I just finished reading Seduced by Moonlight. It is the third book in Laurell K. Hamilton’s Meredith Gentry series. The series was recommended to me by a friend. She knew I liked reading fantasy fiction. I was skeptical when I picked up the first book, A Kiss of Shadows. I started reading Hamilton’s Anita Blake series several years ago, but never finished the series. A little violence and a little sex can add spice to a story, but it will not carry a book if the plot is weak.
I read A Kiss of Shadows and enjoyed it enough to go on to the second book. It wasn’t as good as the first, but I liked the theme behind the story and wanted to see where it would go. I downloaded Seduced by Moonlight and kept reading.
When a story bogs down with too much sex or violence I’ll skip a few pages and get back to the story, but with Seduced by Moonlight I found I was skipping more pages than reading. The plot was almost nonexistent. It was page after page of sex and violence. I finished the book but I will not be reading the next one in the series. I love a good fantasy fiction and I enjoy reading romance, but sex and violence for the sake of sex and violence is too close to my definition of porn.
