About this book
MacKayla Lane's life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she's your perfectly ordinary 21st-century woman. Or so she thinks...until something extraordinary happens.
When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death - a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone - Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers.
The quest to find her sister's killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae.
As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women - closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac's true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds.

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...
