Product Description
I am Meredith, princess of faerie, wielder of the hands of Flesh and Blood, and at long last, I am with child–twins, fathered by my royal guard. Though my uncle, Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, claims that he is the true father since he abducted me from my home, betrayed, and defiled me. And now he has branded my guards as a threat to my unborn children.
Bearing an heir has placed me halfway to my aunt’s throne, that much closer to my reign over the Unseelie Court–and well ahead of her son, my cousin Cel, in this race. Now I must stay alive to see my children born and claim my place as queen.
But not all in faerie are pleased with the news, and conspirators from every court in the realm plot against me and mine. They seek to strip my guards, my lovers, from me by poisoned word or cold steel. But I still have supporters, and even friends, among the goblins and the sluagh, who will stand by me.
I am Meredith Nic Essus, and those who would defy and destroy me are destined to pay a terrible price–for I am truly my father’s daughter. To protect what is mine, I will sacrifice anything–even if it means waging a great battle against my darkest enemies and making the most momentous decision ever made as princess of faerie.

 One of the BEST in the series!!! January 9, 2009

This book finally progressed the story!!! There was very little sex and a major bad guy was killed off. Lots of stuff happened. We learned new things about supporting characters and got to go inside Sholoto's mound. Mary finally realized whats most important and its not a crown. The scenes of the wildhunt were very well written and cool. I don't know why some readers gave this book such bad reviews. It really is one of the stronger books in the series.
 Took a little bit to get into... January 4, 2009

It took me a little bit to get into this book. I love the Merry Gentry series but the beginning of Swallowing Darkness seemed a little dull to me. However it started picking up for me towards the middle and I was very happy about that. I can't believe that LKH is going to continue the series. In my opinion, this would have been the perfect ending to the books. But who knows, maybe she'll surprise us with something bigger and better?!
SO HAPPY THIS IS NOT THE LAST BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! January 4, 2009

1ST THING I HAVE TO SAY I DID NOT LIKE C. BLACK THE READER OF THE BOOK!!!
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WITH LAURAL MERLINGTON!!!!!!!!!!
2ND U CAN NOT MAKE EVERYONE LIKE WHAT U DO!!!!!!!!
SOME PEOPLE HAVE SOME OVER DRAWN OUT REVIEWS ABOUT HOW THEY DID NOT LIKE THE BOOK. (TO EACH HIS ON!) THE BOOK WAS GOOD, I ALWAYS GET LAURELL HAMILTON BOOKS ON AUDIO AND I LIKE HOW THE WHOLE THING COMES TOGETHER. THE VOICE AND THE STORY LINE IS ALWAYS GOOD. ALSO THE BOOK DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT SEX TO MAKE IT AN OUTSTANDING READ. IF U GO ON HAMILTON WEB SITE IT WILL TELL U THIS IS NOT THE LAST BOOK. I BELIEVE SHE IS GOING TO DO 4 MORE BOOKS UP TO BOOK 11.
IT WAS NOT THE BEST, BUT THE BOOK WAS STILL GOOD TO LISTEN TO. IT FELT LIKE SHE WAS MISSING SOME CHARACTERS OUT OF THE STORY. WITH SOME PARTS OF THE STORY I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO LOSE EVERYONE. WHO KNEW THAT HER COUSIN CEL KILLED HER FATHER AND SHE SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM FOR IT. SO, HE IS NO LONGER IN THE STORY LINE. THE QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS, MEREDITH'S MOTHER, AND UNCLE SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR WHAT THEY DID TO HER.
I LIKE HOW THEY GOT FROST BACK AND SHE IS WITH KIDS.
IF, SHE DO WRITE MORE ABOUT MEREDITH GENTRY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING TURN OUT WITH THE KIDS ON THE WAY AND HER CRAZY FAMILY. IF U HAVE ALL OF THE BOOKS FROM MEREDITH THIS WOULD BE A GOOD BOOK TO ADD TO UR COLLECTION.
PICK UP THE BOOK HAVE FUN LISTENING OR READING.
U COULD LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Swallowing Darkness (Meredith Gentry, Book 7)
