo out that day, and they became more than friends. With Leo, she committed to being more of a traditional woman, submissive and doting. Leo is an open book with Chastity, except for one secret he keeps guarded. He...

Great new narrator for an old favorite series
My fingers and toes are crossed in the hopes that all of the titles in this series are re-recorded with Stella Hunter narrating, which i will absolutely re-purchase as they are released. I've already stated in other reviews that the capable Laural Merlington is wildly miscast for this series -- too old for Princess Meredith, and really terrible with (most of) the male romantic leads.
Ms. Hunter, however, does a fine job in this newer recording, and I'm definitely here for it. She's the right age for Merry, and does a capable job with the male voices and various accents.
Regarding the book series itself: it's very much Paranormal Erotica, with tons of sex on the page, which becomes more frequent as the series continues. If that's not your jam, look elsewhere.
Despite the fact that the genre now has many excellent series that are better than this one, LKH was a trailblazer, and many of those newer series wouldn't exist if she hadn't paved the way. Props.
I still have a soft spot for Merry and her Many Men. I care about these characters, have mourned (later in the series) a few significant deaths, and hope that LKH plans to continue the series at some point.
I'm so very glad that it's been re-recorded ❤️

LKH classic. Love the Merry Gentry books!
The author really did some great world-building in connecting classic fae stories with urban magic and action. A different culture that’s recognizable and characters who feel real. I’m so glad the series has finally come to Audible!

Worth a listen
I wasn’t into the fact that within the first hour every guy she came into contact with wanted to, tried to, or succeeded in sleeping with her. It made the relationships she had feel less meaningful. It is an interesting story though so for now I’ll stick around and see what happens. I know she’s going back to the LA PI thing but there was definitely enough going on at court to keep me interested in that line without having any PI stuff at all. Hopefully that doesn’t ruin it.

Obsessed
I've been in love with this book since 2010. To hear it come to life so well, makes my heart so happy. Stella did a FANTASTIC job voicing all the characters and getting the accents done.

Great story but disappointed in new narration
I loved the books and previous audible and thought the new narration must be even better, it’s not. The narration is good but where are all the accents? Most of the characters are very old and have lived most of their lives outside the US and yet they all sound too watered down to make them easily distinguishable or interesting.
Unfortunately, after an hour of waiting to be presently surprised i ended up returning this version and will continue to enjoy the older version.
