The Lost Challenges discussion

The 1st in series BOM is Iced by Karen Marie Moning.


Please join in conversation about the book as you read in in December.

I belive there were a record number of votes for this book so hopefully everyone who voted will be able to join in and get a good discussion going!

I am going to try and read this one. But I have to finish Shadowfever

I'd like to hear thoughts on this one compared to fever and compared to the highlanders.

I was not a fan of Mac & Barrons but loved her first highlander book. The world of the fever series was interesting, I was just turned off by Mac & Barrons, so I am wondering if I would enjoy the spin off since it doesn't focus on them.

So I'd appreciate a comparison of characters after someone has read this.

I'm going to put off reading this one since I still have to finish the fever series first, but I think I'll reread the books since it's been 2 years since I've read most of the series.

Ok, so lots of votes on this one, who is reading this month?

i want too join this convo. ita a great book. i just recently finished it a fresh with excitement

guess i'll start. first of all i loved loved loved fever. Mac was a perfect stereo type as the southern bell. i enjoyed watching her come undone and put herself back together again. i was impressed that KMM was able to maintain the same ideals of the fever world but with a totally new eye. though its the same it still feels so different to me. its been a while since i read Mac's and Barrons' fever, so some of the minor themes i'd forgotten about but it didn't hinder me from being able to fully enjoy the story. i think the only thing that someone that had not read the first fever would be a little lost at would be the fully story of Dani and Mac, and the Abbey. however Moning gives so much info that i believe that anyone could jump right in.

I read ICED before I ever read the Fever series. I agree that the full Dani/Mac story would throw you in the beginning. At least it did me. But, once you got into it, I think it is ok. After a second read to pick up details, I really liked ICED despite Dani saying Dude and Feck every five minutes.

I'm now on the third book of Fever and can honestly say I do not like Mac. I can see the how People are comparing Mac/Barrons to Dani/Ryodan but to me that's just on the surface.

I'm someone who never warmed up to Mac until the last couple books in the Fever series, or at least, I disliked her a bit less. I like Dani much better as a narrator, although I did occasionally get annoyed by the repetition of "Dude". In comparing Ryodan to Barrons, I definitely like Ryodan more, although I can't quite put my finger on why that is.

I never warmed to Mac or Barrons. I only made it through book 2. Glad to see people are liking Dani better, I might put it on my to read someday list.
