 Oh my GOD! November 28, 2006

This book is probably the very best that Ms Moning has written so far. If you've read the others that she has written then you will have already met Adam Black (tall, dark, gorgeous... Fey!) and probably found yourself wondering about him. This book will answer all the questions you might have had about him, as well as giving you another helping of the lovely MacKeltar twins with their wives... Who can complain about that?! If you haven't already been hooked by this series, then I recommend that you start at the beginning so that you can get the background on Adam Black, although the first few books are not as good they are definitely worth reading! Make sure you have plenty of free quiet time for this one, I guarantee you're not gonna want to stop reading!
Oh, I loved this book! October 27, 2006

For all of this book to make sense I'd recommend you start with 'The Kiss of the Highlander', move on to 'The Dark Highlander' and then 'The Spell of the Highlander'. This book can stand on it's own but you will love the others so why not get them all at once and immerse yourself in the Highlander World.
Since discovering the series earlier in the year I've re-read them all a number of times. I just love this world that Ms Moning has revealed. Adam Black is the disgraced Fae Prince that only Gabby can see, and this book is about the journey they must make together to restore his full power (oh, and to save the world as we know it). Gabby has been told since childhood that to be discovered by the Fae would mean death so she is fighting her attraction to Adam. Well, most of the time... We all know they are meant to be together but, as always, you cannot completely predict the way in which it will happen.
I appreciated the inclusion of Drustan, Gwen (Kiss of the Highlander), Dageus and Chloe (The Dark Highlander). But what makes this special for me is that it alludes to the stories that are still to come. I for one can't wait for them.
One note: there is a prequel to this book where we meet Adam Black and his son Circenn. I liked it, but it wasn't great like the others I have mentioned; I think that author has developed her style for the better since it was written. But if you are like me and can't get enough of the series you might well want to take a look at 'The Highlanders Touch' to complete the picture.
Adam Black in human form - how can anyone resist? January 12, 2006

All of Karen Moning's Highlander books are exquisite but the story of Adam Black is one of the author's personal favorites and it shows. This is an excellent book from front to cover and although I would recommend that Ms Moning's books are read in the order that they she intented, the book is able to stand alone as well. The story of the Immortal Highlander (a devilishly handsome "Fae" creature with magic powers who is condemned to human form by his queen) is delicious. Although Adam lacks his normal powers, he is still such a powerful man that he is able to keep his human love safe and protected (most of the time). The ending to this book is bitter sweet but fitting and makes me yearn for more.
Adam's back, this time the sexy blacksmith has met his match November 19, 2005

The long awaited story of Adam Black and it was worth the wait. Hotter than a Texas sidewalk in July, sexier than is possible, and oh so fey. Our girl does not stand a chance against Adam. Has the immortal highlander finally met his match in a young virgin lawyer from Ohio? Adam is willing to do anything to see to her safety, give her any possession, love her completely but will he extract a price that will cost her, her immortal soul? Any one who has read Karen's books has wondered about Adam, could he repent, could he change, could anyone bring him to heal, who could ease his lonely existence? Truly, a gift to her readers, Adam's story is the best she has ever written. Not because the plot is so great,(it really is) or we get to meet up with old friends from her previous books,(that's wonderful) no it's because any one who has read her books has lusted after, fantasized about and wanted to sleep with the immortal blacksmith. This story is every bit as good as I ever could have wanted it to be, the only thing wrong with it was that it had to end. Adam Black is taken, sigh... Sexy beyond words, a must read for Alpha male lovers
 The Immortal Highlander August 5, 2004

This was a most enjoyable book, if you've read the other books from this series then this is an absolute must, if you haven't you don't need to have read the others but it would help as there are some references made to them which could be confusing if you haven't read them, plus they are very good in their own right. My recommendation READ them All.
