High Voltage (Fever)

Sooooo good, anybody who has not started to read this series and are seeing this book first time start with first book you will be glad that you did... This author is awesome. I have read everyone of her books, i actually started with the highlander series.

The best f*ing book out of the ENTIRE fever series. THE BEST ONE. I relate so hard and this writing had me drooling page after page. Well done. WHAT IS NEXT?! Someone recommend me book (series preferred) that has writing like this. The eloquence and passion combined with the down to earth language is so difficult to find.

Most well written series in this genre, bar none. These characters feel like my family. Such well developed characters, story line compelling and intriguing, everything your heart desires. Karen Marie Moning, you rock!!

Love all of the fever series. Always buy the book and the audiobooks until the last two. So very disappointed in the audio book versions, I really miss the original narrators so ended up and just got the books only on the last two.

Let me start by saying that Moning is one of my favorites, and I have loved the fever series. I have read the books so many times I've lost count, paid for the audio versions and even the paper versions just so they are always handy. There have been a few questionable turns along the way, certain points I respectfully disagree makes sense for the character(s) involved, but it has never totally turned me off; I trusted the author to get us to where we were supposed to be eventually, and the tension and buildup seemed worth it in the end. Things started getting a bit sketchy with the Dani portion of the series, especially the "Jada" storyline, but I was more than willing to pre-order this months in advance and still read the book in a day. I love Dani, and Ryodan, and was always hoping for a HEA for them.

As much as I enjoyed this book, however - and I did enjoy it - I can't say it lived up to the author's prior works. More than the books before, this one gave the impression of rushing along, in ways that (respectfully) did not truly make sense to the characters, their prior backstories or development. Although there were some cute literary tricks that I admit I enjoyed, the plot holes and deviations remained ever-present and obvious throughout the book, making the overall book less than I believe it could have been. The primary antagonist was a mere afterthought to the "development" of Dani and Ryoden's relationship, with its motivations, backstory, and ultimate "climax" raced through in a handful of scenes, many of which jumped so fast from Point A to Point Z that one wonders why he was there in the first place. The "lesser" bad guy, appears in two scenes, is never explained, even to what the heck he supposedly did (besides the obvious), that again, it's not clear why he was there or what his real purpose was (particularly when a simple telephone call would have done the same thing as "a god"). Then there's a handful of "side plots" involving Christian, Mac, Barrons, Jayne, Kat, Sean, and a couple of other minor characters which appear to have been introduced just so we didn't think that they all weren't still lurking around, but none of which actually appear to go anywhere.

The main disservice of this book, though, is that Dani and Ryodan's "courtship" falls flat in this book. In the first Dani book, she's too young. Problem "solved" in the second, where she disappears in the silvers for years and comes back "old enough" for Ryodan, only to have the whole Jada/Dancer issue. In trying not to give any spoilers for this book, suffice to say Ryodan's actions (and frankly Dani's) the first several chapters of this book appear to run directly contrary to everything both characters have done and stood for in the past. Moning has to get them back together again, though after yet another time jump (it's starting to feel like Moning is literally fast-forwarding through her own series at this point), so through unexplained acts, she does. What happens thereafter happens so quickly, however, that it is like a switch being flipped - one minute they're this way, the next they're another. Couple that with the many holes with the "Shazaam" story-line (seriously, the whole "mate" thing was disgusting and creepy, plus what the hell does the eventual "explanation" do to the notion that Dani/Jada "lost" Shazaam in the second book, and don't EVEN get me started on the "red string" issue), and you have a book which, while overall entertaining, completely jumps the shark. I'm always happy for a HEA, but I sincerely hope Ms. Moning is more her old self with the next installment of this series....

This fever series of books is a favorite of mine, have loved Barrons, the nine and the women they love, all the depth of magical beings, the Fae, old Gods and of course Ireland, what's not to love!! Have read this series multiple times!!

I've never liked Dani until Jada. The whole feck this and feck that annoyed the hell outta me. Jada is no more, but is Dani again. She and Ryodan are just like Mac and Barrons now, right down to the silent conversations it's a slow starter but does have some spectacular revelations. It's worth the read, but not what I was hoping for.

I loved the story between Mac and Barron's in her previous books. I know KMM said their story was done and we would now pivot to Dani. I think my primary issue is that I never really connected with Dani. Definitely found her annoying in earlier novels when she was young and the clumsy aging of her was just awkward. So, here we go again with yet another aging mechanism in this book so she would be in her twenties when she and Ryodan finally came together.

I feel like there was quite a bit of clumsy in this book. So much felt like filler instead of moving the story along. I knew I was only half interested in Dani's story when I felt more interested and engaged when Dani briefly encountered characters such as Christian and Barrons.

Overall, this book wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. More of mediocre than anything else.

I think he was developed more in previous books. There wasn't enough action in this book. Certainly not enough content to take us from Dani with Dancer to Dani in love with Ryodan. Where is the angst, where is the witty banter?

*This review will contain spoilers*

This book started off strong for me. I was excited! Finally we get a whole Dani book! I LOVED Iced and the way the Fever series wrapped up. I counted the days down until this release and eagerly followed all things KMM. I feel extremely let down and disappointed with this book. The characters felt foreign and how the story unfolded was bizarre. It just didn't feel like a KMM book to me.

Things I liked:
I LOVE Dani as the "Mega." Her dialogue in this book made me laugh and smile a lot. I really liked the interaction with the other Sidhe-Seers. I liked how they created a new order. I love Shazam and the dialogue between him and Dani. This was another point of humor in the book. The mention of the old Gods was interesting to me as well. The Kat story line peaked my interest. I am curious to see how things will unfold with her daughter.

Things I didn't like:
Dani's inner dialogue sounded too much like Mac. There was endless rambling and I found myself start to lose focus because it went on and on and on. I also don't like the important life advice that was inserted every three pages (there was almost an entire page devoted to Dani's thoughts on depression, which was nice, but had no significance on the direction of the story). When Ryodan would "preach" (it felt like preaching) to Dani about things I had to stop myself from skipping pages to get to the next chapter.

The characters didn't feel like their previous selves. Ryodan was missing for a third of the book and when he appeared he was a softer and sweeter version of himself. I half expected him to show up with roses and chocolates to "woo" Dani. In Feversong we see Christian having a hard time dealing with being Death. He appears in this book and has things under control. How? Why? What happened? I like Christian, but he could have been omitted from this book with no real change in the plot.

The main plot point of the god Balor was a let down. There is this build up about having a final confrontation between the "good guys" and Balor, but it just ended in two sentences. What??? Is this the same author who had a 9 book story arc? I know this was a stand alone, but majority of the book was spent building to something and then it fell short of a firm resolution.

The thing I disliked about this book was Dani becoming a Hunter. That was ridiculous to me and I don't understand why KMM went in this direction. Dani is the MEGA! She is a superhero with amazing skills and power. She was so intricately developed in the first 9 books...to become a dragon!?! I understand the theme of Dani not being caged or held down, but this made no sense to me. I did not appreciate Shazam being Dani's Hunter mentor. That was really weird to me. Shazam and Y'rill were polar opposites. Maybe that was the point, but it didn't flow very good. I felt like Shazam completed Dani and gave her a purpose. Then it turns out Y'rill is Shazam and is now going to "mother" Hunter Dani. Why couldn't it be just as it was?

KMM said there were "big things" in High Voltage, but for the life of me I can't figure out what they were. Everything just fell short of my expectations and the build up to this book was insane. I think there is such a loyal following of KMM that this review probably won't mean anything (other then getting flayed by that following), but I won't be eagerly anticipating the next book. At about 400 pages, a year between books is too long. I think KMM could go the way of other similar authors and release two a year or novellas in between books. I think maybe these characters could have ended with Feversong. It did not feel like KMM was into telling this story or really even wanted to write it.

I have read every book by this Author and this q the first one that I have been disappointed in.She always tries to teach life lessons in her writing but I felt this was more a sermon instead on a good book to lose yourself
in.I have always given her books 5 Stars but this one was not up to her usual standards

I loved all the other books before this one. As I read on I kept getting the feeling that there could have been so much more to Dani and Ryodan finally realizing their love for each other. There was veey little description and what was felt brief. The transition and development of the plot was too quick. The book before did not do a great job of leading into this book and the plot feels rushed. Too much, too fast, and not enough of the main love story. I was really looking forward to this book delving deeper into Dani and Ryodans back story. Unfortunately I'm disappointed. There were times when the Arthur gave us information without back story, just jamming it in there further rushing the story. This book was all over the place.

SPOILER ALERTS***This is last time I catch the Fever. I paid $16 for this ebook, which is pretty steep for something that doesn't cost money to print and bind. So you'll know how much I enjoy Moning's book to have handed over the cash a week before the book was actually released. Anyway, I was so glad to have an exclusively Dani book that I couldn't wait to get this e-book in my hands. It may be blasphemy to the Fever series to say I never liked Mac and was glad she wasn't in this story, aside from a brief mention or two.

It pains me to say how disappointed I was in the culmination of the slow build-up and grow-up of Dani and Ryodan's love. The book seemed like a chain of meaningless occurrences for in the in-between time when Mac makes her return, probably in control of her new powers and badass as ever. Just as fans anticipate that Dani is ready to finally set her stubbornness aside and embrace her love of Ryodan we spend the first 3/4 of the book reading about her turning into something untouchable. How convenient? How is Dani not a complete mess? Her childhood was downright awful and her adulthood is not much better. She spends all her time running from one mess to another, killing both enemy and inadvertently people she had no intention of killing but did so anyway.

I also started to notice just how immature just about everyone in this book behaves when things go wrong. When Dani gets mad with Ryodan she tries to beat him up. When Ryodan gets angry with something that Dani has or hasn't done or with the thought of losing her he destroys his property in a fit of rage. When they are parted for two years instead of calling one another each blames the other for never even attempting to contact the other one. And Ryodan leaves for two years so that Dani can... have relationships with other people? Find herself? Grow up? Come on!

Enter one-eyed monster, who wreaks havoc for maybe a paragraph. There is a build-up to the fight with this big bruiser that ends in half a page before Dani does the predictable. Then she just disappears. No explanation for how she ends up in the cosmos when seconds before she was on a battlefield. Dani doesn't even ask. Just like she doesn't ask Ryodan why he shows up at her doorstep half dead from starvation when he first shifts back into his human form . Instead of asking what hell he's been through she immediately blames him for not calling her even though she has the 'phone' and then starts to pick a fight. Sweet. When these two star crossed lovers finally get together its just like the battle scene, half a page of passionless grope and poke that would have made me slam my e-book closed if it hadn't occurred about 20 pages before the book ended and I was like, matter as well finish.

I started to read Ms. Moning's books back when Highlander Series first came out and she has steadfastly remained one of my favorite authors, but this will be the end of the Fever world for me.

Moning's Fever series has been one of my favorites. I loved Barrons, Mac, Ryoden, Dani and the other characters that populated Moning's Dublin. I looked forward to High Voltage, hoping Dani's story would finally be told. Well, it was told, but the story was a mess.

For me, Moning's strength has always been her characters. The mythologies underpinning her world were okay, but not interesting without the compelling people populating her stories. In this book, the ratio of great characters to backstory and mythology changed. Too much time was spent on explanation rather than story, and the explanations often felt contrived.

I wanted to love this book as much as I loved her other books, and I'm sad that I didn't.

What the heck book were you people reading?! I love Dani, Shaz and Ryo, but literally nothing was answered. There was a solid 1/3 of the book filled with utterly useless information (we established quite enough of Dani's backstory already. If you want to waste time with backstory, fine, talk about The 9. But it was very obviously stalling.) and only new introductions, rambling in the middle and a total disregard for cohesion. There are 2 other friends in my life that voraciously go for these stories and we are all just sitting here like: (furious) What?

Here's why:

We know that "some people" are still very much alive in the last books, and this issue never surfaces. Expecting resolution there? Expect to be disappointed. We are instead told of a new conflict with the new unseelie princes, and that conflict never even approaches a suitable stopping point either. Oh! And a fun, entirely new caste of problem that, surprise, unresolved. How do you kill these things? *shrug* Where are they in all of this? (Actually, this question is solved by a 20 page narration that is supposed to be occurring as a bonfire discussion, but reads like exactly what it is: a patch to the gaping holes left in the plot line that should have been filled by actions and creativity instead of just shat onto the page.)

Okay, so what does happen?
There is so much really, really bad relationship advice and the most CRINGEY declarations about love that pulled me completely out of the expected, indulgently cheesy romance fantasy escape. For example: there is this huge from-the-pedestal rant about how real love encourages the other person to "evolve" (okay fine, I mean it was cheesy, but I'm with you) and then shortly after goes on to talk about "embracing the devolution of the beast" (contradiction in your first point) and crescendos with this utter gem: "Love doesn't build cages. It builds stairways to the stars." I threw my phone. Just. No.

The laborious dissection and rants on what love is and isn't reads like someone is going through a breakup, or yelling at their ex. What audience wants to be lectured like this? Stop pulling me out of fae land, backward Oprah! Get out of your own way and let the story tell itself!

Not to mention, the phrase "high voltage" is mentioned 2,938 times. *Throws phone again*

I know we aren't here because of the incredible writing, I know that, okay? But at least with Dani's character, she's interesting and dynamic and a nice refresh from Macs incessant self obsession. You would think being in Dani's brain would be similar. Nope. Same Mac, different (contrived) vocabulary. And, if I'm not here for the writing or the romantic waxing, give me the story! Nope.

I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but just trust me, it is loaded with cop-outs. Its almost like her Beta readers are like "Hey you know, I was thinking, how come they can't hear the screams from that location? Just a thought" and so, instead of showing you why via a creative story telling mechanism, as soon as the perplexing idea comes up, Dani just blurts out "Oh, and by the way, before anyone wonders, you wouldn't be able to hear the screams because it's really deep." This happens so. many. times.

It is my hope, my desperate hope, that maybe she just switched editors. If so, please bring them back. Then rewrite this entire book. Less Dani backstory, more 9 backstory. Less roach, more Scotland. Get rid of the "new problem" and deal with the old one that we all know, and if you have to introduce a new tangent (understandable), do it slowly throughout the story (perhaps using papa roach, for example? that would have made more sense) and then really get into it in the next book. But no! She dangled along the old problem as if it would sustain the threads of cohesion. It doesn't. Because if you are going to introduce and ENTIRELY new caste here, you better have an origin story as well thought out and simply put as the rest of your ideas. You didn't. It showed.

Honestly, I'm mostly upset because I cannot shake the feeling that KMM is riding on the coattails of a fandom that has been really loyal to her, and in return that loyalty is returned with laziness. I know. Harsh. I'm telling you, this book has made me bitter.

2 stars because I love Shazam.

Karen Marie Moning has delivered yet another insightful, thought provoking novel that is full of passion and adventure that leaves readers craving for more of her works. Dani and Ryodan' s relationship ignites a love that is fiery and erotic to the point of madness, but when their truths are revealed to one another, their dynamic brings an immense feeling of joy and elation for love and life. Karen Moning answers many queries regarding the world's and characters she has crafted, whilst still leaving readers yearning for more answers to newly aroused questions. I've been a Moning fan since her books first started publishing, and will continue to relish every new work she produces.

As one of my most anticipated books this year, I had some really high expectations for HIGH VOLTAGE. This is the tenth book in the Fever series and it marks the beginning of a new journey for Dani. She walks alone in this book after Ryodan, Mac and Barrons have left. Without any of her friends, she feels lost and alone.

I’ll admit, I wasn’t a huge fan of Dani when she was first introduced into the series but already she has made so much progress with her character. If you’ve never read a KMM book before, you’re seriously missing out. Her heroines alone are worth the read. Strong and independent, they are perfect role models for any women. Despite being set in a dystopian world filled with magic and fae, the obstacles that these characters go through are very much humanlike and relatable. Dani’s biggest obstacle here is grief and I found that KMM did such a good job of conveying the emotions and dealing with it.

Ryodan and Dani’s relationship is just beginning and every time a fight occurs between them, I have to smile. For some reason, it comforts me and makes me happy because it means that things are all right in the world despite things falling apart around them.

I cried while reading this novel. KMM’s words always manage to do that to me. The emotions that her characters feel come across as very real and I’d be surprised if you weren’t affected by them. I’m glad Dani is back and we get to see the whole through her eyes again. Because as bleak as it can be, she remains to be the light that brings in hope.

I absolutely cannot wait to see where KMM takes this series next. KMM has made me her bitch and you won’t ever see my complaining about it.

After the first book in the Fever series I knew. I knew when new books from KMM came out I needed all day to read, devour them. When she told us she was going to write more for Dani I was psyched. Thrilled out of my mind. There was so much more to her journey and I needed to be there because, like so many of us, I am in the mega pod. Reflecting on it now, this one really feels like, even though you absolutely need the past books to fully understand and feel this one, that it exists on its own. She made me laugh, she made me cry (almost immediately and more than once, but only in beautiful, cathartic ways I promise), she made my heart hurt there was so much emotion, she wrote a love story, with a bit of action, a bit of mystery, but a love story first and foremost, which gives this one a different feel to every other book in the Fever world. For me, I didn’t miss the action because this story needed to be told. Its been simmering on the back burner for so long and the time—FINALLY—was right. She has said that where Mac needed to learn strength, Dani needed to learn love—both how to love and how to accept love. In that regard, KMM couldn’t have done any better.

Without giving anything away…Ryodan…oh Ryodan. KMM said once that for all those who loved Barrons? Ryodan was going to eclipse him. As a full on Ryodan fan all the way, any day, this was not going to be a problem for me. But for those of you Barrons lovers out there? Watch out. This is an epic love story, years and years in the making and that man…no spoilers. But dayum. And it is Dani, grown up, really seeing herself for the first time, understanding her actions and re-evaluating her past choices. It is the perfect bookend to Iced. They feel like yin and yang, scorching summer heat to cool inky night. It was everything I could have wanted and more. If you are die hard into Fever and were not a big fan of Iced, well, this is a Dani story all the way. We’re going through this big thing that we’ve all seen coming but she is just now opening her eyes to and feeling and allowing herself to feel. Lots of emotion flying around. But it also answers some questions for other characters that we have been dying for (and leaves more doors open in true KMM fashion, amiright?). Sitting here, writing this review after just finishing the book, I feel peaceful about it all. I feel completely relaxed and happy to know how it all goes (even if I could have used a bit more time with the ending. Meaning, I just wanted more. More time to bask and soak it up, and feel it). While there is still room to explore, places to go, baddies to encounter, fun to be had, there is seriously some long awaited and achingly sweet resolution that so many of us have craved.

Karen Marie moning forgot that there is supposed to be plot to stories. Like Dani is supposed to be epic. This entire book was her hee-hawing over Ryodan. What happened to kick ass Dani who goes on adventures? You could have made this so much better. It felt rushed, and it felt forced and as a fan of the original fever series and Iced I just felt so let down after this book.

If I could give more than 5 measly stars I would!

SO good! Absolutely everything you’ve ever wanted out of Dani and Ryodan and far more than you could ever dream!
This has everything we’ve been waiting for and than more. I can’t even put into words how good this book was.
And I can NOT wait for what’s coming next!!

*****************SPOILERS AND SOME RANTING*******************

Dani deserved much more and this book didn't do the Mega justice. I've loved Dani, I loved her since the beginning, her character was everything that Mac wasn't. The kid just slayed me! I was so disappointed when I was done with this book, after waiting so long, I fast forward through the "deleted scenes" KMM offered. I didn't care about them.

The first half of the book nothing happens -we have Dani wandering Dublin mumbling to herself. She goes through a brief grief period over Dancer- then spends most of the time whining about Ryo and everyone leaving Dublin. Is that Dani?
I was dumbstruck, bored, mad and sad all at the same time.

The second half was a whiplash through time and space (literally!!!) There was some sort of subplot with a God Baddie that was barely fleshed out enough to care about. He was swiftly removed so there's that. There were several rape scenes that are glossed over as if they never happened. WTH?

Christian, Kat, Sean, Lor and some other characters make appearances. Christian, Kat and Sean had a decent bit in the story so I think KMM may have them in mind for the next book. I've always been a Christian fan (secretly hoped Dani would end up with him if things didn't work out with Dancer. Thankfully Mac was absent, but of course, a Fever book wouldn't be right without the almighty Barrons (repeat yawns)

Shazaam's revelations were bizarre and out of sink with what took place in the previous books. It just didn't make sense. It was weird, it was creepy it ruined his/her character. Dani's transformation was something that didn't feel right either. While I loved the outcome, she's a Hunter!!!!! I wish it would have taken place over the course of several books. Also, the Shazaam part took away from how great it was! Red threads and Mama stuff, weird, just creepy weird.

And the HEA between Dani and Ryo. Another reviewer said this book was just one book explaining why 14yr old Dani should end up with Ryo. I agree. In this book, Dani is 22 "older" a "woman"- After Ryo disappears for 2 years. The constant time jumping to make it fit was too obvious- has been too obvious since Jada.
Then we are constantly thrown back to when she was 14 and first met Ryo. We're told how Ryo did this, Ryo did that, Ryo was this, Ryo was that.... all for 14yr old Dani. We get Dani telling us how when she was 14 she spied on Ryo doing the deed in his office and she wanted to do him and knew he was the one for her. SERIOUSLY??? Dani then proceeds to tell us some people do the deed the way they want others have their own way doing it and seeing it (paraphrasing cause Dani used colourful language that is not permitted here)- It's was as if KMM was saying to heck with readers who don't approve of this creepy stuff.
This is where the book completely lost me. I don't think I'll read anything more in the Fever Series.

Here lies the other rub- if you have to jump time -SEVERAL times, morph characters, kill characters and then go to lengthy explanations about your HEA's relationship.... maybe sumthings wrong with it.. Just Sayin.

I added 1 star because this story was not a Mac & Barrons story! Yay! But I can tell by the way it is written they will definitely be back again in the future. Mac & Barrons (well Barrons) are KMM bread and butter and if this book doesn't do well she'll go back to them. Can't blame her

I was willing to see this story play out cause I love Dani so much and I had faith in KMM to do right by her, I'm sad that I was wrong. I wish KMM had continued Dani's story after Iced, which was a great book! I think she could have capitalized on the YA market and made some $$$ but.... coulda, woulda, shoulda....

I took a day off to read this book and I’m so glad that I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, as Dani is my fave (Iced is the best). The world building has always been great and this book doesn’t disappoint. I would have loved more Christian, Sean, Jayne, et al; however, I believe there’s still so much story to tell in the future, so I’m sure we’ll see more of them someday soon. Is it wrong that I kind of miss the lack of a cliffhanger at the end? The plot moved very smoothly and I found myself devouring the words so quickly that I’ll have to go back and start over to savor the story more slowly. I also loved where she’s going with the old Earth gods and fae and can’t wait to see how this world continues to evolve. Bravo!

What is dead should stay dead. Like this series. When the Fever series finally ended I was happy. All the loose ends (well most of them anyway) were tied up and there was a very strong voice of “and then life went on.” Yes the Dani losing Dancer thing hurt, but it was clearly said in the epilogue that she’ll get over it in time and Ryo would be waiting for that to happen, because not like he’s getting any older. Speaking of, this book makes it very very very very clear that Dani and Ryo are OKAY together because he was aware she was 14 when he fell for her and now that she’s “grown up” and has some experience under her belt, they’re finally without outside interferences to be together. And some other stuff happened in this book but it was all so disjointed and weird, and out of the left field to the point where you sit back and say to yourself…but why/how/why/what?! After everything that is said and done Dani becomes a Hunter. Um. Okay. Makes sense? Not really, but at this point in time I didn’t even care. I kind of hoped that the Unseelie King would come back say how he made a mistake and just wipe the whole planet out of existence. It really would have made more sense than half the events that took place in this book. Do yourself a favor, wait for a year or two, maybe the fan theories will shed some clarity as to the CF that is this story. Although honestly, it takes a lot to put out a book and I commend KMM for that. I’ve read all of the Fever books (even the ones that were pure s**t) and followed Mac and Barons to the end. This book should not exist. It feels like nothing more than a publisher’s push for money out of a loyal fan base and it reads exactly what something like that would. Ugh.

I never want to give something away with a review, so I want to start out by saying that many times throughout this book I just wanted to scream! Scream with happiness, scream in anger, scream in frustration, just scream! Another thing I never do is share a quote from a book but I need to break that rule as well. A shout out to Moning on this quote from High Voltage:
“One kiss and two days later, BOOM – I was untouchable. If I were a character in a novel, I’d snipe the bitch who wrote my life this way.”
The picture that Moning paints with her stories is so real. I must remember sometimes that I have never seen BB&B or Dani or any of the Nine which makes the love, the fear, the anger and the pain, all the more real for the reader to experience. The depth of her characters is real, her worlds are another part of her soul which makes her books some of the best I’ve ever read. In High Voltage, the real Dani is front and center. We learn more about the different layers of her than we ever have before. This book touched me more than any of her other stories. I absolutely can’t wait to see what comes next in this explosive series.

This story will have you feeling ALL. THE. THINGS!!!! I have been waiting (not so patiently) for Dain’s story and I was not disappointed. This story is about life and death, healing, rising up from the shit storms that knock you down, then LIVING and LOVING through all of it. I laughed. I cried. Most importantly I learned. This is a beautifully written story with a full technicolor kaleidoscope of emotion. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

This book hangover has me bofflescated. I didn't know what to expect with this new book. Karen had warned us that there would be some major reveals and that somewhere along the way we would fall more in love with Ryo, and boy did she deliver in spades. I have started reading it, again, because of the rollercoaster this book led me on. Prepare yourselves, readers. Make sure you are armed with alcohol, tissues, and hours to devote to the ride. This was not at all what I expected. Having said that, I love these characters even more than I did before page 1 of HV. KMM delivered all of the feels. You have been warned, now go find your quiet place and dig in! Oh, and when you're done, if you FB, join the HV spoilers page. We are having too much fun in there;-) Stay to the light!

I had been a little disappointed in Iced and Burned. I know they were supposed to be Dani's books, but they just felt like side trips from the main Fever stories. AND, as others pointed out, Dani really didn't get to take center stage as much as expected. This book, by contrast, puts Dani fully front and center and (I think) does it back in the main Fever story line.

I had been wondering how KMM would resolve the Ryoden/Dani relationship. I had been wondering how she would resolve Dani - who was clearly more than just a normal, screwed-up you woman. To paraphrase one of the characters in High Voltage, "Sh*t! I didn't see that coming!" This wrapped up Dani's story in a satisfying manner, while still leaving the door open for further adventures in the Fever universe.

I tried to make myself read the book slowly, to make it last, but I still blasted through it in less than 24 hours. It was a great read.

I started reading when i was 11, I dont know how many books i have read since them but one thing i could say is that this is most incredible, fascinating love story i have read until now. If thats not enough it develops in a world full of adventures that have you reading until your eyelashes burned with characters that have you screaming! Laughing! Crying! And ?????. The main characters (Dani & Ryodan) out of this world. I want you to think in that one male character that has stolen you heart and no matter how many books you have read still has that damn heart in his hands ..... when you finish this book you going to have a hard time remember even his name because Ryodan can eclipse any one character you could compare him with and Dani just let me tell you her strength, determination, heart and brain make her the baddest badass character !!! More than that Dani is a perfect representation of the women in the fever world( which is one of the main reason i love this serie) they are not damsels who are trapped in the towel waiting to be rescued, they are women that made their own way down and out of the trouble with blood, sweat, and tears, not only saving themselves but others with them! That grow and overcome each obstacles they face from the most unrealistic and magical ones ( like killing a god) to the most real ones ( like overcoming depression, dealing with lost of a love one or finding your worth after being abused/neglected by your own family your whole life). In this book Karen had once more delighted, captured, amazed me with a her work!

Warning: this the 10th book of the fever serie
This review is not of the whole serie but just High Voltage ! Recommend to read the other books before reading this one you not only going to have all the info you need to understand the book but also you would discover a world from which you would not want to come out!

I have mixed feelings about this book. I had missed Dani and was happy to see her as the focus of the book. I was also happy to see her get her happy ending. There were parts that brought me to tears. And, there was an interesting twist/revelation about one of the characters. We got to see Dani protecting her city, but it felt a bit flat. The baddies aren't well developed, and the characters don't seem to act like themselves, especially Ryodan. There are also a number of rape/almost-rape incidents that kind of get glossed over, especially when looked back upon after new information comes to light. Finally, there is too much of an element of fate to the story.

At the beginning of the book, only about four months have passed since Dancer died. Dani is still mourning his loss, when Mac, Barrons, Ryodan, and the rest of the Nine all leave, not to be heard from again for 2 years! Dani is left to take care of the city. Since Mac has become the Faery Queen and sung the Song of Making, the Unseelie are gone, and there is an uneasy truce with the Seelie, who are still living among the humans. However, the Song seems to have changed the Sidhe-seers and the Fae and awakened things deep in the earth. Dani patrols her city by night and works with at the Abby by day trying to translate old manuscripts in the library and train the Sidhe-seers. Some baddies show up, but they don't seem to be the focus of the book. I can't say much more without spoilers.

This book is perfect and beautiful. Way different than the other nine books so keep that in mind. Where the other books were nonstop action and mystery this book is calmer and more like a gentle happy sigh after you've been running non stop. It was wonderful. I think it was a great decision by KMM to make this one different than the rest. I can also see how she is setting up the new story arc so that we have more questions to ask in the future. Super excited and I LOVED this book! Now to go off and cry because for the first time since I found this series (Jan of 2018 I'm going to have to wait a long time like everyone else to read the next book! Oh the pain of the bookworm!

4.25 stars

I am still supremely PISSED that because of all the Dani backlash after Iced we never got the story that KMM meant to tell. I won't even rehash that terrible BOOK thing that happened in Feversong with Mac.

We could have had SO. MUCH. MORE.

Anyways, enough of me being crazy. Dani is probably my favorite of the female characters that KMM has written. I mean a strong, confident woman who fears a guy that could rip her heart to shreds? Let's just condemn her as annoying why don't we? Okay, I'll stop now I promise.

This story revolves around Dani being practically left alone for a few years after the events of the last book. New threats come along and pretty soon no one can help Dani, not even Ryodan. This book gets all the stars just for those angst filled moments between him and Dani, and all of the verbal sparring moments between them as well. KMM has a very unique and creepy imagination and I can honestly say I would never want to live in her head. I do hope we get more of Dani and Ryodan in the future. I am even wildly hoping for a Lor book. Can that be a thing please????

Anyways, if you don't hate Dani (and are basically awesome) you will enjoy this book. It's like KMM threw us Dani/Ryodan lovers a bone and it's one I'll gladly accept.

Perfection. Through the years we’ve shared in Dani’s pain and the horrific abuse she suffered. Karen wraps it up in the text and Dani becomes who she should. You won’t see it coming. I would suggest reading the Fever books before this as it makes this story so much sweeter.

Karen has drawn me into the Fever world again with yet another amazing and enthralling story. High Voltage is about Dani & Ryodan this time. Warning: if you haven’t read any of the previous books in the Fever series, I suggest you read them because you will need to be caught up before reading High Voltage.

I’m not one for giving away spoilers, but SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Dani is more than she seems. And she is a wanted woman, but not by any type of human law. She’s also lethal.

Can she harness herself, defeat the newest “evils”, and protect her loved ones? You’ll only know if you read.

Okay, so I’ll start by saying that I have read (and re-read) the Highlander and Fever Series by KMM repeatedly and while I liked all of them, I had felt that Iced was my least favorite book, which is all about Dani. Then I felt FeverSong was a filler book...you know to give details that we needed but wasn’t up to the hype of the original 5...then Burned came out and I was like “ooh, this is better”....well, I was wrong...HV is definitely what the original 5 were...action, suspense, laughter and crying...KMM has made this my favorite book since ShadowFever. The entire series is a must read but this one just brought it back to the feeling of the first 5 books. I loved this book and will now be rereading all in order again.

I am in my happy place. Dani, the woman has gone through some massive trials and made some huge transitions. In the beginning it was confusing, to see a young girl suffer so and be seen as more in the future. I admit I did not like young Dani, she was a thorn to me in the story. Oh there was some serious backlash towards Ms. Moning, speculations based on her age, before the tale was finished being told. If only they'd waited they would have seen this beautiful, wonderfully magical woman finally grab ahold of her red threads and become what she was ment to be. The truth of why this obsession was there made me jump and scream "YEH!" I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, you don't need to know more.
Another great book from Ms. Moning. She continues to be one of my top 5 authors, one I re-read from often. I can not wait for her next work.. Bravo Ms. Moning, you rock !

I love KMM’s books and this one was no exception. Without making this a spoiler, there was so much more depth to this book that was different than the others. We got to know favorite characters below the surface and really seeninto their hearts which is no easy feat for a writer. KMM listens to her readers and you can tell as you are reading because there as small nods to things that readers have commented on. To know that a favorite writer has listens to her fans that closely to reflect the thoughts in her writing. Every book in the series becomes my favorite but I think that High Voltage just took the place as my all time favorite.

This may seem like a negative review, but there was some parts that I really loved about the book. It checked all the right boxes and left me with some closure for Dani, but it wasn't a home run for me. I put it down satisfied, but with some serious questions.

Mild spoilers, so beware. Ever since Iced, I've been waiting for (seriously, years of my life have gone by anticipating) a happily ever after for Dani. She was probably one my favorite book characters ever. There was a magic, depth and nuance to Iced Dani that I'd never seen anywhere before. The things she said and did, had me laughing/crying/cheering for her at every turn. She said everything I wanted to say as a teenager and I was DYING to see how she'd be as a grown woman. And then something happened. It was never captured again. It was a moment. A beautiful moment, and it was gone. I wasn't a huge KMM media follower in those days, but it sounds like something scarred her. Whether it was backlash over Iced, or more personal issues, she has PTSD where Dani is concerned. Or maybe she never intended on giving Dani as much to do as she did Mac. Going into the Silvers for 5 years and coming back as Jada, then admitting she was never Jada, then being just a mopey Jada, it was too much. She sort of came together in High Voltage, but by then she had lost the magic. The seams showed where KMM changed her mind and tried to rewrite things she had already put to print. She wanted Dani to go through the meat grinder to show how strong she was, but we never saw it happening. Only heard about it second hand. Which doesn't carry the same weight. We saw/felt/experienced every one of Mac's trials. Every. Single. One. Why not Dani too?

I was cheering so hard for Dani and Ryodan, but the fact that they had the most chemistry when Dani was 13 says all there is to say. After how many books of them frustrating each other and being the worst at communicating, it all came together a little to easily. At one point, Dani said that she spent the years Ryo was away thinking of all the things she wanted to tell him/ask him/argue with him about. And I was like, yes. Please. Get him talking! You guys have some serious tension to hash out. And then they just kiss and admit how much they love each other through mind melding. It was like KMM hit the Easy Button.

And the whole reason behind Ryodan being away for 2 years was a WTF moment. Why didn't he just tell her he couldn't handle seeing her with other guys? I don't know, maybe make it her choice whether she wanted to keep sleeping around. Because it sounded like she didn't. It was very strange.

One last gripe...Shazam is a hunter, right? Has been since they met. Meaning he could've gotten her out of the Silvers at any time. Dani was in pain, hurting, desperate to get home. And Shazam didn't help her. And then she was desperate to get back to rescue him, nearly killed herself to get to him. And he could've gotten out at any time. If I were her I'd be pissed. That's all I'm saying.

This book had everything I hoped for and more than I could have ever hoped for. Dani is left alone by her friends but she knows they are out there being their own superheroes. Little does she know that most have been with her for years. It isn’t until an old Irish god shows up and tricks her into making a wish that her life gets turned upside down. This book had all the elements that I would want in a novel and no cliffhanger that is so common in the Fever series. This one wraps up the story arc for Dani but it also leaves a lot of unanswered questions that I would like to see acknowledged in another book. Karen Marie Moning has said that this isn’t the last of the Fever series like we thought. So we may just get those answers.

WOW!! Just WOW!!

Where do I begin with this book? I’ve read the Fever series in its entirety several times. I will honestly say I’ve never been able to connect with Dani on any kind of emotional level. Not sure if it’s because of my age vs hers in the series or just felt more of a connection with Mac. That all changed with HIGH VOLTAGE! In the immortal words of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air…my life got flipped turned upside down!!!! In all my readings of the Fever series never has a trigger been set off and there’s plenty of material to do just that. HiVo on the other hand set off 2 for me. Loneliness and a sense of never belonging. The loneliness I felt from Dani had me in tears. I had to stop reading about half way through because my heart was so heavy for her, and I guess myself as I could completely identify with this feeling. I found that as much as Dani wants to be strong and independent to take on the world and protect Dublin, she is truly vulnerable due to her loneliness. Ryodan was always Dani’s ground zero. She knew it, but couldn’t get past her hurt and pride to allow him to completely become her world. He’d left her for 2 years. Boxes, walls, selective memory…whatever you want to call it destroy from the inside. Once Dani was able to break through all barriers and be honest with herself was she able to love Ryodan freely in full force Mega fashion. She was no longer alone and belonged. She had a family. Ones who accept her for who and what she is unconditionally. That’s all we can ask for in life! HIGH VOLTAGE is now my favorite in the series. Thank you Karen for this wonderful gift. FLY…RISE…BELONG!!!

>Book Review – High Voltage
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 10th in the Fever series and ends in an HEA for Dani and Ryodan. Dani is alone in a lot of this story. Mac, Barrons, BB&B, even Ryodan is gone. She is still grieving the loss of Dancer. Dani pulls herself together and embraces everything that happens to her, no matter how painful. She begins to turn black and exhibit extraordinary powers. This story has a new twist. Everything is now super charged due to the Song being sung. Old Earth gods have been awakened and a new war between the old gods and the fae is in the works.
>The best part about this book is not the future plot, but the past revelations. Ryodan and Dani finally have a heart to heart. Ryodan reveals a surprising fact about when he found out about Dani. He displays the ultimate love for her as he reveals he continually tried to make and keep her happy, especially in regards to Dancer.
> This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving the book 5 stars. This book really ties up the on/off again relationship between Dani and Ryodan and is extremely satisfying.

Yet another perfectly satisfying Fever novel from Karen. We’ve been waiting and waiting to see Dani grow up, and we’ve finally got her! Her backstory is so heartbreaking, but plays so much into who she is today. Please, if you’re a fever fan, don’t skip this one! You’ll hate yourself!

If It was possible to give this book 3.5 stars I would have. Don't get me wrong it was a good book and it wraps up Dani's story into a nice neat little package, but I think that is where I have the issue. There was so much lead up and then you end with an abrupt little bow; if that makes any sense. I found myself flipping the page and saying that that couldn't be the end, where is the rest of the book? It was almost as if KMM wrote this one with a rushed deadline and had to get to the end as quick as possible once you hit the midpoint of the book. I liked how it ended just not how it got there, I still feel that so much was missing by the time I came to the epilogue. She did leave room for a separate storyline or two but I really wish there had been more put into this particular novel. After so many years invested into the highlander/fever/Dani series I think Dani and Ryodan got rushed into a conclusion. Overall, good book and a must read for anyone invested in the fever series, but it isn't without it letdowns.

Firstly, I can’t imagine how it must feel to put your heart and soul into your work and have a random stranger tear it apart. That being said, i am concerned about reports of KMM attacking fans for negative reviews.

I am an avid fan of KMM since I first picked up the fever books. I have lost myself in this world many times and read and re-read, loving them still.

High Voltage, did not do anything for me. It did not grab or hold my attention, stimulate many emotions and felt rushed. I loved the development of Danni and Ryodan in Iced and Burned. I understand that I went into this with extremely high expectations so it may take some more readings to adjust. However, I feel that this book was just a rush to complete the Dani/Ryodan story and a filler and teaser for more books. Too many new things introduced and left hanging. The book also felt really short to me, like a novella rather than a continuation of the fever series.

All that being said, I still love KMM and will be very interested to see what is coming next.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! I laughed, cried, cheered and left the Fever World with a happy heart!

Ryo blots out the sun! He speaks the truth and right to your soul. Dani is larger than life and Ryo is man enough to stand beside her.

Bravo KMM!!! Thank you for once again taking us into the Fever World.

Can’t wait for the next book!

I’ve been a KMM fan for over ten years now and I love love her books. The Fever series started with Mac and we’ve now been brought to a beautiful conclusion for Dani. I cried, I laughed, I smiled big, and oh yes lusted lol. Glad that there’s still room to continue exploring this world, but also glad for a settled ending with no cliffhanger.

This book tied up Dani and Ryodan's story while leaving plenty of unanswered questions for further books focusing on other characters. The depth of love between the characters is palpable throughout the story. While deep down, Mac and Barrons will always be my KMM couple of choice, Dani and Ryodan have embedded themselves in my literary heart. The Fever series is a must read.

Oh how I love The Fever Series. It's been awesome seeing all the changes in Dani over the course of 10 books. She has evolved in so many ways, and is written so well by Karen Moning. She writes some the the best female characters I have ever read. It was refreshing seeing Dani without Mac and Barrons. Ryodan has been a fiction crush of mine since he was introduced, and I love how throughout the series, you learn and see more and more of him. You get to delve deeper into the person he is. I was so excited for this book, and it did not disappoint!

Absolutely brilliant!

There is so much in this book, but it was the perfect continuation of this story that Karen M Moning has continued to tell. I love Mac and Barrons and will always. And to be honest, I wasn't sure that Dani and Ryo would be able to grab a hold of me like they always have...but they so did. I adore this book (as the entire Fever Series) and the last couple of paragraphs had me weeping and smiling that silly smile that gets stuck to your face when you can't help but be super happy. I feel everything when I read, and this book so delivered that for me.

I loved being back in this world. This story was mainly Dani's story, and normally she's not my favourite character, but I really really enjoyed this one. It was nice to finally wrap up the saga of Ryodan and Dani, and though I may not have liked everything that happened with them, I fully enjoyed the reading of this book from cover to cover.

“Love doesn’t build cages. It builds stairways to the stars.”

Holy smokes! Karen Moning has done it again. She’s weaved a tale that you can’t help but be enchanted by.

Ah! This story. The beginning starts out a little slow, but when it takes off, it takes off! I was glad to see Dani’s growth and see her finally be able to come to terms with all of her feelings. This girl has been through Hell and back so many times. I couldn’t wait to see her kick ass. I loved her evolution! I did miss some of the defining attributes of Ryodan and Dani’s dynamic, their snarkiness and banter and humor, but I loved the new dynamic of them finding how they fit together. There were so many plot twists that were just great. Karen Moning is one hell of a writer and storyteller and she sure knows how to weave a story. By the end of this story I was smiling and my heart was full as Dani’s light shone bright.

I loved the emotional chapters. Karen has a way of writing that makes you feel what the characters are going through. The scene of Dani and her mother totally got to me. The letter, the friends battling to have her back, I loved these scenes and what they meant to Dani. And the love of Enyo and Kat made my heart burst!

“You always save everyone else. Let us save what we can of you this time.”

I love how Dani embraces what’s happening to her. Dani’s story captures your heart. She is so full of life and love and in all the books leading up to this, you want so much for her. You want her to get that great big adventure and be The Mega. You want to see her finally have the overwhelming amount of love that she gives to everyone and her city. And Ryodan is it for her. He is exactly what she needs. Their bond is beautiful. The build up to their relationship has you on edge just waiting and anticipating. Ryodan has always wanted love and a family again. I am so happy for his and Dani’s outcome. Their adventures to come are immense and majestic now.

Dani was always meant for something grand. And grand she definitely got.

And Karen still has so much set up for the future. I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us.

“Cages were funny things. Although I’d escaped with my body long ago, only recently had my heart finally broken free. Healed by the love of a man who’d been willing to sacrifice everything, even given me up if he had to, just to see me rise.”

Each and every one of KMM's books has that way of drawing me in and totally consuming me, and this one was no exception. I thought the story wrapped up rather nicely in Feversong, but of course there is always room for more adventures. I have been thinking about Dani's evolution a lot, and it makes me even more impressed with the writing the more I think about it.
Iced was my favorite book in this universe because we got to get inside Dani's head, and it was a RIDE. I will confess that I was somewhat bummed out with the Jada transition, and I found her to be a lot less likeable than Dani. In this book, we get a very unique blend of the two. The old fun-loving Dani is really just gone, but she isn't as icy as Jada. We get a better, deeper glimpse into her past. The first 1/3 of the book or more is very slow and sad (I was starting to get a little disappointed actually). She is doing her thing along in Dublin in the absence of almost everyone she loves. When the other "return," things pick up rather quickly, and the book becomes mind-blowingly awesome. Things with Ryodan FINALLY get hotter. Without any spoilers, this book definitely went in a direction that I didn't expect but should have seen coming.
I love the timeless feeling of all these characters, and I would read 100 more books in this universe! <3

The slow burn of it all! KMM's ability to build a world and it's characters from the ground up is as satisfying as it is beautiful. High Voltage is the highly anticipated conclusion of Dani O'Malley's storyline. HV continues to spotlight the idea that flawed, strong, vulnerable, characters can lead the charge into a new future; one that is colored in shades of grey. Heroes, antiheroes, villains, and the innocent are only seperated by ones perspective. GET SOME.
While HV could be considered the conclusion of the Fever Series, I highly recommend beginning from book 1, Dark Fever. These books are meant to be building blocks to each other, in plot and and especially in character development. Allow the characters their evolution! So many surprises and turns; KMM is an author you can trust to carry you through the dark!

RATING: 5 'Red Thread' Hearts!! <3

High Voltage is a prime example of Ms. Moning’s stunning ability to ensure we’re invested in the lives of the characters as thoroughly as we are our own. As much as I adore Mac and Barrons, Dani and Ryodan swept me off my feet in Iced, and in this story it was no different. Their banter, scorching chemistry and raw connection built on understanding and familiarity not only of each other but also their views about life and love completely made me fall in love with them a little more page after page. The two of them together are everything and more fans of these two have been craving. Their story made me laugh and cry, and then left me stunned over just how breathtakingly beautiful their love for each other is. I will always love Dani and Ryodan, and I am hoping we get more of them in future installments!

Fave Quotes:

He was gasoline to my fire, matches to my dynamite.

“Shazam O’Malley, I do hereby solemnly swear I am going to love you for all of forever.”
“Then nine million more days?” he demanded.

[L]ove is the willingness to put the happiness and evolution of the person you love before your own. Even if it means giving them up.

“Because duration of grief seems as if it should be equivalent to the depth of love you felt for the person you lost.”

You, Dani O’Malley, have always been the greatest mystery of my existence, the one thing I’ve never been able to predict.

Love doesn’t build cages. It builds stairways to the stars.

This book felt like one long justification for the 14 yr old dani/ryo storyline, right down to the Labrynth quotes. The plot and word building took a strange juke, the narrative was rushed and disjointed in many places and yet drawn out and excessive in others, telling me how to feel instead of making me feel. The resolution was forced, the action fell flat, the villians were irrelevant and never really threatening, and the ending was rushed and oddly contradictory. Without spoilers, i can only say the worst disappointment for me was Shazam...ruined for me at the very end, and that relationship had been beautiful and brought me to tears in the past..even early in this book. It also made no sense and contradicted itself. I have read every one of KMMs books and loved them all... this one was the first to fall flat, and the first one I've speed read through in huge hunks due to boredom or exasperation. This book had its moments but sadly was a huge disappointment. Still love the author, this just didn't do it for me, sorry KMM

I read that Karen was trying something new with this book and that she had never written a book the way she did with Dani’s character as far as the love aspect of this story, so I wanted to give her the benefit of a doubt!
Now, for the review...
I thought this newest installment to the fever series left me both happy and confused ?‍♀️! I use to looovve Mac and Barron’s! I thought they had the most enigmatic relationship and I was sooo on board with that dynamic duo... I mean Mac was this pink preppy blonde girl thrown into this world with dark sophisticated and dangerous characters. She was a great character and the banter between her and Barron’s would always leave me thirsty for more!
Then this young kid named Dani was introduced and Iced arrived. I was totally hesistent to read the Dani spin off series, but when I finally decided to read it... holy moly was I a fan!!!
I loved reading about Dani and her fearless approach to life and the crazy love/hate desires she had with the ultra sexy Ryodan! Yes, I was a bit skeptical and kinda at odds with the age gap between Ryodan and Dani, but Karen was sooo smart with her approach to fixing that problem in Burned. I really could see the Dani/Jade approach as a believable aspect to her overall character and was pretty excited with the way things were panning out.
But, with High Voltage, I felt that the character of Dani turned into a new kind of character that was a mix of Dani and Mac 2.0. I couldn’t see the Dani or Jada I’d grown accustomed to. Also, Ryodan was NOTHING like I’d remembered him to be. He’d turned into this total compassionate, sensitive, lovey dovey character that was nothing like the rough, sarcastic, tough-love Ryodan I’d remembered from previous books. Even though the ending had me feeling all nostalgic, I felt there maybe could have been a bit more to their story! ?
Overall, I will say that I’m still and always will be a Karen Marie Moning fan! Even with this not so great review, I still was left with that same “I can’t fully function with reality,yet” feeling after reading this latest book. Karen is an amazing writer!
Hopefully, whatever Karen writes next will leave this book as nothing more than an afterthought, as she will always find a way to ignite that flame that makes readers always hungry for more!

Probably this series is not finished, with the war between fae and humans to come, but the thing is that I waited for Dani and Ryordan almost 10 years, and I was so disappointed that for me it is the end. Maybe in a couple of years I will change my mind because I will have forgotten how miserable I feel now and I will keep on reading, or maybe not.

Probabilmente questa non é la fine della serie, con la guerra in arrivo tra gli umani e le fate, ma il problema é he io ho atteso per quasi dieci anni la storia tra Ryordan e Dani e ci sono rimasta cosí male che per me questa é la fine. Magari tra un paio d'anni se e quando avró dimenticato la delusione che mi ha provocato questo libro, continueró a leggerla, o magari no.

KMM is just amazing. HV proves this. Her writing is energetic and her storytelling supreme.

I confused this book with Darynda Jones' last of a series, *sob, not looking forward to that!* and had a full-fledged panic. Yes, I googled for confirmation, *exhales anew*, but there were just too many unfinished storylines. KMM would never!

Dani embraces so much. Her rough edges, exponentially rougher, meld with her heart's desire and it was everything. She denied nothing and accepted her place in the chaos of her beloved Ireland.

I was always a fan of Ryodan. It was beyond gratifying to see him so vulnerable and honest with Dani. KMM had to walk a careful line with their intimacy, their acknowledgement of feelings, because of age and experience, but she triumphed. Was it just me or were the steamier scenes a bit muted so as not to rile the faction of non-believers?

High Voltage was illuminating, thought-provoking, and fierce. I'm thirsty for Kat and Sean's story (to Rae's strange marks), Mac's reunification process, a culmination of epic proportions for an ensemble of extraordinary characters. Loved it.

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.

High Voltage is the latest in Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. It is, in Dani’s words, Dublin ATS – after the Song; much of the earth has healed, and the ancient magic within has reawakened. The Fae are relatively quiet, but things are changing. There are ancient earth gods stirring. Dani, as always, is taking care of her Dublin. But, Mac is gone, the Nine are gone; Dani is left to care for everything and everyone by herself. And, Dani, too, is changing.

High Voltage is a Dani book. I have not been much of a Dani fan – or a fan of Moning’s Dani books – but, Dani grown up is a lot like Mac. So, I enjoyed High Voltage much more than I expected. It was a very pleasant surprise. Like many of Moning’s Fever books, this one is packed full of information and action. We learn a lot. Many questions are answered (though not all of them). And, all this is accomplished in one of Moning’s most creative – and imaginative – books yet.

Despite being over 400 pages, the end of High Voltage came too soon for me. But at the end – and before Moning’s wonderful, extensive Glossary – she includes several deleted scenes, a wonderful addition that helps ease the transition back from the Fever world.

If you’ve never read Urban Fantasy, and you’re thinking maybe you want to give it a try, I strongly suggest The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. This is one of my top two overall favorite series ever.

Karen Marie Moning is one of the authors that I automatically buy when I see she has a new release (for the Fever series anyways.) So I read this book a while ago when it came out, but just have a chance to review it now.

I thought High Voltage was fantastic. The first five Fever books were the best IMO, the next few were still really good, but then High Voltage was really great. Actually, I’d be okay if the series ended here, honestly.

A few minor things I noticed; repeat actions/thoughts/words of other characters in prior books. Just a few, but enough that I noticed. Was it on purpose? Maybe! But it just automatically reminded me of past scenes and took me out of the story. And I don’t want to go into more detail on chance I might ruin the story for someone who hasn’t read it yet.

But yes, this was a five-star read; I really enjoyed it.

Meh- I'm a huge Fever Series fan and couldn't wait for this book to come out, totally expecting to love it, but I didn't. I kept waiting for it to pickup at some point too, but it didn't. Way too much esoteric, quantum-spacey ramblings for me, all the pointless pontification on the universe was just plain dull. It was like bread crumbs in meatloaf, just a meal stretcher. I liked Ryodan actually a lot better BEFORE this book, how did he turn into such a puss? I felt it was disjointed, weak on plot, contrived and rambling. And the tossed in plot about what Barron's and Mac were doing, just plain weird, out of character and strange. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next one, I hope she hasn't just run this well dry..

This book is everything I've been waiting for and much more! It was impeccably written with such devotion and love for Dani and Ryodan. Their relationship is finally allowed to evolve into what it was always meant to be, and Dani becomes so Mega-Awesome in High Voltage, I couldn't be more happy! I loved that KMM finally gives us the intense action and heart-pounding romance that I've always wished for in the Fever books. Could there have been more heat? Yes, definitely! Was Ryodan a little tamer than I'd like? Sure. But overall, this was a fantastic book that I felt did Dani and Ryodan immense justice. It was sorrowful at times and had me streaming down tears, but unbelievably sweet and tender too. My favorite chapter is 31, when it all comes to a head and emotions pour out of the characters like rain. It was beautifully written. Honestly, I had been struggling with this series and was very disappointed in Feversong, but High Voltage brought me back in. I'm excited to see what's next for everyone! I hope there is more of Dani and Ryodan, their journey together is just beginning and I'd love to read more of their adventures outside of Dublin. Highly recommend!

Well done. I've been struggling a little bit since Iced, but this one knocked it out of the park. Passionate, focused and interesting plot that left you wanting more but didn't leave you hanging. Perfect. Loved Dani and Ryo. Really evolved characters. Super suprising twist in their lives.

WOW I thoroughly enjoyed this!!!! As a major fan of KMM'S Fever series (and her previous Highlanders series), I was really excited to read High Voltage as the most recent release in her amazing Fever series & I was most anxious to see how Dani & Ryodan's story played out in this book & while I won't give any spoilers away, what happened with Dani was totally unexpected, but brilliant!!! As with all of KMM's books, I couldn't put this one down as I was once again totally captivated by & completely immersed in her fascinating world. In this book, I really felt we got to know Dani so much better & understand why she is the way she is....I love how truly MEGA she has become and how she & Ryodan handle the whole situation. I am so excited to find out what more happens with Kat, Sean & Rae, Christian and of course Mac & Barrons so I can't wait for KMM's next book....her stories really draw me in & I will continue to read all future books she writes....I am hoping we get many more in this Fever series as from where this book left off, you know there is so much more that is going to happen & I couldn't be happier about that since this series is totally EPIC!!!

So, this tied up some necessary threads for me and it seems there are several people who think this wasn't badass Dani and didn't like. While I can see their point, I personally think Dani had to grow and change and sort of combine her personalities back together which would make her not soft, but able to finally allow love into her life. Ryodan pushed her as far as possible while basically torturing himself to make the final breakthrough for her to accept love and believe she deserves it. Fiction can be very cathartic for people who have suffered trauma in their lives and help them heal. It was helpful to me although my situation wasn't near as bad as Dani's life. I think this was a great way to finally finally finally bring these two characters together. I know this series is supposed to be ending (at least the Mac/Barrons thread) although they all overlap because the Nine are connected and it looks like Moning left it open for a war to end all wars in the future which I believe we would see Dani in all her badassery again if we are lucky enough to have another book.

I thoroughly enjoyed High Voltage. I went in expecting to hate it, as it wasn't about Jericho and Mac. I was wrong. We get so much more of Dani's backstory and we get to see the Dani, Ryodan love store come to fruition. There were many twists that I hadn't seen coming. While this can be read as a stand-alone, I feel you get so much more if you have read the entire series. I am looking forward to seeing whats coming in the Fever world.

I gotta say the first half of the book I was a little upset and underwhelmed as it didn't grab me and take me on the roller coaster of the other books. But, then it started to take off as a new story line unfolded that fit into the fae realm, and yet became something great for the future. And epic battle, not in this book, but one to come. Dani was never a favorite character of mine, though I did love Iced which changed that view too. So, when this book was about her I wasn't sure whether it'd be great and could stand on it's own, or would be lost, and in the first half it was just that. I'm not going to give any spoilers away since that would ruin the book completely if you haven't read it yet. This is an important installment in the series that will lead us into the next part of the story and is by no means near as good as the other books, but that does not take into account our great writer here, and while it may not be her best, it's a great book by any other writer's standards and I loved it when it got going and look forward more more to come with all our favorite characters from our favorite series.

Amazing!! Wow, Karen Marie moning is one of the best authors, her characters have true depth, they jump out of the pages and smack you in the face with their thoughts, feelings and flaws. The world she has created is complex, vivid and addictive and this book is truly amazing.

To wrap up this series, the author digs deep into her world-building to write an ending for Dani. It's not a satisfying resolution. Mac gets to live out her existence as Queen of the Fae and Dani gets. . . this. Marked by the cruel women who raised her, Dani keeps the abuse of her past in the rearview mirror. She accepts the questions in her life that do not have answers: who and what was her father, why can she use the slipstream, can she have children? She leads an exemplary, heroic life finding homes for orphans, battling ancient forces to protect Dublin, and bringing democracy to her sidh-seer clan at the abby. Does she deserve. . .this? She seems delighted with her destiny -- overjoyed -- so I'm not sure why I feel manipulated. It feels pulled out of a hat, or derivative. Did the author watch the Pirates movies? Dani's black hand echoes the black Kracken spot on Jack Sparrrow's palm. Like Will Turner, Dani finds joy, but at what price?

I love this series and this is the best book in a while. This is from Dani's point of view and I love that we get to hear a lot more about her than we knew previously. I could never figure out Shazam, but after this book it totally makes sense. There is a good story line about her and Ryodan, and her feelings are finally revealed about a lot of things in this book. It only mentions Mac and Barrons, but they are really not in this book. This is focused on Dani and those around her. This book has stirred my spirit back up and now I want more books about this world !
I have 1 pet peeve and it's a big one! She over uses the phrase hands fisted, fisted hands etc.. If one more person fists their hands, I'm gonna cut their fingers off! I swear I lost count after 50 times of it being said in this novel. That was my only real pet peeve about the book. Other than that, it was awesome!

I highly recommend High Voltage!! I just cannot put into words my thoughts on this book. Karen has a way of writing that truly engages the reader leaves you wanting more and I will be anxiously awaiting whatever she has in store for this series in the future!!!

Since Iced I’ve waited to read/learn what happened to Dani/MEGA
There was something so special about her that I immediately was drawn to her, I just felt she had a big back story. Well DAMN!!! Karen did not disappoint, Dani’s life was laid open in the most raw and truest form. Her story is beautiful and painful, funny and disturbing. I wanted to reach into this book and hug her give her a high five many times! So many of my questions were answered perfectly, then so many more arose! As a writer I feel Karen always knows how to captivate her readers, She’s so good at making is ride the emotional roller coaster. I cried, I laughed, I got angry, I got sad and I got excited. What more can I ask for!! Karen if you read this THANK YOU
I am a forever fan!

This wasn’t my favorite in the Fever world. I’ve loved this story from day one, from 14 years ago. This book felt as if it were created to move characters past—spoilers if you aren’t caught up to this book—Dancer’s death. If I think about this book all by itself, as a study of grief, all the emotions and stages of grief, it moves me. If you have experienced loss, and who hasn’t, it can take you to that place where you choke on a sob. I feel, whatever the onus to create this novel, the author was working through something deep and needed. It wasn’t what I’d hoped for in the next installment of the Fever series, but I’ve just finished it and I feel sad—due to the story and the power of the words. I’ll be thinking about it for awhile. I can’t even figure out how to rate it—my first instinct in relation to how much I loved the plot and characters in the past novels, it’s a 3. As a study of powerful human emotion, it’s a 5, I look forward to the next.

If you are a KMM fan you will love this book. I know I did! I laughed, I cried, and I was in awe. I could not wait to see where Dani’s journey took us. I am completely satisfied with the ending and I happily await the next book! I do agree there are several “holes” in the plot. But I feel that leaves many windows open for more books....and that makes me ecstatic!

I absolutely loved this book!!! Dani is awesome and I can’t wait for the next book. What a great story. This is one of my absolute favorite series!!! No cliff hanger this time ? Buy this book it’s great!!!

5 Stars... The Song of Making saved their world but left consequences no one could imagine; including inciting a potential war between the gods, fae, and humans... In steps Dani O'Malley with her incessant need to protect, unwavering loyalty, and infectious zest for life pulling her into the epicenter of the pending catastrophe... Her destiny has been set forth and placed in motion, but will she be brave enough for this once in a lifetime epic adventure... Dani's and Ryodan's story comes full circle in an exquisitely complicated dance that is simplistic in it's beauty and grace; truly a love story centuries in the making... I felt connected to this story from the very beginning and felt captivated by this complex world where nothing is as it seems... Another enthralling addition to this unique series:)

Well I made it through the series and now am to the waiting! This is one reason I try not to read unfinished series because I drive myself crazy waiting for the next one and I lose so much of the story waiting !!! Hopefully it won’t be too long !!!

In this story, we learn so much about Dani and her past, her present, and her future, and we also get a much needed inside view into Ryodan. Mac and Barron’s are gone and Ryodan leaves and Dani is feeling very alone, although she tries to stuff all those feelings into the many boxes in her head. She still fights for the underdogs and continues saving innocent lives - fighting the good fight- but she definitely misses her new family!

Can’t wait to read what happens next!!! The suspense is already driving me out of my mind !!

There has been so much tension and questions surrounding the charachters Dani and Ryodan which all comes to a head in this book. I have always enjoyed Mac and Barrons, but without a doubt Ryodan and Dani are my favorite characters. The question surrounding Ryodan's fixation with Dani is finally answered. If you have enjoyed the Fever series, this will be your favorite so far. If he's haven't read a Fever novel, start with the first in the series and read them all as fast as you can so that you can enjoy this book to the fullest. Although I'm sure this would be a good stand alone book, do yourself a favor and read the series so that you can fully enjoy all of the story lines for these dynamic characters.

5/5 More-super-than-Batman stars

Holy Transformation, Dani! How much more Mega can you get?

No, spoilers, but let's just say Dani goes to eleven. When I first saw the cover of this book I thought, "That doesn't look anything like Dani! Dani's an Irish redhead. This chick looks like Fairuza Balk from <em>The Craft.</em>"

I was, of course, freaking out prematurely. Everything was how it was supposed to be. I couldn't even get irritated at Ryodan/Dani's stupid waste of time. It all came together in the right way at the right time.

I can't imagine a better equal to Ryodan Killian St. James than Dani "the Mega" O'Malley.
I wish you much happiness in your little eternity.

As usual, KM has written a glorious addition to the Fever series. The style and pace may be slightly different than past books, but that’s because the characters are, and KMM writes what needs to be written to be true to the characters at the time. Brilliant. The only negative thing about it is that it ended - and now the wait for the next book begins!

This book is a part of the fever series it’s best to read/listen to the books in order
Danny story is amazing this book has so much love in it and it was what my hardened heart needed it chipped away the harness and I cried an ugly cry but a happy cry I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next!

So I’ve been waiting to get Dani’s story wrapped up for a long time. I’ve needed to know that she was going to be okay after everything she’s been through. And most importantly I needed to know if Ryodan would finally get his chance with her. This book had me all over the place. One minute I loved it, the next minute I had no idea what the heck I was reading or how I was supposed to feel.

Ultimately, this book gave me what I wanted as far as resolution goes. I got at least some of the Ryodan/Dani action I had been dying for, although I would have loved a hell of a lot more. This book is good. I enjoyed where things are going, I look forward to seeing who the next book is about.

This book was a very fast read! I enjoyed it tremendously. While there were a few areas I was 'eh' about, for the most part I really liked it.

A lot of it was just Dani revisiting her past, and giving us more insight about what made her who she is. I found if very interesting and well writtn.

That being said I would NOT recommend unless you're a fan of the series. Certainly NOT as a first book in the series. Its my opinion that you MUST read the entire series in order to appreciate High Voltage.

I wasn't thrilled with certain aspects of the outcome but overall a happy ending so it's acceptable.

Oh I’m so excited we can still live in the series!!! Karen is my favorite author above anyone else! She knows how to suck you in and keep you coming back for more! The first 50pg of this book I was already in my feels. I truly recommend any of these books and if you haven’t read any of them yes start in the beginning even though you can start with this one and not be totally lost.

High Voltage is an epic culmination of long awaited answers and new beginnings!!! Karen Marie Moning has done it again by setting us up to fall, but instead.... teaching us to fly! Her gripping use of language and emotion paints an all too vivid picture that will leave you reeling long after you've finished it!

I can’t tell you how much I loved this book. This book is not predictable and takes you on an amazing ride. I still can’t believe the ending. I have been reading Karen’s books for about 20 years and they just keep getting better and better. Best series ever!

I have read all I've KMM's novels. This one is actually my new favorite. I loved Dani's character from the moment I met her, so beautiful and full of life, she needed her own story and I'm so happy she got it. Out of all the Fever novels I do feel this one has the least amount of battle scenes but I actually appreciated it more. We get to know Dani more deeply and she gives out her real and true raw emotions which is so rare for her. I'm overall happy with how her story has evolved and feel if this is her last story (which I'm sure it is) then it couldn't have been written any better. I do eagerly await more from other characters though because there are loose ends that still need tied up and I'm one of those people who like stories tied up with pretty pink bows ?

Dani is back! With her new sidekick Shazzam being his usual starving complaining self. Ryodan tells Dani he and the rest need to leave. Left to protect Dublin, and help get people back on their feet. On the surface, things seem fine, but with the Unseelie gone, and the Seelie busy with Mac it doesn't take long for the vacuum to be filled. Adults start disappearing, Dani keeps finding orphaned children saying it was fae took them and needs to investigate what is really happening. Rainey who has set up a shelter for them, find new homes for them.

Dani finds Ryodan at Chesters and along with the usual banter the heat is real.

Can Ryodan finally get the girl and an HEA?
Dani's black hand is deadly but what else is happening?

Dani has been one of my favorite characters of this series for a few books now. Has been fun to see her grow and change into the something mega.
This seems to be the last chapter in that saga, to complete Dani and Ryodan's story. Long awaited, it was somewhat distressing at times, as things looked to be too much of change for my taste. All and all the story worked.
As for the narration, I think Phil Gigante was a better fit from the earlier books. Jim Frangione fits for the Black Dagger Brotherhood.

Karen delivered with High Voltage! This book is packed with Dani insight and a perfect story arc to complement this character that we have known for so long, yet often felt detached from. This book is ALL THE FEELS. And I finished feeling closure and a new found love and admiration for our Mega girl!

KMM is by far my favorite author. All of her book weave a wonderful storyline with such a vivid fantasy universe. I feel like I have known her characters as my own friends for years now and feel such a great emotional attachment to every boom she publishes. I highly recommend any of her novels!

SPOILERS.......

SPOILERS.......

The only thing is, why did it get so rushed at the end??? She could have expanded SO much more on the transition or with "Y" and it was crammed into a chapter then speed up to 4 months later. I never want to get to the end of a good book and that rushed it ?

What I loved about the book was the twist on Dani. Didn't see it coming. But it kept me reading. What I didn't like was the pace of Ryodan & Dani's relationship.
All in all, it is a book with Karen's beautiful way with words.
She has us all thinking of the fae world. For an author with the ability to bring her readers into words that are written by them,is one who is a truly talented writer.

I've never been a huge fan of Dani/Jada...However, this book did change my opinion. To suffer so much as a child and become the woman, she finally becomes is amazing. Lot's of unanswered questions, which hopefully means several more books in this series!

This book is exactly why I love this series. It was engaging, funny, heartbreaking. An epic love story. There was one book in this series where I thought the sizzle was gone for me. I just didn't connect with the book, but oh boy...the connection is back. I loved this book and I hope because of some of the things that were said towards the end that there is another book in the making?!?

It had a different feel from other Fever books, which KMM was always up front about. I enjoyed it very much. KMM has this ability to make you feel what her characters are feeling, and it sucks you into her world. Very few authors are capable of doing that to me, and I will always anticipate any new KMM books.

TLDR- go buy the book and read it. If you have enjoyed her previous books you will enjoy this one too!

I didn’t like Iced and basically it’s because neither Dani’s character or Ryodan’s character held my interest. I’m giving High Voltage a chance; it’s okay, but Fever series will always be about Mac and Barrons. Moning made these two such dynamic characters that readers couldn’t help but connect with them. I loved their storyline and loved their connecting with each other. It’s hard to let them go of two loved characters.

I love all of Karen's books. I just started reading High Voltage about two day ago and I am already almost done.
I can not put this book down!
Love it and can not wait for the next adventure!
Lynn

I found this book difficult to follow. At the end of the book there is a glossary where all the characters in the Fever series are identified. Wish I had realized it was there so I could tell the good guys from the bad ones as I was reading the story. All in all though it was a good scary story.

It's difficult to write this review and not give anything away, but I'll try.
Dani has had such a hard life, and this book is a journey for her that isn't any easier. She's left alone, and this time it's as an adult. She's faced with choices and consequences she must make.

A final note on the Fever series, and it opens many doors as to what is to come next. Karen Marie Moning will melt your heart with many bursts of lightning! You will literally feel the voltage rising high within you! The love story for a girl who deserves one - Dani. I don’t think i can ever look at love the same way again. The only negative thing Karen is doing with her work is destorying my view on Love! I don’t think any man will ever meet my expectations now! ?

I have lost all respect for this author. She finished the only story EVERYONE wanted - Mac & Barrons - churned out a YA heroine in an R rated book that sucked, went running back to Mac & Barrons to stretch their appeal a little longer. She did them a grave disservice. They were perfect, they were done & should have been left alone to live their lives.

KMM changed all her "plans" simply because no one liked Dani as the main character. The original Fever books were amongst my favourite series ever. Now she is just streeeeetching ... can't she start an all new world?

I love Mac and Barrons, but I feel like I’ve been waiting to read this book since the series began. I have had a soft spot for Dani since her introduction. I don’t want to spoil anything for others, but if you’re a fan of this series, especially if you’ve fallen behind, catch up and grab this one! It might just be my favorite of them all. I loved it!

I really enjoyed this one. It's back in line with the flow and excitement of the original 4 books. Dani is one of our favorite characters and we want to cheer her on as she comes into her own sense of balance. The tension between her and Ryodan has always been fun to follow. Hard to jump in on the middle if you haven't followed the series from the beginning .

You would think after 9 books that the series would get dull. It has not! The storyline shifts in this book from Mac to Dani. This book is unlike some other Fever series because it does not end on a cliffhanger where you wonder what will happen for a year. Prepare to fill satisfied at the end of this book.
So the female lead, Dani, gives us a great example of a complex young woman. I think at some stage we can all relate to some of her feelings. This is also a faster paced book.

This book really hit home for me. I started reading this series because it was my best friend’s favorite series and fell in love with it the same way I fell for her. We were really a real life “Dani and Dancer”. We no longer talk however because of extenuating circumstances and my life just isn’t the same without her. I miss her everyday. I hope she understands why I had to sever ties, much like the way Ryo had to leave Dani for awhile. If you ever read this Mega, always know that I will love you like pie always and forever.

Love Love LOVE! I have been a fan of Karen's work for a long time and was so excited for this book. Great continuation of the Fever world she has created for her readers and we get a look into the lives of some of our favorite characters that we haven't had a lot of backstory on from past books, which I love even more. If you are a fan of other worldly books that allow you to step out of your own reality and into a world full of wonder, mystery and fantasy, then the Fever Series is great, and it doesn't hurt to have some sexy men thrown in!

Been waiting for this book to happen. Loved Dani's and Ryodan's story. Just found out there is another book planned. Can't imagine where it's going. Would like to read more about Christian or Kat and Sean.

Great addition to the existing series. I thought the last book was the last one, but so happy this one came out. I wish there had been more action with Mac and Barrons. Hoping for at least one more book in this series. Recommend this book if you have read all the others in this series.

KMM has this incredible ability to give voice to her characters. Each is so unique and who they are shines through so clearly. I LOVED this book. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. Ryodan and Dani are perfect for one another and their coming together is just as electrifying as I hoped for. ❤️

Excellent....deep emotion and exciting revelations! About magic, love, death, sex, this story continues the adventures of Dani. I hope there will be more! In order to get the most out of this book, please start with Dark Magic. Continue in order. This book touched my soul. The Fae series by Moning is the 2nd best series I have ever read. The first was Stephen King's Dark Tower series starting with the Gunslinger.>

KMM lived up to usual awesomeness in the newest fever addition. I wasn't sure at all how Dani would carry her own. To be honest, she always got on my nerves just a little. ? But HV exceeded my expectations! ? Dani and Ryo are now a part of my favorite love stories!

Contains a Spoiler:

I’ve read all of KMM’s books and been a huge fan- I preferred the Highlander Series, but Iced was one of my favorite books from the Fever world. I thought Dani and Ryoden were great characters and I was really looking forward to this book since it would finally be about them. I found myself skimming pages and trying to get to the end- it just didn’t have the “magic” of KMM’s earlier books. The plot was weak, Ryoden was missing for a chunk of the book and *SPOILER* Dani turned into a Hunter??!! I was left truly disappointed with this book.

If you love the Fever series you will love this book too. Karen never disappoints and this one was better than I anticipated! Can’t wait for the next set of adventures no matter who they are or where they lead.

These two are spectacular! I loved them from the minute they met! Wonderful how the author tied them together through time! Loved the "Elvis sneer" reference as I am a huge E fan! Great book on every level!

Karen Moning is one of my favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and read the entire Fever series. With High Voltage she has outdone herself. Her characters grow, change, live, love, forgive and dazzle. This book spoke to my soul. There are so many things that make me consider myself in a new way, things that have also been helpful through rough times. That holds true for many of her books. Karen has built a world that sucks you in and won't let go. There's action, romance, friendship, mystery and so much more. But this book. You won't be disappointed.

I just started this book, having read and enjoyed all the previous Fever books. The new male narrator, Jim Frangione, is so bad that I can't listen anymore. I'm afraid I'll get whiplash from cringing. He sounds like an old timey radio announcer. I still want to finish the book though so will buy the e-book. I should mention the female narrator is quite good, but I'm so disappointed they chose the male narrator. He is SO wrong for these type of books. Why, Karen, why.

I have not read this book because I have been SO TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED since she screwed with the MacKeltars and ruined that family. The author, who at one time I thought was fantastic, seems to have gone off the rails in these last few books. She wanders around and makes absolutely zero sense. I am sorry to see this in someone I thought was a good author. After a while when you make no sense and it is just a rehash, you have to let it go..................(PAYING ATTENTION JANET EVANOVICH?)
