Book Reviews of Spell of the Highlander (Highlander, Bk 7)

This is the second time now that I've been a bit disappointed with a book in this series. I had really hoped it would be better than the last one (The Immortal Highlander), but it's really just more of the same. The stories just keep going "Oh, no! We have a deadly problem! Let's run to Castle MacKelter!" It's really getting old and it makes me not look forward to the future books that will eventually come out in this series. (As is promised by the author.)

This is book 8 in the series. I just love these time travel romance novels. KMM takes me back to a time when romance novels where more descriptive and sexual. In fact I even recently received Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon and can't wait to read it as I was told this is very similar to KMM.

The story into which Spell of the Highlander is embedded is fascinating. It is a story that spans KMM's Highlander series, and leads into her brand new 'Fever' series. The book is worth reading just to understand key elements of this overall epic! In fact it is a must have.

Cian is a powerful Druid, and there are reasons to believe that his time being trapped in the mirror was by design, to bring him forward, with his kinsmen, also trapped in the 21st century from the 16th century, to fight an epic battle that is still to come in the series. But the fun part is watching this arrogant former Celtic Laird from the 9th century make adjustments to dealing with a modern woman and modern society. He is an old fashioned man with the manners of a caveman, but also one of the most compelling characters in this genre today. And watching him interact with his kinsmen, protagonists from other books by the same author, is priceless!

This is a great book, I got it on a whim and was so glad I did. It is a series of books dealing with magic and highlanders and the women they meet. The story lines are amazing and the characters are well-developed. The sex is so fantastic. I love a good story and even better with some great fantastic drawn out sex. So, if are secretly wishing for a man who knows what he wants and demands it, then you had better get yourself hooked onto this series.

This book was awesome! I read it cover to cover in one night; I couldn't put it down...a definite page turner.

I read it in one night. Couldn't put it down.

Cian MacKelter's story. Best one of the series.

Who wouldn't like to look in an antique mirror and find a sexy hunk who asks you to release him. When Jessie does so he can save her life, the adventure is just starting. Magic mirrors and an ancestor to the MacKeltar men from the earlier books....yum.

keeper.

good fast read

I loved this book. The entire series is amazing. I'm not into time travel books, but this series made me think twice. The author created a series that linked the stories without creating a carbon copy each time. I've read some series that the stories were too a like. Not here. They are very different stories, but seems to be able to relate them in an interesting way. I can't wait to read more of her books.

Another great Highlander book by Moning! This installment focused on Cian MacKelter and Jessi St James - he is a Druid that got trapped in an Unseelie mirror centuries ago, and she is a grad student trying to get her archaeology degree. The story focuses on him trying to free of the mirror as well as their budding romance. There is more intrigue and action in this story - you find out more about faery - the Seelie and Unseelie. There is more of a plot line that brings together all of the Highlander books - Cian and Jessi come together with the other MacKelters (Drustan and Dageus) to battle an enemy who not only holds the key to Cian's freedom - but also to information about several Unseelie artifacts that could be detrimental to humanity if in the wrong hands.

With each Highlander book - I think to myself - wow that was my favorite one - and then I read another and another and think the same thing for each. A great series that will keep you captivated and up until all hours trying to finish to find out what happens. I highly recommend the book and series!

I absolutely loved this book I've read it at least 4 times. Cian is not perfect by any means but who wants perfect and Jessi knows how to stand by her man. Love Moning wish she would get back to the Highlanders

An archaeology student, a real kilted Druid Highlander, a little magic, and an enemy who would like to destroy them both-a tale both imaginative and unusual.

Not my favorite of the series, but still a good read.

Amazing. I love anything that Karen Marie Moning writes.

Fast paced reading with interesting storyline and likable funny characters. Worth the read.

I really loved this book I would like to get them all if I could. Hooked from beginning to end!!!

Okay seriously? I'm tired of writing stuff in these books that make you go "Huh? I don't remember that" and then have to go searching through one of the previous books in the series to figure something out. It's gotten darned irritating. Bad enough with book 6, now I'm only in the prologue of book 7 and have to do it again?
The four hallows in book 4 were a spear, stone, sword, and cauldron. Now it's a book and a mirror and something else? COME ON!!!

I've read all the books . . . the heros all look the same. . . the heroines all look the same . . . they all "sizzle" . . . the all say the same words . . . . they last books in this series became very formulaic. That said, I wouldn't NOT read it . . . I probably would have enjoyed them more if I had spread them out and not read them all back-to-back in a two week period.

Spell of the Highlander is one of my favorite in the series. It is a little darker than the others, and intertwines present day, thus not back in old Scotland. Cian may be my favorite Highlander yet. If you are a fan of Karen Marie Moning's other series you see how more othe charcters tie togheter and start figuring out some of the underlaning plot in that series as well. A good read.

Awesome book! If you love romance mixed w/excitement and a little erotica, you'll love this book! I read it within a few hours and can't wait to read more of the author's books!

Another good story in Moning's MacKeltar druid series. Some definitely steamy love scenes. Revisit with the characters from the previous books.

This is the first of Ms. Moning's books that I have read. Want to read all of them now! Could not put it down......

Another great one from Moning.

Nonstop action for fans of paranormal romance.

This is the first book I have read in this series. I wish I had started with the first, but this one flows nicely anyway. It is a great book, and I can't wait to read the others.

another great moning book !
