The Immortal Highlander The Highlander Series Book 6 Karen Marie Moning 9780440237563 Books

I may be Karen Marie Moning's biggest fan, having read and loved every magical, unique novel she has published. I especially like "The Dark Highlander" and "The Kiss of the Highlander." Adam Black, our hero here, had small, but important roles in these two novels, and Ms. Moning does not disappoint with her latest, Adam's story. It is not necessary to have read her prior books to enjoy this one. "The Immortal Highlander" stands on its own.

Black belongs to "Tuatha De Danaan," a highly advanced race of immortal beings that settled in Ireland thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Although this race is called by many names, they are most commonly referred to as Fae or Faery. Frequently portrayed as tiny, luminescent creatures who flit around, the true "Tuatha De Danaan" are neither small nor benevolent. Adam Black is a rogue among his own kind. He meddles too much in the affairs of men, frequently taking on the human form of a tall, dark, and (you got it!), handsome male, powerfully built and extremely seductive. He is unpredictable, arrogant, mesmerizing...and Trouble, with a capital "T."

Aoibheal, Queen of the "Tuatha De Danaan," punishes Black for his interference in the world of mortals, by stripping him of his immortality and making him human. And to make matters worse, she curses him with the threefold power of feth fiada - which makes him invisible to mankind. No one can see him, hear him, touch him. And almost as bad, now he feels hunger, thirst, fatigue, lust, and loneliness. His own kind, although they can see him clearly, have been forbidden to acknowledge him. After months in this state, Adam is desperate.

Enter human female, Gabrielle O'Callaghan, who is (yes) lovely, intelligent and has the gift of sight. She can see both worlds - mortal and faery, which to her has always been a curse rather than a gift. Gabrielle can see and hear Adam. Once he finds this out, and he does very rapidly, he will not leave her alone. Besides wanting very much to seduce her, she may be the only means he has of communicating with humans or faeries.

Adam must persuade Gabrielle to help him in his quest to regain his immortality - a quest that will take them into a world of magic where they discover a conspiracy to destroy both mortal and faery realms.

As with Ms. Moning's other novels, this one has it all - romance, magic, time travel, extraordinary characters, great plot, writing that flows, and most important, an original theme and storyline. It just doesn't get better than this! Highly recommended!

The Immortal Highlander The Highlander Series Book 6 Karen Marie Moning 9780440237563 Books Reviews

This is my favorite of the books- the heroine needs no convincing that Fae fairies exist- she sees them. And Adam is my secret fantasy male; the bad boy with the hidden good heart. If you read the preceding book, you know Adam was made mortal in order to save the MacKelter line from the blood bath. Several of the "twists" in the story revealed at the beginning of the book are that the Queen also made Adam invisible to both the other fairies and the mortals, thus Adam is completely alone with any immortal powers except the ability to shift-change for short distances. The second new element to the story is the introduction of a special moral family of females who can actually see fairies and has over the centuries been keeping a series of notebooks to aid others, our heroine is one such person with the power she inherited from her grandmother, a good Irish lass named O'Callahan. Out of necessity she and Adam are forced to team up to beat the "bad guys". Additional tie-ins to prior books include his reason for being in Cinncinati-to locate his son (book 3), and while looking through the journals, reference is made to the mid 800's and Dalkeith-Upon-the-Sea (books 1 and 2).
This book is Karen Marie Moning at her tongue-in-cheek best. My favorite passage occurs in the first chapters as Adam is still discovering exactly what it means to be a mortal male, he sees Gabby getting out of her car, is admiring her person just before realized that Gabby could see him and, in a panic she eludes his first effort to make contact with him. "It had just been made excruciatingly clear to him that the human male brain and the human male cXXk couldn't both sustain sufficient amounts of blood to function at the same time. It was one or the other, and the human male apparently didn't get to choose which one....How had mankind survived this?" There is one more seriously fun twist that brings it all together but farther into the story and I am not going to ruin the fun, although it is eluded to in the next installment of this soap opera, "Spell of the Highlander".
Well this book finally had an "ending" that the reader could close the book shut on and be satisfied with. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because a lot of times a character would ask a question and you would read for five to six paragraphs and there would be the answer mixed up with all this stuff you didn't need to read. Had to backtrack several times to see what the question was. BUT, that being said, this was a really great book especially if you've read the series one after the other. It seems I have one more book to read about someone being stuck in a old fashioned looking glass. Talk with you after I finish that one, then I move on to something else. I've tried very hard to be as truthful as I can with my reviews as it is important to the author and her readers. Always remember though everyone is different. See you in Scotland, if only in your dreams. Hugs!
