Iced

Dude, It exceeded my expectations

I loved Dani from the Fever Series (she cracks me up!) And this story did not disappoint. I mistakenly thought this was going to be a YA book - thank goodness it wasn't! Don't get me wrong, I love YA books but I think the direction KMM is going with this character is best kept outside YA genre.
This book was way beyond my expectations. After Shadowfever I didn't think there were anymore stories to be told. Glad I was wrong!
I don't want to give away any spoilers so I will just say get this book if you loved the Fever Series.
As always, Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross are amazing!!!

5 Stars!!!!!

WOW!!!!! I am in love with a new series!

I totally agree with the previous person who said that spin offs are normally not as good as the original series. THIS ONE IS THE EXCEPTION! Anyone who has read Moning knows how complex her world and her characters are, and she is writing true to form. I was totally pulled in and submerged with this new book. I acted like one of my teenagers when I heard the music at the end and realized that the book was stopping. This is totally worth your credit. I hate, hate that I have to wait for the next one!!

As Dani would say, "Feckin' unbelievable!"

Dont Miss This One!

This is a Great Introduction for the next section of this on going story! It sets up so many avenues for these charictors to travel. You get the information on Dani's background that makes you understand how her mind works. Why she does what she does, what makes her tic.

She has two men who are fighting over her for the woman she will become, and does not realize what is going on. I can't wait for the next book!

Glad I gave this one a try

Any additional comments?

I initially wasn't planning on purchasing this book as Dani wasn't my favorite from the Fever series. I am so glad I did buy it! In this book, Dani is much more well rounded as a heroine and there is the bonus of learning more about some of the secondary characters from the Fever series that I wondered about after the last book. I am LOVING that there is a continuation of Christian's story. Looking forward to the next two books!

Start with an accent!!

Seriously, if the main character has an Irish accent, get someone who can do the accent. This story is lost in a shifting and really bad accent. Natalie Ross is a fine narrator, but she was pushed off a cliff in this effort.

I want more of this exciting, promising new series

Iced is being held as the 6th fever book or the first book in the Dani O’Malley series. KKM promised that there will be two more Dani books (Burned and Flayed)…I can only imagine what is to come.

I think this series is starting off much like the Fever series did (Dark Fever, first book) and KKM. I like the way the author takes time to really introduce each character and to let the reader get to know them. At first glance this may seem like slow development, but for me it helps me to become vested in the characters. In The Fever series Dani was a supporting or side character and Mac was the main character with Barrons being an ever present factor. In Iced, Dani is the lead and the others are revolving around her. There is much more to this girl that I ever expected. Dani is 14 years old, but this is not Young Adult Reading. Let me repeat, not Young Adult Reading.

After listing to a few chapters I was totally hooked once again. By the end of the story KKM sinks her hooks in deeper. I am already wishing the next installment of the series was out.


As always I was totally captivated by the combination of Phil G. and Natalie Ross as narrators. They have narrated several of the other Fever books that I have seriously enjoyed and this one was no different. I have to be honest, I find myself searching for other books that these two have narrated either as partners or as individuals. I have not been disappointed yet.

I am so glad I purchased his book, I loved it! I just want more!!!!! This one gets 5 stars from me!

WOW! All i can say is "Dude!"

Generally I have found but I don't really enjoy a second series involving spin-off characters from a beloved author.
That said.... OMG! You have to get this! It's MEGA amazing. I thought I would miss Mac and Barrons but I really didn't; the development of the supporting characters from the Fever series is fulfilling.
This book proves Dani is a strong enough hero to stand on her own.
If you didn't read the Fever series I think you can still enjoy this one.
Don't worry the voices and narrator chemistry are still magical.
I couldn't stop listening.

couldn't put this one down

Would you consider the audio edition of Iced to be better than the print version?

I loved this book, listened to it within a day. Moning's paranormal books (not the highlander series) are some of my favorites, they mix the raw tones and action of a Dresdon book with romance and a young perspective. My only disappointment is wondering how long I'll have to wait for the sequel, there are lots of open story lines at the end.

What other book might you compare Iced to and why?

most recently, poison princess by Kresley Cole.

What does Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It took a while to get used to the female voice but after the first chapter she was completely believable. The male voices are each distinct, great, and sexy. I'm going to look up what other books the male speaker has produced. I'm a new fan.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Welcome on-board the Dani Express dudes

I'm a huge KMM fan and this was an automatic download for me but when it started and I realised it was about a 14 year old girl I thought "oh dear I don't think I'm going to like this" as I usually only listen to any form in the romance genre.

However, I was pleasantly surprised as it was set in a futuristic fantasy world full of paranormal and human characters who all get involved in Danni's adventures. There was lots of fun filled and dramatic action coupled with treachery and betrayal and the hint of future love interests.

Worth a credit? If I'd known the book was following a 14 yr old's exploits then I wouldn't have downloaded it but the story was well written, enjoyable and anything that has Phil Gigante's voice in it then I have to say Yes.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I wasn't a big fan of Dani in the Fever series. I wasn't planning on reading or listening to this book, but decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did! If you liked the Fever and Highlander series', you'll love this too. Already am dying to know what happens next!
