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

I couldn't even get into it, I quit by the second chapter. This book was in a list that was recommended for readers who liked Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I did not enjoy this one. To each his own, I suppose.
 Bravo! December 19, 2008

Thank you, Karen, for creating the first characters that I felt I 'knew' in all of the books I've read in my adult life; Mac, Jerricho and V'Lane. I'm hooked, and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Captivated me right away... December 5, 2008

It doesn't happen that often that I find a series that I have to read one book after the other non-stop but after reading Dark Fever I had to read the other 2 books immediately.
I've read KMM's Highlander series and enjoyed them but the Fever series captivated me like nothing else she's written.
Can't wait for the next installment!!

There's been a constant flood of paranormal books in the market that it is sometimes a struggle navigating your way around hoping you don't end up with a disappointment. It was while rummaging through the shelves of Barnes and Noble that I saw the first two books in Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. I thought I might as well get acquainted with this author. It turned out to be a good decision, indeed. The prologue itself was a sign of the excitement and suspense to come. The main character, MacKayla Lane, gives us a brief background on the Fae and how she ended up knee-deep in supernatural terror. She narrates back to the day when her perfect rainbow world comes crumbling down after receiving a shocking phone call from the Irish Garda: her beloved sister is savagely murdered. With no leads for the police to investigate, it seems that Alina Lane is simply another girl who meets her untimely death in a foreign land. But when MacKayla hears Alina's last message on her phone, Mac knows that the answer to solving her sister's death lies across the seas. It is with sheer determination and limited funds that Mac finds herself in Ireland realizing that she is in way over her head.
Barely having acquainted herself to the Emerald Isle, Mac sees something freaky at the local pub in which a guy appears too beautiful to be human, or perhaps he isn't at all? She is then accosted by an old lady who thinks she's from the O'Connor clan and who tells her to either honor her bloodline or go die somewhere else. Then an innocent question about the elusive Sinsar Dubh ends up with her being under the protection of the enigmatic Jericho Barrons. Or is she really? Could her mysterious host and alleged protector have more to do with her sister's death? And what's the deal with V'lane, alpha Fae to the max? Beware of Fae bearing gifts for this prince gives new meaning to the words death-by-sex.
Reading the story from MacKayla's point of view allows us to delve deeper into her mind and feel her fears and bewilderment. We follow the voyage of this fun-loving Southern Belle who will leave her colorful world behind - yes, she adores pink - for a world of inexplicable madness where one book rules them all and whoever gets their hands on it holds the fate of both human and Fae. Freaky...
DARKFEVER is not your usual vampire or werewolf-filled urban fantasy, filled instead with Faery creatures that you can gorge on. Indeed, there are so many of those otherworldly creatures to feast on that, upon reaching the last pages, I knew for certain that the fever will persist as the saga of MacKayla Lane continues in Bloodfever.

I normally don't read romance but I thought what the hell. I sure am glad I read this one. I wouldn't classify it as romance though. I kept me on my toes. I enjoyed it and plan on reading the whole series.
