Darkfever (Fever, #1)

by Karen Marie Moning

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. . . .

Look for all of Karen Marie Moning’s sensational Fever novels:

I forgot about that...

I absolutely love going back to a favourite story after years of being away. It's exciting to catch up with the characters that you've grown to love and see how they started their journey together. This start...or, revisit, was a little surprising, to be honest. I forgot how shallow Mac was and how rude, gruff and determined Jericho was. There were a lot of times that I 'remembered' parts as I went along and smirked at how different these two end up.

The narrator does a fairly good job but I don't think ANY female narrator could "be" Jericho. He's such an intense, masculine and dominating character, that a female narrator just can't do him justice. On the other hand, the narrator does Mac and the other characters well.

No change to my ratings as I loved revisiting Mac and Barrons. I will definitely be coming back to listen to more of this series, I forgot how much I loved it.
