From the Publisher:
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.
My Review:
Bloodfever by Karen Marie Moning is the second in her MacKayla Lane series and is fast paced from beginning to end. One thing I must point out, as it helped me tremendously, would be the glossary Moning includes at the back of the book with definitions and pronunciations, since I am quite new to this genre I would have been lost without the reference. Bloodfever is filled with more action and adventure than the first book, which helped the storyline move at a faster clip and having a better grasp of the Fae, I was quite taken in with the storyline. I honestly would never have thought I would ever care for this genre, but Moning has a wonderful way with words and tells a brilliant story with vivid characters. More characters are introduced in this novel, the storyline is examined more in depth, and questions were answered yet many more were raised as the story went on. Jericho Barrons is still marvelously dark and mysterious and balances out Mac’s character. Mac is still babbling too much and unfortunately she is still going on about all things pink, however she is growing as a character and becoming stronger and more confident, which I hope will mean less babbling and less pink in book three, Faefever. All told, I found myself truly enjoying Bloodfever and look forward to reading book three, Faefever and sharing my thoughts with my readers. If, like me, you are on the fence about this genre, give Moning’s series a go, she truly is a gifted storyteller and she makes the characters come to life. I would definitely recommend Bloodfever to my readers.
