Burned by Karen Marie Moning

SIt’s easy to walk away from lies. Power is another thing.

MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A gifted sidhe-seer, she’s already fought and defeated the deadly Sinsar Dubh—an ancient book of terrible evil—yet its hold on her has never been stronger.

When the wall that protected humans from the seductive, insatiable Fae was destroyed on Halloween, long-imprisoned immortals ravaged the planet. Now Dublin is a war zone with factions battling for control. As the city heats up and the ice left by the Hoar Frost King melts, tempers flare, passions run red-hot, and dangerous lines get crossed.

Seelie and Unseelie vie for power against nine ancient immortals who have governed Dublin for millennia; a rival band of sidhe-seers invades the city, determined to claim it for their own; Mac’s former protégé and best friend, Dani “Mega” O’Malley, is now her fierce enemy; and even more urgent, Highland druid Christian MacKeltar has been captured by the Crimson Hag and is being driven deeper into Unseelie madness with each passing day. The only one Mac can depend on is the powerful, dangerous immortal Jericho Barrons, but even their fiery bond is tested by betrayal.

It’s a world where staying alive is a constant struggle, the line between good and evil gets blurred, and every alliance comes at a price. In an epic battle against dark forces, Mac must decide who she can trust, and what her survival is ultimately worth.

[Gisela, Moderator]

[Sue]

@Gisela totally agree, if it's not it'll probably be the last of the s e tries for me

I'll start too then :D

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Huh very interesting !It started of with this

[Sue]

I know what you mean. Phil"s voicing makes it that much better *wink*

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I'm reading but I really liked Barron's POV. I'm just wondering why KMM put it in this book.
And the epilogue (view spoiler)[ LOL she screamed :D I want to read more about the king and queen. (hide spoiler)]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Dani thinks(view spoiler)[ killing Alina was the second worst thing she'd done. What's the first? (hide spoiler)]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Chapter 5 is itI just me or do you feel Barrons has gone backward?

I'm half way through it, (view spoiler)[ though there is more Barron's in the beginning. He's had a lower profile in the book then I'd have expected. After book 5 I thought he'd be more front and center. Definitely shows signs of the caveman he his... I can't see a little thing like love changing him that must. So within my expectations. Just finished the scene at Chester's with Makayla (hide spoiler)]

Gisela wrote: "I really hope this one is better than ..." This is my poster child for Ick, just went too far. Had they removed that garbage (view spoiler)[ Lust of two men after Dani, 14 is a line that should never be crossed (hide spoiler)] I'd have liked the book a lot more.

[Gisela, Moderator]

I'll try and start tonight.

[Gisela, Moderator]

After the BBQ scene at the end of shodowfever I thought he'd be more loving but no...

[Gisela, Moderator]

Just finished Ch 1. I still find Dani annoying. Also what's the deal with the WeCare people? How did they know about the Hoar Frost King?

[Gisela, Moderator]

Gah! I'm so sick and tired of hearing men described as addictive!!! You hear me authors? Find other adjectives to describe a hero's appeal!

Ok, rant over. Back to reading...

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Gisela wrote: "Just finished Ch 1. I still find Dani annoying. Also what's the deal with the WeCare people? How did they know about the Hoar Frost King?"

Yes I feel the same about Dani. And I have no idea who the WeCare people are unless it's someone we know and don't suspect (view spoiler)[ Dancer????? (hide spoiler)]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I'm having a crazy busy day. I haven't even opened my app yet! let alone read !

[Gisela, Moderator]

I'm on Ch. 5, and (view spoiler)[ it sounds like she's trying to convince me or justify being with Barrons:

I feel so much more intensely alive around him than I’ve ever felt with anyone else.

I’m obsessed and addicted and ripped-down-raw in love with Jericho Barrons.

And there are those awful adjectives again!

Also what a huge A-hole! He invited over the guys that raped Mac. Really?!!!! (hide spoiler)]

That's why I said his character is going backward!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I'm home and sat down to read. Reading chapter 5 now

[ShoSho , Moderator]

OMG Lor!!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

On chapter 11 I'm thinking Dani will come out a few years older so Riodan can lust after her as much as he wants. What do you think?

How far are you?

[Gisela, Moderator]

I'm still on Ch. 5, when we get a vocabulary lesson...

>.<

[Gisela, Moderator]

I'm struggling to get into this. I feel like KMM keeps bashing me in the head with Barron's hotness and English lessons...

[Gisela, Moderator]

Just read that part!

[Gisela, Moderator]

Who on earth is Jada and why do we get her sections in 3rd person POV? Too many POVs as it is... *sigh*

[Gisela, Moderator]

I'm at 56% and gosh am I bored. I just don't care about these people...

I'm going to put it out there !It's Dani that has aged in the silvers :D heeheee

Gisela wrote: "I'm at 56% and gosh am I bored. I just don't care about these people..."

Me too! The story isn't interesting enough.I think it's because too many new elements are thrown into it and some things that were facts in previous books are no longer true.

Yeah I got to that part and already suspected so I wasn't really surprised.

[Gisela, Moderator]

Yep, also Mac and Barrons, they're going backward. I knew that the whole point of the prologue was to create DRAMA when Mac remembered. But she chose an awful time to throw a hissy fit. (view spoiler)[ I don't know how I feel about Jo/Lor and Kat/Kasteo nor am I happy with what's going on with Sean. (hide spoiler)]

so it's true? I was just guessing!!!!:D

[Gisela, Moderator]

Oops! I thought you'd read that part! :P

Where are you?

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Dancer showed for the first time. Chapter 15 maybe?

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Where are you?

[Gisela, Moderator]

Ch. 24, I've skimmed a lot of Mac's inner monologues and the lessons in English and music theory.

[Gisela, Moderator]

It's driving me up the wall how passive Mac is. So far she's done nothing!

heehee me too!

[Gisela, Moderator]

Just started Ch. 25 and its a big WTF...

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I just finished part 1 and about to start part 2.
I'm not enjoying it though , there is something wrong with the book!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Do you know what put me off? That epilogue. I read it when it was on her website and I remember that there was a line from the author at the end saying that this thing might not have happened at all and that's for the readers to decide. Now she's telling us it really happened!
