Seduced by Moonlight

Submissive Elves Discover a Siren

Is it a Murder Mystery?  Is it a Gothic Fantasy with elves and knights? Is it an erotic fantasy any woman, or man would love to fulfill?  Its all of these and more.  Journey into an alternate universe which comes to life in Seduced by Moonlight.

Synopsis:

What woman alive would not want to be filled with a passion  so strong, so powerful, so overwhelming,  that her  pleasure totally transforms her partner  into a  stronger,  more virulent,  confident  persuasive  predominate paramour  of all undertakings?   Would she desire it each and every coupling?  Meredeth suddenly finds herself faced with this very decision!

Required to fulfill her every wish as the heir incarnate, Meridith's horde of guardian elves, dance a web of protection, lust, and passion in and out of the Unseelie Court.  All the while Meredeth reign's in her distractions to find out if her Cousin Cel has set more death traps for her.

Meredeth understands death, she investigates it for a living.  What she doesn't understand is how to investigate her budding divinity.  A gift from the Over Goddess, Danu, in the form of the Challis; then suddenly,  Meredeth has to re-learn everything she thought she already knew about sex and her own desires.  Worse yet, she learns  -- each coupling becomes a ploy for power in the Unseelie Court, and a undeniable call to the power of the Challis.

Impression:

Laurel K. Hamilton, takes the reader on a romp through the fields of sexual awakening.  Not the age old tirade about the awaking of a virgin, but the self  awakening each of us relearns as we age. She reminds the reader that every coupling is both a gift and an awakening of potentials which supersede each individual partner.

In Seduced by Moonlight, Laurel K. Hamilton writes to a different strength than that of the typical "who done it".  A tour de force into the realms of erotic fantasy, she non the less casts a net for the reader to keep asking.... Who is behind all the attempts on Meredeth's life?

For a read that can not be put down, one you will want to share with those closest to you, and pull from the shelf again and again and again.... you can not go wrong with this book.

RATING:  10 Campfires.
