myntop 's review for:

High Voltage by Karen Marie Moning
4.0

I love KMM and I love the Fever world. I just didn't like this book as much as I've loved all the others. I'm not sure what it was about this book, but for the first half I felt a very real disconnect between me and the characters and that's never happened before.

Luckily, after I got to the 2nd half of the book, I was back to my KMM/Fever loving self and I found myself really enthralled. I loved Dani and Ryodan together and I was very frightened of what was happening to Dani. I enjoy the exchanges between Dani and Ryodan and find them an intriguing couple.

I did miss Mac in this book and I hope we get to see more of her in future books. I would have liked a little more of Barrons and the rest of the Nine too. I think we're all just so used to Barrons and Mac that it's weird to see a book with so little of them.

There's definite foreshadowing for a future conflict between the fae and the humans so I'm eager to see what comes next from this series. I would also like to see more about Sean and Christian.

Even though I rated this book a 4 star instead of my usual 5, I really did end up loving it and it was only the slow start that made me knock it down a star.
