tuttidolci 's review for:

The Immortal Highlander by Karen Marie Moning
3.0

I liked how Adam Black, despite having been a scoundrel, a liar, and a devil in previous books, redeems himself (and even becomes a "man" of worth) in The Immortal Highlander. However, as I read further, I found myself often asking, "What makes his love interest more special than all of the women he's bedded in his six thousand years?" I came to the end of the book and still didn't get it. Why he chose HER over any other is still a bit of a puzzle. I mean, in six thousand years, only two mortal women have ever denied him? And that made them all the more alluring to him? Eh.

And SPOILER ALERT: Adam trades in his immortality for a humaN life with her AND suddenly grows a soul (where Tuatha De have none)? With no explanation as to why? Uh, okay, Ms. Moning. *shrugs*

That said, I really enjoy Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series as a whole, and the book was an enjoyable read overall, but this story in particular didn't move me as much.

3 stars.
