Merry Gentry, ex–private detective, now full-time princess, knew she was descended from fertility goddesses, but when she learned she was about to have triplets, she began to understand what that might mean. Infertility has plagued the high ranks of faerie for centuries. Now nobles of both courts of faerie are coming to court Merry and her men, at their home in exile in the Western Lands of Los Angeles, because they will do anything to have babies of their own.
Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, is a more dangerous problem. He tried to seduce Merry and, failing that, raped her. He’s using the human courts to sue for visitation rights, claiming that one of the babies is his. And though Merry knows she was already pregnant when he took her, she can’t prove it.

A Shiver of Light Merry Gentry Books Reviews
I will start by saying I literally own all of the books from this series, and from the Anita Blake series. I must admit, for this series and Anita’s I have continued purchasing hoping that there will be a return to the early LKH style, that was full of plot, snappy dialogue, action, and great character development. And having said that, I need her to do better. I truly believe that the author has not read her books from the beginning, she has not refreshed herself on the stories she began. And that is truly hurting her writing, and stunting her growth as an author. I was really looking forward to this book, since it’s been so long since the last Merry installment. And I must say I’m disappointed.The first let down is that everything seems to happen in the last 3 chapters. We’ve gone 40 chapters of repetitive dialogue and unnecessary character description, and missed opportunities for a great book, to land at the end with so much happening, almost no explanation, just gave a rushed ending feel. The major event was very sad, and there was no preparing for it, but it’s wrapped up so quickly, that you barely have time to realize what happened. A bit more surrounding that plot point, as well as the issues with Andais & Taranis would have made for a better book. The lengthy descriptions of people we already know, and the slow moving chapters were just too much filler, constantly. Also, the repetitive signs of the roses, and other such things, became really annoying. Oh and the babies! We don’t really see any of Merry being pregnant and with her men, we really don’t see the relationships that the men are developing with the babies, all of these things are happening outside of the reader’s perception.
