Did you that fairies like to have sex? I didn't either. Turns out it's pretty much all they do. They solve a crime here or there, try to kill each other to gain the throne, and they have lots and lots of sex.
A Caress of Twilight is the second book in a series of disgusting fairy porn books in which every kind of magical creature lives in LA and is super horny. There's some kind of political intrigue between members of various courts and ancient races of blah blah blah. And then there's more sex. You see, in order to get a fairypregnant she has to have sex with everybody she meets for about a year, ergo couplings of all kinds are encouraged and described in great detail.
There's even a parasitic twin attached to a dwarf that can't talk but has fully functioning genitals. Have I talked enough about the sex? Because I want to ram this point home. Laurell K. Hamilton writes erotica about weird creatures. That's it.

Acrannymint at 5:38pm EST on 02/22/12 Reply w00t!My offering - reviewed. Haven't even listened yet and I am thrilledI read the first one but was too cheap to pay it (over 15 hours) so I looked for one that was under 15 hours. I loved this, it made an otherwise crappy day.Sarah's right. She does sleep with Sage in a later book. Also, the first book is pretty much all world building and just a fraction of the sex in this book. If you think this book is bad, you should keep reading the series. It gets exponentially worse each time.Hate to say it, but the one syllable pronunciation of "forte" is the correct one. The pronunciation "for-tay" is the result of a confusion between a one-syllable French word for "strength" (which is where the English word derives from) and an unrelated but identically spelled Italian word for "loud". The two syllable version is correct since the confusion is so widespread but the one syllable is considered more correct by most dictionaries. The classic descriptivist/prescriptivist debate. Insert a "The More you Know" graphic here. I shall now go back to listening to the podcast.I think I have found my next project for you....once you resume sponsorships.I'm a big fan- got my coworker addicted to you guys a while back, and now we both really want you to read the first book in this series. C'mon, it has an Amazon review titled, "The guy had tentacles! There's something wrong with that!".Thanks! It would be really weird to read them in reverse order. If it gets sponsored we'll definitely read it. If not, I can't promise.
Get It!
