Yeah, okay, I'm offically hooked. I stayed up until late last night to finish reading this book, and even then I was tempted to start reading the next book. I'm glad I didn't, or I wouldn't have made it to work this morning.

Well, what can I say about this book... I could fangirl (my default mode ever since I started reading these books), or I could swoon over Barrons (that pretty much takes up 98% of my day already). I just don't know. I feel like singing. For those who don't know me, that's like... More epic than the birth of baby Jesus.

Mac is growing up and turning into a strong, albeit pink, woman (in your face Barrons!). I'm not saying she makes all the right deciscions, but for some reason don't feel the urge to yell YOU STUPID WOMAN every time she does something stupid. Hey, you try figuring out what you are supposed to do when you are getting bossed around by one of the most complex men I've read about in the last few years.

For those of you who think I'm messing around, an actual spoiler will follow.

(view spoiler)[I think I've got it figured out who or what Barrons is, but what happened when Barrons saved Mac was probably another red herring that has nothing to do with his true nature. But I love how we still don't know for sure. I can't remember the last time where one of the main characters' real identity stayed hidden for so long. I'm thinking I'll feel slightly dissappointed when the secret gets out in the open (hide spoiler)]

Those of you who are still on the fence about these books: come on, read them, I promise it will be good. So, so good.

Kim I'm just pretending I didn't sprout out all that self-restraint crap.


message 2: by Nic (new) - rated it 5 stars

Nic Kim I thought you were going to savour them. Lucky you didn't give your kindle to someone to mind. The police would have been called!


message 3: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim I'm fickle, what can I say :)

Yeah, it would have been very ugly, trust me =D


Danny *giggles* I thought you wanted to wait? I guess Barrons didn't let you hu?


message 5: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Barrons must be getting tired from running around in my head all day. ^^


Danny what about the nights, hu?

Kim *faints dramatically*


Lyndsey Barrons has reeled you in with his big strong hands, I'd say. *Sigh* I still don't know what he is, but if he is Fae -- then I'm an effing Pri-ya.


Flannery I knew you were pri-ya. You are so the type.


Lyndsey Yeah, when all the other little girls wanted their Barbies to shop for shoes, I was making mine get it on with Ken.


Flannery Lyndsey, we all know that Ken wasn't equipped in that way. Have you ever seen that SNL skit when Kristin Wiig was Barbie? WATCH IT if you haven't. Seth: "Oh, are you and Ken not together anymore?" Barbie: "Have you seen what's down Ken's pants? It's disturbing."


Lyndsey Uhhhh, haven't you ever heard of IMAGINATION? Life is your creation! Come on, Barbie -- let's go party.....


Flannery True confession: I own the Aqua CD.

Yes he has. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be busy fantasizing about those big strong hands for the next 29 hours.


Lyndsey 29 hours, huh? Well, I thought he might be a Marathon Man, but geez. LOL!!!! XD

They actually made enough songs to fill an entire CD?


Flannery You bet they did, Kim. Who could forget the awkwardness of the "you are my lollipop" song?--Totally Sexual Aqua Song

I may not know what he is, but I do know he's a Viking in the sack.

I wish I wasn't at work right now, so I could watch that vid. (I'll check it out when I get home)


Flannery Speaking of sexy Vikings...



message 21: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Sensory overload! It's getting harder to focus on my work.


Lyndsey Now, just blur out his face and imagine it's Barrons. (however he might look) Mmmmmm...


~Tina~ Great review! And as for your spoiler? (view spoiler)[ I don't think you'll be disappointed. We pretty much get our answer in X book, and I gotta say, I'm surprised. (hide spoiler)]


message 24: by Kim (last edited Jan 26, 2011 03:38am) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim RAWR.

Tina (view spoiler)[I love you for it, how you are vagueing this up for me. I want to know what he is, but I want to find out myself and I don't want to see it coming. (hide spoiler)]


~Tina~ Totally understand! ^^

I'm just so freaken happy that there are only five books. Seriously wouldn't know what I would have done if this was a huge ass series.


Nicole Is it spoiling you Tina to mention that KMM is writing spin-offs? kick me if you like


~Tina~ SERIOUSLY??? Oh crap! Wait...I'm not sure I want these books without Barrons and Mac though...but hey, that's awesome news!! Thanks for the heads up:)


message 28: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Yeah, me too, I would have to take a week off if there were more of them. I'm just really glad I can devour these books, but Tina, you are on fire girl!


~Tina~ My kids totally hate me I swear, but a weekend of goofy golfing and a movie should win there love back. There easy;) lol


message 30: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Barrons is worth it and I'm sure they will love you again after the weekend =D


~Tina~ There thinking about throwing in a new game.
~ponders over the last few days~
Yeah, they suck. lol


Shera (Book Whispers) Hmmm . . . now I'll have to jump on book 2. I didn't like book 1 too much.


message 33: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Shera, yes please!


message 34: by Mika (new) - rated it 2 stars

Mika Yeah, book 1 wasn't that great. I think Barrons is a Druid who performs Black Magic (hence, his tattoos). I don't know why he can see the Fae, but maybe he is eating Rhino-boys too (that was gross, btw). I'm glad Mac finally met a MacKeltar (if you read the Highlander series, you will know what I'm talking about).


message 35: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim I haven't read the Highlander books, but I'm thinking about giving them a shot. I started reading the Psy-Changeling books and I will probably read those first.


message 36: by Mika (new) - rated it 2 stars

Mika The Psy-Changeling books are on my to read list. How do you like it so far?


message 37: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kim Meh. =D Not bad but I've read better. I can't explain it any better than I did in my my review


message 38: by Mika (new) - rated it 2 stars

Mika Okay, so after reading your review I came to the conclusion that the Psy-Changeling books follow the same formula as the Highlander books. And that was the reason I found the Highlander series lacking.
