When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death—a cryptic message on MacKayla Lane’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.
My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
I’m not used to reading a book like Darkfever, but I’m glad I listened to some of my book reading buddies. I finally made time to start reading the series, and I’m super happy I did. First off let me say, what the heck is BARRONS?!! That man/thing has to be something special in this series otherwise why is he so strong, smart and sexy. Damn! I’m curious to find out what he is.
I love MacKayla. She has become one of my favorite female characters. I look forward to finding out how she turns up in the next books. For a girl who lost her sister, she is one determined sister to find out who murdered her and also find out the mysteries in Ireland about the Fairies.
I love Karen Marie Moning’s writing style and how she betrays Seelies and Unseelies. It’s nothing like the other fairy stories I’ve read, except maybe a little bit more intense then Wicked Lovely.
I also love the character V’Lane. He sounds Yummy! Who wouldn’t want a Fairy to do that to you? =) I look forward to getting to know him better also.
I won’t get into the storyline since the description pretty much says it all.
All I know is I look forward to reading the next book. I thank my reading buddies again for suggesting this series. =)
Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
