Moning tones down the emphasis on romantics as found in the Highlander series for more of an emphasis on plot. And while I found I didn't relate well to Mac the main character of the Fever series, I was intrigued with Moning's new story-line. I will look for more in her second book. ( )

What a refreshing start to a series! i put off reading this book for a long time, as I wasn't at all interested in reading a book that takes place in Ireland, and especially one that dealt with a murdered sister. I assumed it would be heavy on the mystery. Well heavy on the mystery it was, but it also combined a lot of urban fantasy and paranormal beings if you will. The end is a true cliffhanger, and I'm just glad I read the book late enough in the game, to actually be able to go out and purchase the 2nd installment. This was my first time reading Ms. Monings work, but if this is any indication of what she's capable of, she has just gained a new fan. ( )

I found this book to be very readable. As a fan of urban fantasy, I'm excited to have found another series to read. This is clearly an "introductory" book for the series - it presents the main characters along with their world and plenty of new revelations about that world. It is clearly meant to set up the story or stories of the rest of the series and it does it well.

The problem that I have with implementing a series in this way is that this book would not stand alone well. It does not have a dramatic episode of such significance, along with it's resolution, that leaves the reader satisfied at the conclusion. I understand the marketing strategy of leaving the reader wanting more but it should be balanced with enough of a storyline that you can say "that was a great story" not "that was part of potentially great story." It feels like cheating to me.

But, that said, I am compelled to read on... ( )

Annoying protagonist, i.e. she reads like a real person. Someone who, at times, you just want to ring her neck, but you cheer for anyway.

Good read. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440240980, Mass Market Paperback)

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 first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands….
