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. . . .

I struggled to finish this one and almost put it down, except I really wanted to know how it ended and if Mac would find out who killed her sister. Mac (I hate the name by the way) was really annoying. Some of her inner monologue was unbearable...she kept claiming she wasn't a shallow Barbie, but she really kind of was. This went on for throughout the entire book! Also, the scenes where she was stripping her clothes off uncontrollably in public were completely ridiculous. Barrons was an interesting character. I couldn't tell if he was good or bad or what his deal was. Honestly, the only things that kept me going were Barrons and my curiosity about what was going to happen. I'm debating on whether the continue the series but some interesting reveals at the end are tempting me to read the next one.
