About this book
MacKayla Lane is an ordinary woman living an uncomplicated life until the brutal murder of her sister shatters her world. Left with only a cryptic voicemail, Mac travels to the rain-swept streets of Dublin, expecting to find closure. Instead, she stumbles into a treacherous, hidden reality where the veil between the human world and the dangerous realm of the Fae is rapidly disintegrating.
As she navigates this urban fantasy landscape, Mac discovers she possesses a rare, latent gift that allows her to see what others cannot. She quickly finds herself caught in a dark romance, shadowed by the enigmatic and dangerously seductive Jericho Barrons. While he offers a cynical guide through the city's underbelly, the ruthless alpha Fae Vlane lurks in the wings, turning desire into a lethal weapon.
This gripping tale masterfully blends gothic atmosphere with heart-pounding paranormal stakes. It is the perfect pick for readers who crave high-tension narratives filled with moral ambiguity, forbidden attraction, and supernatural intrigue. As the search for the all-powerful Sinsar Dubh intensifies, Mac must learn to master her newfound abilities or risk being consumed by the very darkness she is determined to uncover. Prepare to be completely enthralled.

So over the weekend I found myself completely in the thrall of Moning's Fever series. It's not every day I run into a series earns a solid place on my \"Favorites\" list, but this series earned itself an unequivocal place of honor. It may even make my top 10 favorite series of all time list. It's a series I can see re-reading many, many times. This is actually a review of the whole series (no spoilers, I promise). Since I held off on reading this series for so long because of the first few...

The first half of this book is spent introducing characters and setting up the storyline, so it is a little slow. However, I think that is perfectly normal in the first book of a series. The second half more than makes up for the lack of action in the beginning. I've also read the 2nd book in the series (Bloodfever) and can say that the momentum continues through the second book. So truly, it is only the setup that seems a little slow. I'd never read a paranormal novel that was specifically...

It's been a while since I read an adult urban fantasy book. I choose this series in particular because I have heard nothing but praise about this book and I thought it was time. The final verdict? I loved it. The story get you all wrapped in it from the very beginning, I do have to admit that at first is a little slow but I think that is necessary because once Mrs. Moning take you into his Fey world, you gotta pay attention to every detail because eventually everything would click together in...

YES! I have been listening to audio books on youtube and just desided on a whim to check some of my old favorites. Sure enough, this series was here! I have 3 kids and we take long trips and having an audio book in my ear makes things so much easier. This audio book is great so far and has me excited about having 10 more books to listen too. Back in the day I read the whole series and I own all the books. Books are hard to read when you have 3 homeschooled kiddoes. I just put on my headphones...

You need to read all five books together. It's one long story with cliffhanger endings at the end of each book. There are slow parts and repetition in the last three books, but it's still an entertaining story. I can't believe how many times I made notes of interesting conversations, ideas, and things that made me chuckle. I loved the scene where Mac and Barrons had an angry conversation with their eyes (page 230). What I liked best about the book was the relationship. They didn't like each...
