Search - A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, Bk 1)

It took me a bit longer to get into this one than it did when I first read an Anita Blake, but after sticking with it, I found it to be quite enjoyable and an excellent book. It think introducing the characters and the world itself took a bit. It continues to amaze me how Hamilton takes the time to describe things with such vivid detail. I love the imagination that she uses in creating a world completely different, yet still as addictive, as her Anita Blake series. I also like that Meredith is an entity all her own and not another complete clone of Anita.

Very erotic and entertaining. My husband enjoyed it. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Since I'm wild about the Anita Blake series, I expected to love this one too. Unfortunately, A Kiss of Shadows fell flat, and Meredith seems too much like a simple variation of Anita. One of LKH's appeals is her ability to create wonderful male characters that you fall in love with, and this doesn't happen here. After reading this, I decided to stick with Anita Blake.

It was an okay book written by an okay author. Merry is Anita Blake, there is no difference really between the two; They even have the same dialog. The supporting characters are the same but with different names. The only real difference I see is that over sexualization of characters within this series starts right away, where as the Anita Blake series takes awhile. I ejoyed the first 5 or so books in the Anita Blake series, but not the rest. I understand that there are people who like her soft porn, but if you only liked the first batch of books from Anita Blake you will not like this series. Laurell Hamilton needs a new personal fantasy to write about.

loved this book. I've been a big fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's for a while. Although this book had a little taste of Anita Blake in it the later series are all their own pretty much. Loved it and the later ones as well. Hamilton is a very good writer. She rocks!!!

Wow! What a great story! This is such an intriguing world LKH has introduced me to and I can barely wait for the next in the series!
