HIGH VOLTAGE

            High Voltage is the latest in Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. It is, in Dani’s words, Dublin ATS – after the Song; much of the earth has healed, and the ancient magic within has reawakened. The Fae are relatively quiet, but things are changing. There are ancient earth gods stirring. Dani, as always, is taking care of her Dublin. But, Mac is gone, the Nine are gone; Dani is left to care for everything and everyone by herself. And, Dani, too, is changing.

            High Voltage is a Dani book. I have not been much of a Dani fan – or a fan of Moning’s Dani books – but, Dani grown up is a lot like Mac. So, I enjoyed High Voltage much more than I expected. It was a very pleasant surprise. Like many of Moning’s Fever books, this one is packed full of information and action. We learn a lot. Many questions are answered (though not all of them). And, all this is accomplished in one of Moning’s most creative – and imaginative – books yet.

            Despite being over 400 pages, the end of High Voltage came too soon for me. But at the end – and before Moning’s wonderful, extensive Glossary – she includes several deleted scenes, a wonderful addition that helps ease the transition back from the Fever world.
