Faefever: The Fever Series (edition 2009)

This was a wonderful read. I loved how the author really sets into motion things that may be coming attractions for the later novels. Karen Marie Moning illustrates a world on the brink of chaos and her characters are intriguing to say the least.

I enjoyed Mac's newfound alliance with Dani, a young sidhe-seer in desperate need of guidance and friendship. Out of all of the other young women who were born with special gifts, Dani is the only one who is comparable to Mac's ever-growing power.

I also enjoyed the fact that we finally see a tiny smidgen of humanity shown by Barrons. He starts to show genuine concern for her, but only in small instances when he isn't busy degrading and pointing out her apparent continuous foolishness.

Also, it was nice to see what it really would take to become Pri-ya and to know the exact depravity of becoming one. Sure, in the previous novels we are told that becoming Pri-ya means sex with a Fae and forever being an addict. However, until Halloween night, Mac never fully comprehends what it entails, and sadly, experiences it firsthand. I felt terrible for her, I wanted to reach in and save her, but I have a feeling that it will make her stronger in the long haul. If she survives being Pri-ya, there is hope for her and the rest of mankind. ( )

Okay, so my love for this series has not diminished. It's actually gotten borderline obsessive. I'm starting to worry about what the heck I'm going to do with myself once I finish. haha!I have become so completely wrapped up in this 'world' that it's all I can think about half the time!

Expect a doozy of an ending and an immediate desire to scoop up book four (which is what I'm doing ... right now.) :) ( )

These books keep getting better, as Mac gets stronger, and more twisted, and gets what she has to do a little more. I really like Barrons, even though he's not forthcoming with information. ( )

Read Abigail's review at All Things Urban Fantasy. ( )

Mac still keeps making one stupid decision after another, and she's not a particularly endearing heroine (and we're three books in).

It’s just that in the Deep South, women learn at a young age that when the world is falling apart around you, it’s time to take down the drapes and make a new dress. - Say it ain't so!

Avoiding the Sinsar Dubh at every turn thus allowing more innocent humans to die – WTF?

The only great thing about this book was the ending and the oh so wicked plot twist. ( )
