Faefever by Karen Marie Moning
Buy on Amazon
Summary:
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 theSinsar 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.
My Review:
Faefever holds the honor of being one of the books that I hate with an intense passion but cannot get enough of.
The first two books in the Fever series move forward slowly, outlining the plot well, revealing information, players and special abilities. But Faefever takes that pace and magnifies it by about 1000.
In this book we deal primarily with the two weeks before Samhain. The walls between Faery and Earth are coming down and that is not a good thing. Mac battles against Rowena, against V’lane and against Jericho Barrons as she struggles to figure out who she can trust – but by the end of the book (and.. the end is a doozy, make sure you have Book #4 handy), she finds out, unfortunately.
I think the dark horse in these books, hiding in the huge shadows of V’lane and Barrons, is Dani – a 13 year old Sidhe-Seer who has heightened senses and abilities. She can hear and see things from far away and she can move really, really fast. Plus, she’s just plain fun and I enjoy the scenes with her in them.
I’d write more but… I have Dreamfever sitting here and now that I’ve re-read the first three I’m itching to dive into it for the first time.
