I have read this book several times after fist purchasing it in paperback. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to add it to my permanent personal library, along with each of the books in Karen Marie Moning's Fever Series. This way, I can re-read each book just before the latest installment in the series is released. Definitely one of the best of the fantasy-style stories I have ever read. This book is chock-full of great characters, beginning with Mac, the heroine, through Barrons, the hero or villain?, among many other fully-fleshed characters. The line between reality and "faery" has never been thinner! Great read on a rainy day, busy day, dull day, or any other!Show Less

I read the first book and loved it. This book had so little going on that I had to check to make sure who the author was. Yeah, it was Karen. What in the world happened? Too much sun in Florida? To say I was disappointed is putting it mildly. I bought the 3rd book and KMM is definitely on my don't buy list. She started to sink with this volume and I will not be recommending this series to anyone. I am so disappointed that I won't buy another hard back copy of her books. I'm on a limited budget now and she is on my Do-Not-Buy list. This book was slow, the characters were tedious and for all the action? Sheesh, she could have put it in 2 pages. I don't mind a series to tell a story. But I do mind when an author wastes my time on her ego and a bunch of words that should have been caught by an editor. My recommendation - muck out a barn instead of reading this book and the 3rd book of this series. It will be a lot more exciting and a lot more interesting. I read constantly. But, it took forever to get through this book. And I couldn't believe that I wasted anytime on her. She has lost her touch in this bookShow Less

Is the eBook abridged ?
I noticed the trade paperback is listed at 368 pages. The ebook has 243. The ebook has transition problems in the flow of the story - there seem to be missing passages. I find it unlikely that a change of font can account for a pagination difference of over 120 pages. Has anyone else noticed this? Adds for the ebook say nothing about it being abridged. If the ebook has been abridged, then the lower price is not really such a good deal.

Better than the first!
I enjoyed the second book ten times better than the first. The thoughts were more complete and the story seemed better developed. I am glad I kept with reading the series. I am looking forward to the third book now!

Love it!
This is the 2nd book in the Fever Series and it is great! It picks up right where Darkfever left off, and it just gets better from there!

The second Fever paranormal thriller is a dark tale
In Dublin the barriers that separate the realms of mankind and Faery is collapsing. Twenty-two years old MacKayla Lane left her native Georgia when her sister Alina was murdered in a Dublin alley (see DARK FEVER). What she learned has nuked her southern existence as she finds out she (and Alina) contain the DNA of ancient Celtic sidhe-seers who fight the Fae. Now she seeks vengeance against those otherworldly abominations that killed her sibling.--------------- Mac¿s objective is to kill the dark Lord Master, but needs the black magic tome, Sinsar Dubh. She distrusts her ally ancient books and other antiquities vendor Jericho Barrons, but has no choice if she is to prevent the Lord Master from totally destroying the barrier.----------- The second Fever paranormal thriller is a dark tale told mostly by the heroine, who paints a scary deadly Dublin otherworld. Mac is learning on the job, as she remains focused on her avenging mission although the mysterious Barrons is quite a distracter even as she wonders whose side he is on. The enemy Lord Master seems so much more powerful than our tyro champion however, fans will root for Mac who knows she better become proficient rather quickly or she will join her sister on the other side of the Moning mythological pantheon.

Bloody Fabulous!
After getting book 1 for free from ebooks I was hooked. So captivating you won't be able to put the book down finding when you do its 2 am. Moning weaves a fabulous plot of a naive girl who starts to change into a strong woman. Not to mention the men that enter Mac's life - trying to decifer if they are trustworthy or not. Secrets, intrigue, ancient myths and legends, throw in those mysterious men and the Fae Prince what more can you ask for. Leaves you just dying to find out where Moning will lead you to the final destination and outcome. Don't pass this Series up its fantastic you won't be disappointed.

Really Really good and addicting
This series is very addictive! I loved all the books, because they kept me on my toes. Now I am waiting for the last book to come out in December. Just beware though, Karen is known for her cliff hangers. It will make you want to pull out your hair!

A series that just won't let you go.
A different twist in reading than my usual choice. Found this series to be one that I cannot put down as the author leaves you hanging at the end of each book. Although the storyline is a bit on the bizzare and unrealistic side I really loved reading this series of stories. Ms. Moning is definitely a talented writer because you are left wanting more.

Better than the first
I'm glad that I continued reading this series cause I was really turned off by the first one. I feel the charater has grown a little balls in this one and now I really enjoyed it. I will say this though she left it on a cliff hanger and I always hate that.

***Another fantastic book from KMM****
Karen Marie Moning style of writing is wonderfully unique. I couldn't put it down. The characters are alive and vivid, you can't help but love a hero and hate a villian. Can't wait to start the next Fever Series book (FAEFEVER).

I really enjoy reading Karen Marie Monings Fever series books. This book is enthralling. Anyone wanting to escape the daily grind with a promise of mystery, dark adventure & some promise of longing will enjoy reading this book.

Great Series
An awesome series (and book) full of hilarious commentary and romantic tension in the midst of chilling, supernatural circumstances. This is a darker setting than I expected, but I could NOT put the books down. Moning definitely sucks the reader into the storyline.The only complaint is that once you finish the last book, you have to wait for the next to learn what happens ! They all definitely end with cliff-hangers! If you haven't read the first book in the series, you should definitely start there. However, you can (like I did) read this one first...but you miss out on the plot and character development started in book 1 (darkfever).

Running a High Fever
So okay, cheesy headline, but OMG!! The only thing I hated about this book was I had to wait almost a year to find out what happened next. Karen Marie Moning is doing a tremendous job slowly turning her rainbow Mac into a delicious dark cloud. More characters are introduced along with more questions. Raise your hands if you think it's Jericho under the garage making the ground shake with his howling. Dude, what is he?!?!? I need to know!! Obviously, I'm completely-head over heels-want to devour any information I can attain-in love with this series. I really want to hop on a plane, head to Dublin, post haste, and join the fight with Mac. There aren't enough stars in the world to give this book (and the entire series) a high enough rating. And, Karen, if you let them make a movie out of this, I have only one recommendation...don't mess it up. No pressure or anything, I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you.

Amazing
I am finding some of the other reviews for this book a bit appalling. Perhaps they should read what KMM herself has to say about the progression of the series. If you're looking for her old highlanders in these books, you aren't going to find them. This is an all NEW type of series, and people need to get into the frame of mind for it and not expect it to be what it's not. I started the series with an open mind, and I have NOT been disappointed AT ALL. It's amazing, engrossing, and fascinating. I could hardly tear myself away from reading this second book!!! I have been on the edge of my seat and I am in this series for the long haul. I am eagerly waiting to see what is going to happen next. I would really encourage people to read it and enjoy it for what it is -- not a romance novel.

These two books were great. I only hope that she releases the other three a lot faster than the first two.

It gets better ...
DarkFever established the dark world of the Fae in Ireland, and Mac searches out her sister's murderer only to stumble on this other world that is encroaching into this one. She is aided by the irascible Jericho Barrons. They hate each other. In this the second book, they're working more closely together, and, yes, they still hate each other. And yet ... I'm willing to wait for the payoff in this, and applaud Ms. Moning's wisdom in allowing the relationship to progress at a 'realistic' pace, given the complex and dangerous situations the two main characters must face. I'd characterize this book as being very like a thriller. And even though Mac is young, she is maturing before our very eyes in a believable way. She's also funny, which serves as a good foil to Barrons' darkness. I'll be waiting for book number 3.
