Product Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Darkfever and Bloodfever returns to Dublin’s Fae-infested shores in a bold, sensual new novel. Hurtling us into a realm of seduction and shadows, Karen Marie Moning tells the enthralling tale of a woman who explores the limits of her mysterious powers as she enters a world of ancient sorcery—and confronts an enemy more insidious than she could ever have imagined.
He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too. When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.
Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.
As All Hallows’ Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.…

 Here's the problem; the reason for such extreme reviews. September 28, 2008

Most of Moning's books are connected, but each book was a self-contained story with a happy ending in the spirit of romance. When she went into fiction rather than the romance genre things got violent and ugly...the sex got rough, something you can't do in a regular historical romance.
The Fever series is one story split into 5 books and Moning doesn't leave us in a happy place at the end of each book the way a romance does. Things get really ugly in FaeFever, but I have no doubt that in the end Moning will give me what I want... sex with Jericho Barrens.
Moning hasn't written a male love interest this ruthless, hard-hearted, nasty or indifferent before. I suspect Barrens wrote the diary pages Mac is reading, if so he has some terrible demons of his own that likely are exactly the kind of demons Mac is now going to have. The horrific ending to FaeFever is exactly what Barrens needs to snap him into shape and admit his love for Mac.
This story telling is different than Monings other books because you only get Mac's side of the story and therefore no reassurance about Jericho's intentions or feelings. It's an excellent series, but if I have to wait a year for book 4 I'll scream! Karen...I'm sure you look at these reviews...PLEASE don't make us suffer! :-)
Whoa thrown right into the action! Excellant! September 18, 2008

Mac and Barrons are still after the Sinsar Dubh. Mac still doesn't know who she should pledge her allegiance too: Barrons or V'lane? A lot of her questions are still going unanswered by both. Who is Barrons really? What is he? How old is he really? Is he good or evil? Both "men" are fighting desperately to win her to their sides; both have put their mark on her physically. Yet everyone including Christian MacKelter are all wondering who has slept with her. I don't know how that's going to affect the story in the future. None the less, war is about to be engaged. Mac and the sidhe-seerers know something is going on in Dublin, something big. She still isn't being accepted into the "club" she so desperately wants to be a part of. Rowena has six woman attack Mac to retrieve the spear. Things don't go as expected. Mac gets her sister's diary entries sent to her by an anonymous sender. She has no idea who has her beloved sister's diary and who is sending them to her. After receiving these mysterious letters she gets a call from the Lord Master himself.
Mac finds out what the Sinsar Dubh really is and is astounded (truly it is surprising).The Sinsar Dubh is moving around Dublin by itself, for you to find out you'll have to read the story =) what becomes of Mac in the end? Will Mac ever find out who Barrons is? What happened to V'lane? So many questions to be answered in the next book!
My gosh what a cliffhanger! Moning you have done it again! Faefever is by far the best one in the series yet! Some questions have been answered but you are still left with a ton more. I can really feel for Mac she has so much on her plate. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, but wow, a lot of unexpected things happen! You are left right in the action at the end. I really want to continue reading Mac's story, hopefully you will too. Excellent book, met my expectations and more!

Take a deep breath....okay, I admit, I read some of the spoilers before I read the book. I couldn't help it! And for me anyways, it helped prepare me for what was to come.
This is the darkest book so far but conversely, it was also one of the funniest and had the most moments that reminded me of KMM's highlander series. Maybe it was because Christian explains who his uncles are. It was bittersweet to have so many of her previous heroes mentioned...yet know that they wouldn't be saving our heroine this time. Mac's story doesn't yet have a happy ending and I want one for her so badly. I think I understand Mac when she talks about spatial distortion--I feel it when I'm reading about such dark things happening in the same world that Dagaeus, Drustan, Adam and Cian had once occupied and I believed had saved.
There are funny moments with Vlane and Barrons. I laughed out loud at a scene with Barrons. All I can say is that the scene was so vivid I could picture it. There was sexual tension, hope, lust, love, fear and everything that Mac goes through we feel.
Vlane and Barrons both show more of themselves in this one. Vlane is more forthcoming with information, explaining about the Unseelie and Seelie. KMM explains a lot in this book, things that were never revealed before. Mac is a much stronger person now, her spirit is still strong but it's tempered by what she's been through. Will go through.
If I could, I wish I could fast forward time and it would be next year and I would be reading the next book right now. Great book. Nail biting cliff hanger. My suggestion is to read it slow, savor the funny moments, the sexy moments and the revelations because we've got another year to wait to find out what happens to Mac.
A critical link in the storyline September 18, 2008

I absolutely loved DF and BF, books 1 and 2. And I disagree that the storyline did not advance. Ok, so maybe we didn't get as much nitty-gritty sexy scenes but we learned so much more necessary background for the entire series. Karen Moning has continuously said that this is going to be a 5 book series. If you are a person that asks your buddy sitting next to you how the movie ends, now is not the time to begin this series. Wait a couple of years until the last book comes out. But if you want a fast paced, superbly written fantasy fiction novel, then by all means, join the rest of us "Moning Maniacs" on this crazy/wonderful ride through Mac's life.
All I was expecting and more! September 16, 2008

All that I have become accustomed to expect from a KMM Fever book! Intriguing, shocking, thought provoking and being left with the desire to know what happens next.
Its main focus is Mac finding out more about who she is and becoming stronger within herself so she is able to face what is still to come, who she can trust, and more about some of the key players in this thrilling series.
As usual sets as many questions as it answers and gives you as much to think about at the end as the previous two have!
