I gather the ladies have largely moved on to sexy fairies now. Court of Thorn and Roses series is a huge best seller.
Shout out to the podcast Reading Smut for keeping me informed.
i mean, edward was 100% fey already. Sparkles in the daylight vampires? Come the fuck on. Thats fairy shit through and through.
Yeah I've been reading Clea, Huntress of Dragonvale. Part five of the Elves of Evermore Series.
"The Elf-Lord Fylfendell knelt upon the bed of dandelions.
"'Young wanderer,' quoth he, 'I have woven you
a magic breastplate..."'
Now? Laurel K Hamilton was writing A Kiss of Shadows in (checks notes...) Two fucking Thousand! You kids are way behind!
I've only started learning about this topic recently, sorry, friend!
Lucky you! She wrote quite a few of those Meredith Gentry novels if you like that sort of things. She was doing bit lit before it was a thing, really :)
It's kinda amazing how she started as an Ann Rice wannabe but then the erotic angle took more and more of the novels and then the Meredith Gentry series started pretty much full on porn right out of the gate.
