Publisher's Summary

MacKayla Lane's life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she's your perfectly ordinary 21st-century woman.

Or so she thinks...until something extraordinary happens.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death - a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone - Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers.

The quest to find her sister's killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae.

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women - closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac's true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds.

By: Sharon (USA)

I think my main problem with this book was the narrator. I wish Audible would let you rate the story and the narrator separately. This narrator's voice was way too old to be a 22 year old girl and yet she made the main male character sound like a leprechaun who had smoked for 30 years. It was so awful. Here was a guy who was supposed to be attractive, and his voice was totally irritating.

The main character was also annoying in that you had to continually hear about every thing she wore, including her underwear, her nail polish, etc, again and again. I've heard that it was supposed to show us in the following books how her character matures, but give me a break. I'm not even sure I'll make it to the further books, although the premise of this one was pretty good. I know there are some real devotees of the series, so maybe I'll read book 2 rather than listen to this narrator again. I notice that for book 4, they have new narrators, a man and a woman. I think that the man/woman combination could work well and I hope they are better.

I found the story to be an interesting one, but the narrator was extremely weak. Her attempt at different accents was painful, and greatly detracted from my enjoyment of the audiobook. I'd like to listen to other books in this series, but will probably pass if this narrator is attached.

I was sceptical about this, but decided to listen to the recommendations of several friends and was pleasantly surprised.

I was drawn in almost immediately and couldn't stop until I had listened to all of the available books in the series.

Rating 2.0Rating 2.0Rating 2.0Rating 2.0Rating 2.0 "Its an intro... nothing more"
By: Taryn (Canada)
October 17, 2009
I really enjoyed the Highlander series. I loved the narrator and characters. I always found myself staying up too late to hear 'just a a little more'.
This book however failed on every expectation I had. I'm hoping this book was just an intorduction with all the background into the dark world Mac falls into.
The lead female 'Mac', is not one of Ms Moning's better characters. She leaves much to be desired. I didn't feel compelled to pull for her in the dark circumstances she finds herself in. The 'romance' is lacking heavily!!! Ms Moning's earlier books gave me an escape, with some easy light and steamy listening.
The narrator doesn't deliver the same intensity as her earlier books, which also made listening hard.
However, if this is just an intro and the series gets better (and you intend to listen to the series), there is tons of background info you'll need to know.
Now on to Bloodfever..................
