Photo Credit: Lepiaf Geo Dark Fever is the first in Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. Now, this particular series is not for the faint of heart, or those who are impatient. I for one love the series, it is quite dark and complicated. After reading the book, you will understand; for the book will leave you with many questions and begging for more! As a matter of fact, I am currently rereading the book to look for clues that I may have missed the first time around:)
Is Karen's name familiar to you? Well, if it is, you may be thinking of her Highlander series, from what I have been told they are romance novels (I have not read them yet). The fever series is not that kind of romance, although it is building up to end with a great romance (fingers crossed) when her final book in the series is released.
Dark Fever is the story of MacKayla Lane, a twenty two year old girl from Ashford, Georgia. She is the youngest of two siblings, lives at home, and doesn't really have a care in the world. That is until her world turns upside down when she finds out about her sister's death. Mac ends up heading to Dublin (where her sister was murdered) to get answers from the Garda. While in Dublin, she discovers that she has the ability to see Fae (fairies, not the Tinker Bell kind), an ability that could get her killed. As if finding the "person" responsible for her sister's death wasn't enough on her plate?!?
Along her way, Mac meets Barrons, a very yummy book store owner; and V'lane a Seelie Fae Prince. Both are fighting for her alliance, and of course they are on opposite sides (as far as we know). V'lane likes to use his Fae ability to get to her (I am so not spoiling that ability, you need to read that one to appriciate it). Barrons, on the other hand, shows Mac that he will not let her die and that he loves to be impossible.
Is Dark Fever worth a read? Personally, I think it is. If you used to be a Buffy fan, or you are a True Blood/Southern Vampire series fan, than this will be a great read. Unlike other dark/vampire romance series, this one keeps you guessing not only as to what each character is, but who they really are. It is almost a coming of age series, as we get to see Mac go from Mac 1.0 to Mac 4.0 as she puts it.
Dark Fever retails for around $7.99. If you happen to own the Amazon Kindle it is available at the Kindle store for free! Don't worry, even if you don't like this book, it will not bother me. I just have found that I like my romance novel men a little dark and dangerous (my hubby doesn't need to know that though).
