(audio book) on iTunes, and I just love the way the narrator tells it. I skimmed through it, and I am a sucker for a Scottish accent and he does it great. Can't wait to listen to when I workout.
Angela - i agree w/ you completely!! I had heard of Phil Gigante's reading of the books as "eargasmic", and it totally is. i borrowed the audiobooks from my library and just finished
(EXCELLENT by the way - Dageus is sexy as all get out!), and i've started
today. i'm loving these Scots! ;)
My favoite is Adam Black! Gotta love him!
Did anyone else read or hear a possible disconnect in Adam's and his son's stories, (it might have been something in the Fever Series though), where Adam's daughter-in-law _____ will or will not lose her soul over time.I think it was a reference that he, Adam, was comfortably sure that they'd live on forever intact.
Anybody have any recollect on this, or am I imaging things.
At the end of Adam's story , he took the potion to Cian and wife (sorry can't remember name right now) and gave them the choice of staying fae or keeping their soul. I believe that they both drunk the potion.
You meant Circenn and Lisa. Cian is one of the Keltars.I did post my thoughts on the different thread but -- my read - They did become immortals by drinking the faery potion. They didn't loose their souls because they didn't become faeries, they're just immortals.
Sorry, that is who I meant. Darn this CRS, it is really affecting my life.

Iknow, I love kiss of the Highlander when he makes Cian sound like Sean Connery.
I hope once the Fever series is done then some of the questions that are coming out about the Highlander series will be resolved in more books. Because I keep trying to figure out how Highlander series goes with Fever
I am on
and I see more and more from the last couple of books that you see that go with the Fever series. Now, I am going to have to re-read the Fever series before Shadowfever comes out!

I am just not a big "re-reader" I guess because I have so many other books I want to get too. But I think I will have to make and exception with this one...lol
Adam's my fav. When I read The Immortal Highlander...yeah, it was all over...if only he existed in real life. He's HOT!!!!!
Yeah, definitely team Adam Black here ;)
Yeah I have to agree with you Keri that Adam is my fav. I mean I love all the men and they are all so yummy but Adam there is that yummy goodness

Does anyone know when-abouts in the book the scene in The Immortal Highlander was where Adam and three McKeltars are speaking together? Thanks Highland Hussy, that was an interesting read.That's the worst, and sometimes very annoying detriment of listening vs reading. Urghrghh.
Quinnmc79 & Valerie I couldn't agree more about Cian and Daegus, though maybe for diff reasons. Re back in Nov/Dec messages.For me it was that they both had had the experience of being too well-brushed with the Dark Arts. Their respect and awe for what is there, and their regard for the enticement that exists there.
Adam too, for that matter.
I just started this series and I am trying to get all the characters involved sorted out. The queen is the same one from the fever series, right and who was the fae king? Can anyone tell were I can go that kind of explain some of the characters.

Yes please explain them to me I would really appreciate.
Adoore wrote: "I just started this series and I am trying to get all the characters involved sorted out. The queen is the same one from the fever series, right and who was the fae king?

But I don't want to spoil anything else in either series. Keep reading =D Don't forget the last Highlander book, so far, Into the Dreaming.
Okay so I am up to date with the fever series including ICE and I am wondering about the king and queen fae mention in the first highlander book.

Are they the same ones mentioned in the Fever series. Or are they different ones before the ones in the fever series.
The Seelie king - to be Unseelie King is the same. No one knows where he came from, but he is not originally of the Seelie caste. (view spoiler) You find out what happens to the Queen in the Highlander series. Hope that helps with out spilling too many beans.
Thank you so much it does help a lot. Now I am starting to understand the Highlander Series compared to or as a prequel to the Fever series (maybe not necessarily a prequel but as occurring way before the Fever) Last question: Are the Makelter ( I might've spelled it wrong) the only ones with immortality?
I can't answer that without spoiling the entire format of the Highlander series of how some of them are here in the modern time of the Fever series. =D
Reminding everyone that you can use the < spoiler> message here < /spoiler > tags if you don't want to give away too much. Then the curious people can see it but others can ignore it. Use the html I wrote above without the spaces inside the brackets <->. It will appear like this. (view spoiler).,
I guess I will just have to continue reading. I am starting the second book now.
I miss these books. Sometimes I just want a good stand alone and her newer books just don't give me that. I love those too, but wishing for a highlander return.
Cin is my fav, would love to fall into his tub, or he into mine!
I like Drustan. Can't put my finger on it but he stood out the most.
Mod
I agree with that.
Kiss Of The Highlander is my favorite! I absolutely LOVED it!
Kiss of the highlander was my favorite too!

I think KMM originally planned to take her Highlander world in a different direction, and then she made the Fever series go that direction instead. That's why the first cover of Darkfever has a more Highlander cover. She did that with the Daegus portraits in Kiss of the Highlander. We never heard any more about them, but it felt like they were supposed to be really important. And who knows? maybe their child will be mentioned in Shadowfever? We all have to wait til Dec!! grr..
