2nd book finished:  Darkling... Yasmine Galenorn

Darkling is third book in the series.  I have previously read Witchling and Changeling.

Essentially, this series revolves around 3 half-fae sisters from the Otherworld who are trying to stop an invasion from a demon name Shadow Wing, while dealing with a civil war going on in the Otherworld.  Sounds dark and heavy, but it isn't - these books are like bubblegum.  Funny and sarcastic,  no better than then the genre, but yet, amusing enough.

So to date:
1.  My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding... P.N. Elrod
2.  Darkling... Yasmine Galenorn

I read the first 3, but it wasn't really to my taste, and the story got more complex and harder to follow.

I'm impressed you went through the first three books even though they weren't your thing.

It's funny, I thought the story was more complex in the beginning. Once they started getting rid of all the cumbersome nobles in the first book, everything got easier for me. :)

For what it's worth, the next trilogy is about the kid, Imriel, and is (IMO) a lot less complicated overall. There's also, I think, less BDSM/sex.

it was well written, with good politics and an interesting world. hence 3 books before i just didn't want to read anymore.
