MacKayla, simply known as Mac has just received the shock of her life. Well, the initial shock of her life to be followed by many others. She just found out that her sister has been murdered. A mysterious cell phone message and the failure of the police to find the murderer, is all the incentive Mac needs to take the investigation into her own hands. So she drains her life savings and buys a one way ticket to Ireland. Once there she discovers a world she didn’t know existed. An extraordinary world of the Fae, and she happens to be a sidhe-seer , one who can see the Fae. In pursuit of her sisters killer her only clue is a book called the sinsar dubh (Dark Fae book, whoever has it rules the world, you know the plot line). She is inquiring about the book, when she is intercepted by the mysterious Jericho Barrons. He may be her only allie, but even she isn’t sure. It seems like around every corner the dark Unseelie Fae are finding their unsuspecting victims, Mac only hopes she won’t be next. Her only desire is to find her sisters killer, but will the pursuit of the Sinsar Dubh be more than she can handle?First off, I think I should mention that this isn’t a YA book, since that is the majority of what I review. I’ve had several people ask me if I had read it and it sounded interesting enough so I thought I would give it a try. I ended up really liking it and I can’t wait to read the next book Bloodfever. I’ve saw this book at B&N in the fantasy section, but my library had it classified under romance?? I’m not really sure why, because there isn’t really any romance in it, but it is a kick butt fantasy book. Do be warned that there are sexual "references" in the book though. I hadn’t read anything by Moning, but I enjoyed her writing style. I do recommend this book, but only to older/mature fantasy fans. ( )

It could have been an interesting story, but the protagonist was far too immature for me to enjoy the book very much. I doubt I'll bother reading anything more from this author. ( )

Southern glam-girl MacKayla Kane is seeing faeries. Unhappily, they aren't the sweet, butterfly, harmless type. They're more the soul-sucking, rather kill you than look at you type. Her sister's dead, and she's in Ireland without friends or family for back-up. Forget the evil that men do - faeries have far, far worse in store, and rainbow-girl Mac may be the only one that can stop them. If she survives her introduction to Dublin.

A bit rough, and the beginnings sort of slow, but there's still enough hook here to have me eager to start on installment #2. It's a bit Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. ( )

I didn't like the book. It was interesting at the beginning and at the end, but I felt the author was all over the place in the middle. Nothing gets revealed or resolved in this first book. It was all like a waste of time for me. ( )

I really enjoyed this book, but the second book in the series was such a disappointment that I did not go on to the third. The second book did so little to further the story, that I felt like nothing had happened. ( )
