Countdown to Burned Release
I am keeping the faith till the 20/01/2015!! You lady's needs to be strong know!!!! Only 23 days to go. But Winnie you r on the money with your theory's .
Cliffhanger 110% in Burned it is going to be way more serious then Iced!
Karen Marie Moning Kelly-Ann, they are still main focus. The stories had to be intertwined. Secondary narrator does not mean secondary character. That's what Karen was trying to explain above. LeihaAugust 28 at 3:32pm · 9 KMM explaining that Dani and Ryodan r still the main focus of Burned!! On her Facebook pg after fans where upset about the Mac POV in Burned
I really hope that Dani and Ryo really do have enough screen time. Hopefully the reason all the reviews talk about Mac so much is that they want to appease the Mac and Barrons fans into buying the books. And they don't want to spoil the good parts. *cough the Dani-Ryo parts cough*
I think the free passage is Mac talking or Dani but I think it is Mac the grey woman ask for free passage after the Dani incident in Shadowfever!!
I'm wondering when the grey lady will come back for that debt owed her.
Maybe in Burned? That is why we get the free passage quote ?
I didn't even think of grey lady with that one.
Just one of my theory's Samantha! It is just the only incident I can remember where free passage was mention? The grey woman ask for free passage for her and her kind.
I was away from GR for a few days and come back to almost 100 new messages on this thread! I'm seeing some great theories being tossed around!
And that review!! Eeek, that makes me even more excited/scared/excited!
I should finish re-reading book 4 tonight. It will only take me about a week to read Shadowfever and less than that to read Iced. I really need Burned to be released at least a week early so I can go straight from Iced to it! lol
Lol. Girl I might re-listen to Iced. I need a fix.
KimeyDiann enjoy the re-read I finished Shadowfever today. I will start iced next week. I understand a lot better now! Some stuff R making more sense. There is this one thing that Is freaking me out. And it is the Fiona/ Dani comparison!! Fiona new what the nine was and she was aloud to know that thy can not die!!!! The same as Dani!!! My problem with this is the following.Not Mac or Jo is supposed to know that the nine can die ever? Mac found out by accident!! Ryodan is doing everything in his power to keep Jo in the Dark.He even tells Dani to not tell Jo about him not being Abel to die !!!! There is a scene in Shadowfever where Lor tells Mac that if Barron's tells her anything about them she will die. Mac replies by saying that Fiona was aloud to know why not her !! Lor replies with the following Fiona was a doormat !!!!!!! So what does this make Dani in there eyes? Is she Ryodan doormat??
No. She is not a doormat. She knows how to be discreet. Ryo already say that.
Samantha you know I am 110%team Ryodan!! But I am starting to get a real bad vibe from all the blurbs and reviews! I think KMM has changed the HEA for Dani! KMM said that she will give Dani the perfect HEA for her? I think Jo might be Ryodan permanent Ho ! KMM said peeps wanted Jo dead but it will not happen !
Inanda take a deep breath. Lol. KMM already confirmed to us that Jo and Ryodan can never be a permanent thing. She told us to trust her to deliver a satisfying love story like with Mac and Barrons. If anything, I still trust her on that.I think dani is allowed to know and not jo because Jo does not have any reason to know and it would be a shame to kill her just for the sake of protecting their secret. The nine doesn't disclose their secret to just anyone. Ryo knows dani is dependable. Furthermore, like Mac to Barrons, dani is the one he plans to keep around in his circle. Sooner or later she'll know, so it doesn't matter that she knows now.
Keep the faith!
Ooooohoooo now I feel better again!! I will keep the faith because I want them to be together. Thanks cookie

Ok ok I was going loopy !!! But re reading all the books can lead to fever overload.Thanks for the wake up call!! Samantha and Cookie
To me, there's not even room for doubt that Dani and Ryodan will end up together. Now we just have to sit back and see their story unfold :)

There is this one thing that Is freaking me ou..."Did Fio really know what the nine are? I mean, all of the details about them? She obviously knows that Barrons does not age because I got the impression she had been with him for a very long time. But does it every actually say that she knows what they are and that they can never die? I know that she knows a LOT about Barrons, but I don't think she could have known everything and still been allowed to live, doormat or not. The Nine kill anyone who learns too much about them.
It probably also has to do with the fact that Dani seems somehow related to the nine anyway. With her similar powers and all. As well as the fact that they respect and like Dani. Whereas they never respected nor really liked Mac.
She is not related to them. I don't believe that. But she has earn their respect.
Yes Dani is not related to the nine I do think she has similar powers. But both Christian and Ryodan has insinuated that Dani have evolved, she is no mere human!
Cookie wrote: "Haha Winnie, I'm feeling a little right you now as well. Is there any hopes for us Dani fans anymore."I think it will be good. I just have to stop reading the reviews of the book. Mac was a great character and I don't think KMM ever disappointed her fans (except from Mac fans when Iced came out). So I'm sure it will be good.
Now I'm wondering if it is Mac that will try to save Christan and not Dani, or maybe Dani and Mac will become friends again in search for Christian. Ryodan has messed up some with the Jo affair/fling/relationship so I hope he fixes things up in Burned, god I hope Jo turns out to have cooperated with Cruce all along. And she is the one manipulating Ryodan and not the other way around. That would really be fun to read. . And call me a romantic, but I hope that every one of the nine only have ONE mate in their lifetime, and as Kasteo lost his there can't be another for them. So Dani is Ryodan's mate and he is therefore overly possessive of her :)
Yeah, I think it will be good too. Winnie, I am a romantic too, but it just would seem too perfect to me if all the 9 got soulmates! I mean, it would be nice for them, but I just doubt that KMM would do that. It would be very JR Ward. :)Wow that review was exciting!
To hear "Dani O’Malley is still very much a central figure in this story" was a big relief!
This part really got me: "a number of old wounds, sins and betrayals return to haunt Mac, Barrons and their band of fierce warriors, making this a surprisingly emotional story, especially for those deeply engaged fans... numerous revelations and plot twists are sure to make the wait for the next installment a grueling one."
What do you guys think the numerous plot twists and revelations will be? I am hoping for lots of shocking reveals about Dani (how she was involved in the death of her mother, and then did someone else say in this thread that it will come out that she was sexually abused as a child?)... that would be crazy if what Winnie said was true and Jo is using Ryodan... Mac's Mom is the founder of We Care... maybe Barrons and Ryodan will be pitted against each other? and Dancer betrays Dani big time.
I don't think she was abused as a child.
I don't think she was sexually abuse as I child either. KMM had to much BS about the hole pedophile story with Dani age and the older men to go that route.
I definitely HOPE she wasn't!
Little Feather wrote: "I definitely HOPE she wasn't!"I won't even entertain it. Lol
Yeah I thought Dani was adamant she wasn't 'played' with in that manner while she was in her cage.
Dani was neglected by being left for hours and hours, though. Ryo did mention about how Dani's mother's boyfriends played with her, but I don't think it was in a sexual way.
Wait, in what way did the boyfriends play with her then? Like taunting and verbally abusing her? I feel so bad for Dani. Beneath all that hardy veneer is something else entirely...
That's true. She shut that down quick. However, I think she had something to do with her mother's death. Maybe that Observer. I'm thinking something horrible went down and she went off.
Cookie wrote: "Wait, in what way did the boyfriends play with her then? Like taunting and verbally abusing her? I feel so bad for Dani. Beneath all that hardy veneer is something else entirely..."I think they were playing around and teasing her. Not touching her. Maybe one of them tried and she went crazy and had to kill up him and momma dukes. That was one of my scenario for the mother dying. LOL.
It's possible the Observer killed her mother too. We never found out how she died, right?

LMAO that's too funny. Puking to death. What a glorious way to go out.
Cookie wrote: "It's possible the Observer killed her mother too. We never found out how she died, right?"Nope. Ryodan brings up that she shouldn't throw stones at glass houses and asks how did her mother die. Just to get at her. She doesn't take the bait. LOL.
Samantha wrote: "Cookie wrote: "It's possible the Observer killed her mother too. We never found out how she died, right?"Nope. Ryodan brings up that she shouldn't throw stones at glass houses and asks how did he..."
In one of the Mac books I remember her telling Mac that a Fae killed her mum, do you think that was just a lie?
I didn't know that info until now. But it could've been a lie to protect dani or something, what with her being so young. However Rowena had not reason to hide it for it, since she made her kill at nine years old.
Cookie wrote: "I didn't know that info until now. But it could've been a lie to protect dani or something, what with her being so young.

But I got the impression that Dani was on some weird subconscious level aware of the stuff her 'observer' side had done.
It might have been easier to believe it because she didn't know for sure. Would you really want to say you killed your mom. Dani has a hard time accepting things like that.
Samantha wrote: "It might have been easier to believe it because she didn't know for sure. Would you really want to say you killed your mom. Dani has a hard time accepting things like that."Yeah maybe. Do you guys think that Dani is going to snap and go all observer in the next books and then Ryodan will have to bring her out of it?
Thought it initially. Now I think maybe the next book after Burned. I even thought he saw her in Observer mode before like when be was watching her when she was young. KMM says he knows things that we didn't know yet.
my guess is that Dani played a role in her mom's death while in observer mode. since her observer tells her survival is paramount. but the fae were probably involved as well.yes I can imagine Dani going observer mode when she is older and Ryodan can't snap her out of it, so he kisses her out of it! it could be their first kiss and a huge shock to her but she could secretly love it and it would bring her back to herself.

I don't know. My mind is spinning off of that review. What reason could she possibly turn on Mac. She loves her like a sister and she wants Mac back in her life.
