zmorris1923 's review for:
The Immortal Highlander
by Karen Marie Moning
I must admit, I'm not often one for romance novels, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
The story follows a woman named Gabby who can see fairies as well as Adam Black, a fairy. You can probably see where this is going...
The book itself seemed to be the perfect length for the story. I read the book in something like 3 days because it was entertaining. It's not that I couldn't put it down, but it was compelling enough to continue.
The plot of the book wasn't the best--Adam Black was transformed into a human, but only one of the Sidhe-Seers could see him (where Gabby comes in). The book tells the story of his struggle to become immortal again, while also trying to seduce Gabby. There's also times where the book goes into fairy court politics, following a fairy named Darroc who is Black's arch-nemesis, and his ne-fairy-ous (see what I did there) plans, but the climax (Maybe I should use a different word for a romance novel) of that specific story-line wasn't as drawn out or interesting.
The beginning of *The Immortal Highlander* was probably the worst part of the book, where Adam Black seems predatory and manipulative, but as the story continued, that impression of Black went away. The ending of the book was a good way to wrap it up I think--I had been wondering how Moning would do it, and I think she did it well.
I don't know if I would read another romance novel, but I can say that I liked this book. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find a romance novel I'll *fall in love with*.
