"MacKayla Lane and Jericho Barrons are back and hotter than ever in Burned, the latest novel in the blockbuster Fever series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning. It's easy to walk away from lies. Power is another thing. MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A gifted sidhe-seer, she's already fought and defeated the deadly Sinsar Dubh--an ancient book of terrible evil--yet its hold on her has never been stronger. When the wall that protected humans from the seductive, insatiable Fae was destroyed on Halloween, long-imprisoned immortals ravaged the planet. Now Dublin is a war zone with factions battling for control. As the city heats up and the ice left by the Hoar Frost King melts, tempers flare, passions run red-hot, and dangerous lines get crossed. Seelie and Unseelie vie for power against nine ancient immortals who have governed Dublin for millennia; a rival band of sidhe-seers invades the city, determined to claim it for their own; Mac's former protege and best friend, Dani "Mega" O'Malley, is now her fierce enemy; and even more urgent, Highland druid Christian MacKeltar has been captured by the Crimson Hag and is being driven deeper into Unseelie madness with each passing day. The only one Mac can depend on is the powerful, dangerous immortal Jericho Barrons, but even their fiery bond is tested by betrayal. It's a world where staying alive is a constant struggle, the line between good and evil is blurred, and every alliance comes at a price. In an epic battle against dark forces, Mac must decide who she can trust, and what her survival is ultimately worth"--
"Burned picks up right where the surprising conclusion of Iced left off, and will feature beloved characters Mac and Dani O'Malley as they embark on another high-octane adventure in the Fever world"--
Happy, but a little frustrated...
From the very beginning there was a big smile on my face.
In the last week I have read the whole Fever series. The first five were re-reads and number six for the first time. This has been one Epic reading experience. I have read changes in the characters personalities and changes in my feelings for these characters.
The start of this book we get back to Mac and Barrons with a great big BANG! Really enjoyed the connection between them and felt like we were going to see great things between them. But it was misleading. There was still the ever present sexual hum that Ms Moning provides in all her books, but it was more tension than connection. This left me a little disappointed. I wanted to see them together as a formidable couple, but it just wasn't to be. Maybe one day...
There was a lot going on which I don't want to give away that kept me riveted from the beginning to the end. We get to know some of the Nine a little more with some classic moments with Lor. Jada was an interesting character and I enjoyed hearing her history and what she went through to get to this stage in her life. Ryodan was his usual egotistical self, but I am warming to him a little. Disappointed to not see Dancer much, loved him in Iced. Glad to see Jo get a backbone.
Very unhappy with the abrupt end.
