I know! I've enjoyed it a lot. Just book #5 to go. :)

There is nothing sexy about a 14 year old - at all. My niece is 13 and that just wigs me out. I agree.

[Regina]

I am hoping it moves past this theme, I don't get why she didn't make her 16 or 17 (like Rose in Vamp Academy).

[Regina]

Tellulah, exactly. Christian was always my favorite and I think it is because I loved the men from the Highlander series (books 4++ of course, lol not the first three). Well I am diving back in now.

Still sick, 5 soccer games later, after 4 hours of working, 2 beers later and I am going to read.

[Kay]

Regina, I realized that (view spoiler)[ Rowena forced her but I can't remember why. I still don't remember. I think maybe b/c Alina was causing trouble or asking too many questions?? (hide spoiler)]

The Christian POV about Dani also makes me uneasy. At times while I'm reading about dani, I forget that she's 14 but then Moning throws in words that make me remember that she's only 14. I just hope Dani will be older and ready when she starts throwing sex in the mix.

I'm halfway done now and I'm sooooo enjoying it! It makes me kind of sad to think that the next book won't be out until next year. I'll just have to enjoy this slowly.

Relax... wow what a day!

[Leea]

Had my sons birthday party - 12 kids at the zap zone... then family back at the house for dinner, i'm so tired. Lets hope the kids sleep in with the time change. Now it's wine with my hubby!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I'm only about 30% into Iced. I can't seem to get a real chunk of time to read right now and I want to be able to read it all at once, so I keep falling back on shorter reads.

I had hoped Dani was going to be aged. I don't know why Moning couldn't have worked in at least another year or two on Dani...there could have been some header at the start saying, "2 years after..."

(view spoiler)[Christian didn't creep me out necessarily because random thoughts of what someone would be like in the future might be normal, but what did bother me was that he had NO real reason to be so fond of her so fast. Maybe if they'd spent time together and he saw that she was going to grow into an amazing woman or something, but any adult man spending one day with a girl that young wouldn't immediately be that impressed by some attitude to the point of throwing out their entire moral compass. (hide spoiler)]

sounds like a crazy day Leea!

It's okay, I understand.

[Domino (aka Meme)]

started and then came in from the library. need to get this one read and returned, but i'm already in to Taking a Shot. i'm not good at reading more than one book at a time unless its a classic and something else so i'll just have to make do.

Your suggestion about "2 yrs after" ties into my biggest issue with this book. (view spoiler)[ Fever is not about some woman who goes to Dublin, discovers she's sidhe seer and has to help save the world. Those are all just complications to her actual goal which is to find out who killed her sister. It very specifically has to be Mac's story- gives it a personalization and an intimacy against the bigger global issues going on. For me, I was invested at a whole other level because of the urgency of this goal. It was primal.

So now we have ICED. WHy now? Why not in 2 yrs? Really, it could have been any time. There was nothing that personalized it with Dani for me. This could have been any sidhe seer's story (and kind of is because we get Kat's POV as well). I wish that KMM had chosen a specific, personal goal for Dani to cement this story. Let everything else be a complication to that instead of just feeling for me, like it was a bunch of running around. The only thing that jumping ahead in time would have lost was immediacy of Mac sticking the sword in her back at the end. But since I don't believe for a second she intends to kill her, it's a fake out anyways.

My long winded way of saying, I wish there had been a personal, specific reason for this story. (hide spoiler)]

Loved the Batman/Robin dynamic though.

[Leea]

Tellulah - I feel the exact same way and i'm only at 22%, while I was just reading, I was thinking 'What is Dani's goal here?' I don't know, she's just running around, eating snickers and has what seems to be a bag load of admirers.

Stacia, I also agree, I love Christian but it was an all of a sudden moment when they're first reunited.

I think 2 years would have made more sense... She could have done 3 or 4 because anything can happen in KMM world. Haha!

Haven't had much time to read, so i've also been reading a few chapters at a time. I do think i'm going to do my review like "The world according to Dani" haha!

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

I just finished by Theresa Weir, which was a strange and guirky contemporary romance. The H and h were very eccentric (well every character was really) and it totally worked. I really liked it.

Now I'm reading by Michelle Rowen, which is a very funny PNR filled with supernaturals. I haven't read a good PNR is such a long time so this was a nice surprise. I'm about 50% in and so far I'm really liking it.

[Kay]

I finished and I really liked it. Dani is so young and still have lots to learn so I can't wait to read about her when she's older.

I don't know what to read now. Iced put me on a Fever high so other books just can't compare now.

[Regina]

That is great! That gives me hope Kay.

AFter my crazy weekend I am sick again. :( Too sick to read. I am just laying and listening to audio books.

[Lori]

I have high hopes for this "new" KMM series that continues Fever, but I have to say, Iced A Dani O'Malley novel didn't seem like "all that" to me...

I, too, was frustrated with Christian, on many levels. And after reading the Highlander series, it bugged me that all his family just left him in Dublin - no help, no support, nothing. That doesn't sound like the MacKeltar (Keltar?) family at all. Even if we had some little blurb (view spoiler)[about his uncles trying to turn him back from Unseelie Prince (hide spoiler)] or something! I guess the idea with his obsessing over Dani is supposed to be tied to his "change", but still... *shudder*

I also really missed Mac and Barrons. It just doesn't seem realistic that they wouldn't have been involved at all in this book. OK, we see Barrons for like, one scen, but still...

That's great Kay! I'm still slowly reading... it's been so busy around here. Ugh!

Regina, i'm sorry you're sick again, hope you get some rest and feel better soon.

[Jocelin]

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. . Not really feeling this one. It is taking me quite a while to read this one. The story is not that compelling.

[Kit★]

Just finished

I haven't read any of her Highlander books so I have no clue about Christian's family. I also agree with you about the ending (view spoiler)[ and Mac. I'm sure she isn't there to hurt Dani. (hide spoiler)]

It didn't bother me that Mac & Barrons wasn't really in the book. I like Dani, Ryodan and Christian. It's a different dynamic and I can just imagine where Moning will take it in the future. I also appreciate how Moning writes the mystery and action. i know the book has lots of mixed reviews ...I will just say that I'm one of the ones that really liked Iced.

I hope you feel better, Regina!!

[Kay]

I decided to get back into Virgin River so I started . I have missed this small little town and their hot men!

[Regina]

Thanks Kay!

Oh glad to have you back! I think I loved #4 - that is with them in that old shack, right?

I am having a hard time getting in to Fever. I am not sure if it is because I am sick and so tired, or if it is because I just don't care about Dani's story.

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

Kay wrote: "I decided to get back into Virgin River so I started . I have missed this small little town and their hot men!"

I own Book 1 and have been meaning to read it. I really need to move that up my TBR list.

On another note, I think I'm one of the very few that couldn't get into the Fever series. I read Book 1 & 2 but wasn't able to finish the series.

Anyhoo, finished ; loved it. Next up is Book 2

yes...in the old shack. It hasn't heated up yet but I'm anticipating it will!

Rachel, it's a fun small town romance series. So, when you're in the mood for it, definitely pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

[Leea]

That's great Kay! I loved that book, it's always nice coming bak to Virgin river.

Okay so ICED isn't really holding my interest. Just seems drawn out and Christian is creeping me out. Eww!

Hope you feel better Regina!

[Kay]

Leea wrote: "That's great Kay! I loved that book, it's always nice coming bak to Virgin river."

Yes, very nice.

So, I know we've both been busy. You had your son's bday last weekend and I'm planning for Ethan's bday party this Saturday. Can we push out our read for Children of Liberty again?

[Regina]

Wow Leea, you and I are having the same reaction. I just feel like what Tellulah said above was so right on. In Fever this was this bigger stronger Mac was involved in -- with Dani, I just don't care what this struggle is.

Sounds great. I love small town romances. :) I think I would like to live in a small town. Actually, I'd love to live somewhere with a lot of wide open spaces and natural beauty. I live in NYC and the older I get, the less it appeals to me.

[Regina]

The great thing about the Virgin River books is there is good character development and it does get really steamy, plus like in BDB, the characters come back in later books. To enjoy, you have to be okay with lots of babies, pregnancy and detailed food descriptions. ;)

[Kay]

Regina wrote: "To enjoy, you have to be okay with lots of babies, pregnancy and detailed food descriptions. ;)"

Exactly! I couldn't have written it better!

[Kay]

Rachel, how are you enjoying those Michelle Rowen books? Is it steamy? I read her Immortality Bites books , which lacked sex :( but was very funny. I did somewhat enjoy but haven't revisited any of her other books.

[Rachel the Book Harlot]

lol I'm okay with that, especially the food descriptions. I can't cook to save my life but I sure love to chow down. My idea of heaven is a place where you can eat, and eat, and eat some more without ever gaining a pound...or spend one moment on the treadmill. :)

[D.G.]

I was supposed to start Iced soon but got derailed by another audio: Kiss an Angel. Really unique so far...a bit dated though because it was written in the mid-90s.

[Megan]

Finished . Currently reading .

Agree! Love that series!

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Janet Evanovich this morning. Stephanie's adventures still make me laugh after 11 novels. There are so many hilarious and witty scenes in this book. But I have to admit I was a bit annoyed by Stephanie in this book. I just wish she'd finally choose between Joe Morelli and Ranger! http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now I'm reading by Kate Morton.

[Regina]

I switched to the audio version of and it is done really really well! I am liking the audio version better or maybe I just hit the action part. Phil Gigante reading Christian's and Ryodan's parts makes them very nice to listen to!

[Regina]

Where are you at? I'm just to 47%, chap 20.

[Regina]

I think you are farther than me. I am at the part where (view spoiler)[ she is taking of her clothes b/c she is freezing to death. (hide spoiler)]

Are you liking it better?

[Regina]

I loved the Mac and Barrons sighting. :)

[Leea]

Yeah that's a good part but also creepy. I think it's picked up or in just now accustomed to Dani's world.

[Regina]

Oh yeah, now I just got to the really creepy part. Okay, what is the purpose of this? I feel like it is a re-enactment of the scene in (Twilight #3 where Bella is freezing and Edward can't warm her up so Jacob does -- except Bella was older!)

[Leea]

You're right. Haha!! I have mixed feelings about how they see her, I know that's wrong but I think I just love Christian and want him to be good like his father and uncles were. Keep reading... I think he's beyond saving.

[Regina]

Oh no! I was starting to be sympathetic for him again. I just love those MacKeltars. I am pulling for him ..

[Leea]

I hope I'm wrong I just adore him. What do you think of dancer?

[Regina]

I like him, but I am supsicious. I have to admire someone who stands up to an unseelie prince and Ryodan. But I am also suspicious, I doubt he is human or if he is, I don't know ...

[Leea]

Yeah, he's almost too good to be true. Dani's age is really bothering me...
