**No actual spoilers, but I'm going to talk about specific behavior in the book. I'm just not gonna say whose behavior it is.

Okay, so the above gif isn’t exactly fair or representative of this book. For it to be truly accurate, I’d have to add pedobears…

**My review ended up being a lot more long-winded than I'd expected, hence the main points are in bold.**

Iced was my #1 most anticipated release of 2012, and while it wasn't the biggest disappointment of the year, it comes close.

The beginning is extremely slow. I was excited about being back in KMM's Dublin, but the joy wore off after a while and I wasn't nearly as captivated by this as I was by Darkfever. Nothing seemed to be happening, the narration was dull, and I couldn't bring myself to ca...more

I know how that baby feels. I really want this book.

Update: It has a cover! Damn, I love it.

This is not really a review but more of a reaction. Let me be clear, I love how Karen Marie Moning (from here on out referred to as KMM because Karen Marie Moning is simply too long to keep writing) writes. I enjoy the way she crafts characters and the world she builds. KMM is able to write characters that even when I don't like them, I want to keep reading. And that happened with Iced. I wasn't invested in the story, I was mildly bored by the storyline but I still felt compelled to keep going....more

I'll give you the take-home before I write this review, because I might get bored and wander off: Dani O'Malley is the Scrappy Doo of the Feververse. Which makes her the Dawn Summers, Jar Jar Binks, or Wesley Crusher of this franchise, if you lack familiarity with the buzzkill that is Scrappy Doo.

I wanted to give my read of this novel the most auspicious reading environment possible, so I waited until I was good and sick with a cold that has surely done something terrible and permanent to my lu...more

Ignore what I said last night. Sleep is a myth. I will now continue anyway. There are a few minor plot spoilers, but most of my discussion is about character reactions to Dani, so know that there will be a few small spoilers going into this review if you haven't read Iced. If you haven't at least read the Fever series, I'd say to tread with extreme caution.
Death on her left.
Devil on her right.

...and so begins the first chapter in the story of Dani O'Malley's life.

Added, after a discussion 11/4/2012

From the comment section: Regarding Dani's age

As to her age... Well, a few more years would make me more comfortable, but what is a few years compared to forever? It's just there's a limit in our mind from which age and with what age difference sex is appropriate. Even if Dani was 10 years older Ryodan would be millenia older than her. The only thing different would be her maturity, which thanks to the society, world falling apart and her childhood is w...more

If you haven’t read the first five books of the Fever series, I strongly suggest you reconsider starting with this book. It’s not a spin-off. ICED is book 6 of the series. The events of ICED occur after some events in SHADOWFEVER. In ICED, you will encounter spoilers that will spoil the first five books, so you’ve been warned.

Readers say goodbye to Mac and Barrons (for now) and are introduced to the World of the Mega. Dani O’Malley is her name and don’t you forget it! S...more

I'm so happy to go back to this world. I don't want to put up any spoilers. Hope you all love it as much as me.

I'm so excited that she is continuing the Fever series!!!! 5 more books, yippee!! I 'd love to read more about Ryodan.

See Sophia and I discuss how feck we felt and what the feck we think at Fiction Vixen Book Reviews

I was afraid I wouldn't like Dani because her voice in the previous books was just short of annoying. I loved her. It didn't take long for her to grow on me.

Love Christian. He made me laugh even if he is bat shit crazy.

While I knew I should have never gotten so excited about a book before reading it I just coudn't help doing exactly that. I adored the fever series so much that the possibility of getting anything else from that world had me going crazy. Probably the main reason for my disappointement.

I was just SO SURE the heroine would grow on me now that she was getting her own book...

I never really liked Dani and after reading this book I still don't. She is barely a girl, not heroine material. She is shal...more

KMM is a fecking genius and that is all.
♡KarLynP♡
Really enjoyed it, KMM never fails to entertain me. What an imagination! Dani was a riot too, I loved her despite her only being 14 y/o. (It's not a YA book though, she's just a young character very much in an adult world.) I had some strong issues about Dani's age and the romantic/sexual references made toward her, but the core story was solid good.

Nov 16, 2012 Tatiana rated it 3 of 5 stars  ·  review of another edition Recommends it for: those who are not bothered by glamorizing of pedophiles
As seen on The Readventurer

What is the quickest way to make your intended sexy book absolutely, irrevocably, totally unsexy? Karen Marie Moning has the answer for you - just have your "heroes" act like abusive pedophiles, who love perving all over a scrawny, barely 14-year old girl, have them tell dick jokes around her, crawl into her bed when she is unconscious, lick her and wax poetically about her panties, sexualize this underage girl in every which way, and voila! - your book becomes revolti...more

Karen Marie Moning has done this to me before. In Darkfever, she introduces us to Mac, the biggest Barbie doll I've ever seen. She's obtuse. She's unpleasant to be around. She's impossible to identify with: why is everything pink? And she has terrible, terrible taste in music. But in the course of the books, she goes from helpless, insipid ninny, to a kick-ass hero who can take on the end of the world and win! So when presented with this:

I thought, okay, Moning is going somewhere with this. Skip...more

This is so not awesome. Really.
This book has failed my expectations T_T....I expected so much more.., AND i certainly did expect more Mac and Barrons :D BUT NO! They did appear, but only in (view spoiler)[ One to two scenes!!! SO PISSED OFF T_T (hide spoiler)].

Never mind that, except for the characters, i really loved the plot of the book, especially the ending, and i really hope Moning wont disappoint me as much as she did with this one. I mean, all of her books were coo...more
Mags~CVAddikt~Chaos defies imagination!
It's been months since I read ICED ...... now I can finally say I'm disappointed about some aspects of the book. If I ignore the fact that Dani is 14 years old .... then the book deserves 4 stars. I can't ignore the crazy Christian and alpha Ryo lusting for Dani... so the book deserves 2 stars. BUT I'm a huge fan of KMM and I liked the character Dancer, so ..... I'm giving it 3 stars.

Will I read the next one??? YES .... I need to see how KMM is going to solve this age-romance issues.

****Spoilers free review****

First of all, I would like to say that KMM is one of my favorite author. I LOVE both her Highlander and Fever series, and was really anxious to read Iced, but unfortunately as far as I'm concerned, with Iced she did NOT deliver.

Why was I disappointed?

Firstly, because despite what KMM assured to her fans Iced IS a YA book with a 14 years old MC. I liked Dani in the Fever series, she was a colorful kid. I still liked her for the first 3/4 of the book but after that I j...more

3.5/5

Took me all of ten minutes to get used to Dani as MC. She’s definitely no Mac whose own story starts with the girl all cute and funny and bumbling about; Dani is the opposite in knowing her place in things. The girl sees things a certain way and because of this sometimes fails to see other possibilities. But add that odd aspect of her that stuck more than once: some sort of innocence that drew others to her. I mean After The Wall Crashed and even before that she’d seen things and done thing...more

3,8 Stars!


I needed something more!!!

I'm gonna speak my mind so there maybe spoilers involved - Beware!

Why oh why is she soo fecking young and soo fecking dumb sometimes?

I know what KMM is doing, she wants us to have like 1000 questions and like 0 answers, so we would want to read the next and the next book.

But I was frustrated... If she doesn't get "the look" someone "gave" her. How can we??? We read this from her POV, so she either need to grow up and be an adult, which she hates so viciously...more

Teaser #1

Four nights he’s come to me, murmuring my name, making it an exquisite melody with which not even the divine orchestral choir of all the angels in heaven could compete.

He chimes my name in the language of the Unseelie and it makes my ears ring until my mind is emptied of all thought, until my eyes are incapable of beholding any vision other than him. He is so beautiful that merely looking at him makes me weep and when I brush tears from my cheeks, my hands come away stained red with bl...more

4.5 Stars

After finding out Iced centered on Dani, Mac’s fourteen-year old sidhe-seer friend, I did not plan on reading it. I changed my mind after Jenny @ Supernatural Snark forced convinced me to pick it up, and I was instantly hooked. I'm shocked at how much I ended up loving this story. I mean, come on, it's an adult story centered on a fourteen year old! Color me surprised.

This story picks up after the events of Shadowfever. Cruce is imprisoned under The Abbey, Mac found out Dani’s part in...more

BEFORE:
OK, Dani and Ryodan? *can't find words to describe the happiness*

I'm just worried that I won't like the stand alone Dani book, I never was her fan. As in: NEVER. The way she speaks... Hmmm. I so hope it will turn out great and awesome instead of awkward and prolonged death of an amazing series.

Yey. Can't wait! >.<

Review posted: Happily Ever After - Reads

I don’t even know where to start with this one. I went into this book liking Dani, intrigued by Ryodan and curious as to what Karen Marie Moning could do to continue this Fever world that’s so engaging. She ended up blowing me away and I couldn’t put it down. I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much, the world is still so interesting but the big star and heart of Iced is Dani. I went from like to love with this fourteen year old heroine and she is fan-fecking-...more

Mh.

Faux-pas, Moning.

The third star joined the other two at the very end, thanks to the action and the slightly improved plot but, if you're expecting anything even remotely reminiscent of the Fever series, drop this book now.
This is a detective story, and a very simplistic one at that. The plot felt similar to one I would expect to find in a novella, to be honest. Something's happening in Dublin and our heroes have to investigate. We're eons away from the complicated, gripping and downright e...more

3.5 Stars Sometimes starting a new book can be a nerve wracking venture, as was the case with Dani’s book. Was it YA or not? Was Dani going to have sex as a 14 year old and was Ryodan going to be the guy? There was so much hype about it, that KMM was posting info in order to calm fans down. Starting the book, some of my fears weren’t alleviated, especially with some of the remarks that Ryodan and Christian said around Dani. What kind of made it ok, was that a lot of it sailed over Dani’s head an...more

I'm truly not feeling inspired to write this. I don't know that I would consider anything I've written to be a spoiler, but, if that concerns you, feel free to skip on to the next review:)

First, I'll say that I don't know what all the fuss was about over Dani being fourteen in this book. Nothing happened between her and Ryodan or her and Christian. Not that it should have, obviously, nor did I expect that it would. I guess everyone has to decide what bothers them, what...more
