Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning

Bloodfever (Fever, #2)

by Karen Marie Moning

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

I used to be your average, everyday girl but all that changed one night in Dublin when I saw my first Fae, and got dragged into a world of deadly immortals and ancient secrets. . . .

In her fight to stay alive, MacKayla must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over the worlds of both the Fae and Man. Pursued by assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she can’t trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and powerful men: V’lane, the immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as irresistible as he is dangerous.

For centuries the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them.

I give this book five stars. Does Bloodfever deserve these five stars? I have no idea. All I know is that this series is horribly addicting.

I'm flying through this series right now, and I can't exactly recall what this one was about. I can tell a few things about these books as whole though.

Karen Marie Moning is a terrible person. No really. She is the absolute master of cliffhangers. She doesn't even save them for the end of the book; she implements them at the end of chapters too. She keeps driving you forward, without ever bothering to answer some of the questions she raises. You can't put these books down when you started them. The Fever series takes you in a headlock, and drags you away to this wonderful Dublin.

Because Ms Moning has created one of the most interesting and terrifyingly beautiful world I've encountered in urban fantasy. There's just something with Irish mythology that I find so fascinating. It combines the supernatural with beauty, yet at the same time with darkness. Ms Moning is a queen in bringing these ancient traditions into the 21th century, weaving their mythical creatures into modern society.

Somehow, these books are just damn catchy. If you haven't tried them yet, you should. Come join the Fever!
