The Highlander Series really hits it's stride with this book. I'm really enjoying them!

A friend gave it to me for Christmas. Apparently Kiss of the highlander was originally published as a stand alone book. Before the series was created. I asked my friend if I could skip around. I would read the book after Kiss of the Highlander and she said it would work. I think if I like it I will read the whole series. I have seen some mediocre reviews on book 1 though.
KMM says Kiss of the Highlander and the one after The Dark Highlander could stand alone, but they do work as series. For me book 1 was good enough to want to continue the series, but not enough that I felt I needed to do it right away.
Book 1 & 2 go together. Then book 3 really starts the stories that continue to reference each other. But if you decide to read the series, there's a fae character that plays a major role in the first book and continues to appear.
I'm confused. How many books are we reading?-------------
EASY Read one book with a red cover and one with a pink cover.
Read 2 romance books
-------------
Does this mean read 1 red and 1 pink for a total of 2 books. OR 1 red and 1 pink and 2 romance books for a total of 4 books?
I'm doing this one but I'm going to post it on my thread.

Ok, that must be what my friend was talking about. Thank you Tara! I may try to read the entire series after Kiss and Dark.

Amanda, Let me know how you like what's a ghoul to do. It looks interesting and I haven't heard of that author before. Thanks :)

Me too Danielle. I have read the first two books.
There is a group read for the Nightkeepers books on the Black Dagger Brotherhood group, so I'm going to try to read all three of those.
The fourth one comes out in feb. I think, Demonkeepers.
I have it on my TBR as well. Be sure to share comments!
I am going to try to stay in the middle this time. I will have to head to my local used bookstore and find my books this weekend. I do know one of my red ones.....

Does
have enough red to qualify?
I agree with Alycia. The challenge is supposed to be fun, so just find books as close as you can. Which authors are in Inked again? I remember Chance as one...
Inked has Karen Chance, Marjorie M. Liu, Yasmine Galenorn and Eileen Wilks
I love Karen Chance, but I have heard of and not read the other three. Sounds like a good anthology. Mind sharing your comments when you are done?
I'm going with the EASY level on this one, I already have too many challenges going and this is a short month.Red cover Red Fire
Pink cover Hallowed Circle
Romance #1 Dark Seduction
Romance #2 Hotter After Midnight

If you haven't read Yasmine Galenorn, she has a great series out called Sisters of the Moon. It is about 3 half fae/half human sisters. One is a witch, one a vampire and one a shapeshifter. I waited till today to start the 7th one, so I could use it for this challenge.
I've seen them, thought about buying them, and never have. I don't know why, though.
