Product Description:
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 twenty-first-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 very first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands….

Moning is renowned for her romances, but she should also be worshipped for her deftness in the paranormal genre.
I could not put this book down.
Makayla "Mac" Lane's whole world gets thrown in a new - and deadly - direction when the Dublin police telephone to inform her and her family that her sister has been found torn up and dead - murdered - in an alleyway. There are no leads and the case is being closed. Mac can not accept this fact and goes to Dublin against her parents wishes in search for her sister's killer to avenge her.
But now Mac is finding more evil than that which killed her sister, and a whole world she never knew existed. In fact, she's finding out things about herself she never even knew.
With a strong, sassy heroine, a smoldering, mysterious hero, and the fantastic plot and ideas of Mrs. Karen Moning a great series has been born.
Buy it. Read it. Love it.

Moning does a great job with the Fever series, the novels aren't all about sex and romance. If anything they are more about mystery and adventure. She blends in so many good aspects to make a good story.
How scary would it be to be in Mac's place? Your sister dies in Ireland and all of a sudden you can see monsters all around you? Wow. I'd have to say Mac is a strong character.She changes a lot in the book, necessary developments,and Moning does excellant work in bringing this about. The books are not confusing and everything happens in chronological order.
Dark fever left me waiting desperately for Blood Fever to come out. I HAD to know what happens to Mac. Moning is an author you want see good things from for the rest of your life. Her books leave you wanting more and more! I want to cry everytime I get to the last chapter because I dont want the book to end because its that good.

I found this book to be an ok read. I found Mac the main character to annoying and shallow, way to obsessed with her appearance. The detailed descriptions of Mac clothes and appearance were way over done. When I read a book I really don't care if a character's outfit matches her pink manicure and pedicure. Maybe in the subsequent books the author won't be as descriptive. I don't find the main characters likable and the story dragged. But I did finish it.

This is the very first and last book I've read by Moning. It was truly awful. The characters were so annoying. Mac, the main character, was shallow, petty, unimaginative, self-righteous, and boring. All she did was talk about her hair and accessories and criticize what everybody else was wearing. She had no depth at all, and her main goal in life was to be a slacker, living off her parents, in a podunk town. And what was with Jericho? All he did was shout orders at her (which she never questioned), constantly jerk her around physically and leave bruises (and she never fought back), order her to keep her mouth shut at parties (which she mindlessly did), and made her wear a bunch of slutty outfits (she didn't want to, but she couldn't go against his orders, could she?). It was quite sickening. The dialogue was mainly her getting verbally abused, and her response would be something witty like, "Huh?" The plot was weak and stayed unresolved at the end. There was basically no action, and the Southern stereotypes got old too. There was absolutely no point to this book. I love reading and am addicted to books, so I've come across some bad authors in the past, but Moning has got to be one of the worst. The only way you'd like this drivel was if you were missing most of your brain.

When I very first bought this book I was expecting another story along the lines of Moning's "Highlander" books. What I found was an enthralling urban fantasy that sucked me in and left me hanging.
The Fever books are NOT a series, they are a true serial, something you don't find very often. The driving plot extends through all three books, so you won't find any resolution in this book, only questions.
In this installment, MacKayla, or Mac, is dealing with the shock of her sister's death. Determined to find answers, she travels to Ireland and finds herself thrust into a strange world.
I love that this book constantly raises questions without offering easy answers, and that the answers, once found, come with questions of their own. We get a real feel for Mac and how she is forced to transform herself from and average American party-girl to a tough woman who is able to fight for her life.
While this is not a romance, there is tension between Mac and her one ally, Barrons. He is, at once, her only hope and possibly her greatest enemy. Despite the antagonistic nature of their tenative relationship there is a small thread of attraction between them. Even so, this is no romance and should not be misconstrued as one.
I highly recommend this book and this three book serial to fans of Moning as well as anyone who loves urban fantasy. It is intense with plenty of action and a storyline that will make the reader question everything that happens from cover to cover.
