Like a bolt out of the blue, Fate steps in and sees you through. When you wish upon a star, Your dreams come true.

Format: Paperback | Pages: 375 | Release Date: March 1999 [Reissue edition] | Publisher: Dell

"Beyond the Highland Mist" [The Highlander Series, Book 1] by Karen Marie Moning -- This novel is set up with three situations going on that make this whole scenario that much more complicated.

First - We have Hawk. He's a Scotland laird from 1500's who is a legend to everyone around him, with his beautiful looks and his exceptionally knowledgeable skills in the bedroom, Hawk seems to be sought after by every female and is the envy of every man. However, for many years he hasn't been able to joy his skills and other delights as much as he use to, especially while he has been under the King's thumb having to do whatever he is told (even if it means having to bed woman he turned down). Just as his years of service are coming to an end, the King makes one more command; Hawk has to marry a lady called Mad Janet (who has spent most of her life trapped in a tower for unknown reasons).

Second - We have the King and the fool (aka the jester, aka Adam Black) of the fairy court. One day the Queen of the fairy court tells the King and Adam that she has been with Hawk and that he is everything that the legend states of him and more, all in attempt to make them jealous. And jealous they do get. So, the King and Adam plan on revenge against Hawk, to find him a woman who he can never have.

Third - We have Adrienne. She is from the 21st century, and has had very bad experiences with beautiful man. One in particular who used her without her knowledge for such a long time that once she found out his scams, he tried to kill her. And from then on she made a vow to hate all beautiful men, since she assumes they are all the same.

And so ... Adam chooses Adrienne and brings her back to the 1500's to fill Mad Janet’s place and marry Hawk. But can the legend melt her heart? Or will the fairy's revenge work?

3 out of 5 stars. Good book ... however, the tale was too drawn out ... and the issues could have been resolved sooner and possibly would have been a better book that way. =0P I did like the characters though! =0)

sometimes I give myself the creeps, sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

Pages: 309 | Release Date: August 28, 2007

"Darkfever" [Fever Series, Book 1] by Karen Marie Moning -- MacKayla (Mac) likes her small town life in Georgia. The only thing missing from her days of either work or lying by the pool in her parents’ backyard is waiting for her older sister to return from her year abroad studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Yet, everything changes when Mac gets a call saying that her sister is dead, and after three weeks of waiting on the Dublin police to find some answers ... her family is told that her sister's case is being moved to the unsolved department. With that news, Mac decides to fly to Dublin to start the search herself. Once Mac arrives everything isn't what it seems in more ways then one. As she finds out that her sister hasn't been as open about what she's been up to as Mac believed, hot man that she sees in bars suddenly look like anything but human, and she's beginning to believe their might more to herself and her past then she knows. While Mac is getting deeper into her sister's secrets and the mystery of her death, she gets help from Jericho, a man who tells her little about himself and she isn't sure if she can fully trust, and is followed by V'lane, a Fae prince who makes sex an addiction for woman. Soon, Mac realizes that maybe the only way to find out who murdered her sister is to find the mysterious Sinsar Dubh, a powerful dark Fae book that her sister was in the process of searching for...

3 out of 5 stars. The story is written in a journal aspect, like Mac went through this journey and then is writing it all down afterwards so it'll be documented, you know this since there is a lot of foretelling in how the details are written. I'm not sure if I completely like that or not, since it's like you get into a scene and then the foretelling stops you from being completely there. Other then that, I think it's a great book. Action Packed! I can't wait to read the next in the series!

No stop signs, speed limit, Nobodys gonna slow me down ... Hey momma, look at me, I'm on my way to the promised land

Pages: 304 | Release Date: October 16, 2007

"Bloodfever" [Fever Series, Book 2] by Karen Marie Moning -- In this second novel, Mac is still racking up the number of people who are out to get her or who would love to blame her for any kind of wrongdoing. After recovering from her first fight with Mallacé, Mac has to deal with a vengeful woman, a seductive Fae prince, two curious cops, a merciless brother-of-a-mobster, a distraught father, and more all while still looking for the Sinsar Dubh (a million-year-old book that has the power to control what happens in both the Fae and human worlds). However, Mac isn’t as sweet as she originally was and has learned more about herself to stand up to those who’re out against her, along with possibly seeing whom she can trust. The only problem is everyone keeps changing out of the roles she wants to appointed them and it may be hard to keep up with whom is on what side of the good-versus-bad line, especially when everything isn’t always black and white.

5 out of 5 stars!! Sooo much better then the first book! Mac has developed into a great character! Plus ... my biggest issue with the first novel was all of the foreshadowing that made pauses throughout it, which is completely solved in this second novel. I mean there is foreshadowing still but the story keeps flowing around it, which I tremendously enjoyed! =0)

Love of two is one, Here but now they're gone, Came the last night of sadness

Pages: 327 | Release Date: September 16, 2008

"Faefever" [Fever Series, Book 3] by Karen Marie Moning -- In this third novel, the Sinsar Dubh (a million-year-old book that has the power to control what happens in both the Fae and human worlds) is getting closer to Mac, the only problem is in doing so she's finding that this might be more then just a book. Now she's trying to create a bigger playing field for herself by trying not to put all of her eggs in one basket. She's doing this by looking for other ways to find the book and to find information on the things/people she doesn't know much about, which sadly is just about everything...

Again ... 5 out of 5 stars!! Plenty of twists and turns to keep your attention! For the ending, all I can really say is: WOW! I just can’t believe it went there, and I can’t wait to see what will happen to Mac next!

--------

Jessica's Musings:
  • About Mac:
    • I have been wondering if she might be part Fae [sometimes I think from the Seelie Court].
    • Maybe that old women is related to her somehow? Or possibly the old women killed her birth mother?
    • Is Mac's birth mother the women from her dreams? I think it's a possibility.
  • Who or what is Jericho Barrons?
    1. He's that boy that Mac found the notes written from/about.
    2. He's a vampire. [I have many reasons for this ... but to sum it up I'll say he behaves like one.]
    3. He's the Unseelie King.
    4. He's BOTH my first and third predictions.

WWW Wednesdays [April 21, 2010]


  • Today's WWW Wednesdays by MizB - click here


  • My Personal Q&A:
    • What are you currently reading?
      "The Immortal Highlander" [The Highlander Series, Book 6] by Karen Marie Moning -- I'm half-way through the book now and I LOVE it! It's already so much better then "Beyond the Highland Mist", probably because this book is more like Karen's Fever series and I am addicted to that series.
    • What did you recently finish reading?
      I recently stopped reading "The Third Kiss: Dorian's Dream" [Third Kiss Series, Book 1] by Heather Killough-Walden, but technically I haven't finished reading it yet. It's a horror-romance type of book and it's a little to graphic on the horror side for me. Plus it has to many characters point-of-views that you read from that made it kind of boring and making the plot somewhat lost for me. *shrug* At someday I might finish the book but there are others I'll probably be reading first.
    • What do you think you’ll read next?
      "Strange Angels" [Strange Angels Series, Book 1] by Lilith Saintcrow -- This series has been coming up on my recommended list from Amazon.com for a while, and now I'm finally going to be reading it! YAY!

    "Waiting On" Wednesday: Shadowfever


  • Today's "Waiting On" Wednesday by Jill - click here


  • "Shadowfever" [Fever Series, Book 5] by Karen Marie Moning
    Publication Released Date: December 7, 2010

    Book Description:
      MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

      Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister's murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals that have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

      What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief, while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh--a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King that contains the power to create and destroy worlds.

      In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.

      Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman that haunts her dreams? More importantly, who is Mac and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

      From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse, to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover, to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and make a choice that will either save the world...or destroy it.

    I fell in love with this series after randomly picking up "Dreamfever" at the library. I cannot WAIT until this for this conclusion novel to the series!! I hope that Jericho & Mac will get together and STAY together! And I really hope that Jericho is okay ....

    My Previous Reviews for this Series: Book 1 | Book 2 | Book 3 | Book 4
