Merry Gentry

A Faerie Princess leads a double life as a Los Angeles private eye in this erotic urban fantasy series from best-selling author Laurell K. Hamilton.

In Los Angeles, she is known as Meredith Gentry, a private investigator who specializes in crimes of a supernatural nature. But she has another identity. To those in a certain circle, she is Princess Meredith NicEssus of Faerie, who fled the High Court years before and has been in hiding ever since. Her cousin and rival for the Faerie throne, Prince Cel keeps trying to kill her. And her aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, is determined to use Meredith as a pawn in her own games. While vowing to keep her distance from royal treachery, Meredith finds herself drawn back into the dangerous world of the Faerie High Court. When she’s not eluding assassins, she's busy bedding her immortal guards, with the aim of conceiving an heir. Then, there’s her demanding day job in the mortal realm.

Laurell K. Hamilton is a best-selling author perhaps best known for her Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels. In Meredith Gentry, she delivers a series for adult ears only. One Audible listener describes it as “a wild ride,” while another raves: “It contains all the aspects I crave—Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Action, and Humor—sprinkled throughout each climaxing novel.”

Prolific narrator Laural Merlington performs seven of the nine audiobooks in the series, while Charlotte Hill and Claudia Black each take on one installment. In a low, entrancing, and slightly gravelly voice, Merlington handles erotic scenes and action sequences with equal grace. She voices Faerie Court nobles, murderous queens, immortal guards, human police, and assorted goblins with effortless ease. The recipient of several Earphones Awards, Merlington has recorded more than 100 audiobooks, including works by Margaret Atwood, Alice Hoffman, and Kristen Hannah, and directed at least 100 more.
