Book Review: The Dark Highlander by Karen Marie Moning

I am Dageus MacKeltar, a man with one good conscience and thirteen bad ones, driven to sate my darkest desires…

From his penthouse lair high above Manhattan, Dageus looks out over a glittering city that calls to the darkness within him. A sixteenth-century Scot trapped between worlds, he is fighting a losing battle with the thirteen Druids who possess his soul, dooming him to an eternity of sexual pursuit. When Chloe Zanders, student of antiquities, is drawn into his world, she finds the insatiable alpha male an irresistible lure.Before long, she is caught up in an ancient prophecy that will sweep her back into time to medieval Scotland. Plunged into a world of timeless magic and dark seduction, she will soon face the challenge of a lifetime: fighting thirteen evil spirits for the heart of one irresistible man....

What I liked: The heat and the intensity as well as the love story and the mysticism tied into the story. I am impressed by any author that can tie in the paranormal aspect of a story without making the entire unbelievable. Another impressive feature of the story is that Moning very aptly managed to make the spark between Dageus and Chloe steamy as well as touching. I will definitely be checking into more of her work.

What I didn't like: I really don't have any complaints about this novel.
