Product Description

The New York Times bestselling author of Darkfever and Bloodfever returns to Dublin’s Fae-infested shores in a bold, sensual new novel. Hurtling us into a realm of seduction and shadows, Karen Marie Moning tells the enthralling tale of a woman who explores the limits of her mysterious powers as she enters a world of ancient sorcery—and confronts an enemy more insidious than she could ever have imagined.

He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too. When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.

Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.

As All Hallows’ Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.…

From Publishers Weekly
Urban Celtic fantasy slides down a dark, depressing slope in bestseller Moning's third Fever thriller (after Bloodfever), centered on a hunt for the Sinsar Dubh, a black magic book more than a million years old. As All Hallow's Eve in Dublin approaches, the walls between the human world and Faery verge on collapse. Can former Georgia peach MacKayla Mac Lane prevent a total invasion of the Unseelie Court? Originally intent on avenging her sister Alina's murder committed by Unseelie Lord Master, Mac's now a power-player in the war between the Seelie (good Fae) and Unseelie (bad Fae), after learning she's a Celtic sidhe-seeker who can sniff out OOPS (Objects of Power). Meanwhile, the attractive V'Lane, a death-by-sex Fae, wants Mac's help in securing the Sinsar Dubh for his Seelie queen, Aoibheal. At the end, erotic shocks await Mac in Dublin's vast Dark Zone, setting up feverish—if wary—expectations for the next installment. (Sept.)

From School Library Journal
The third installment in Moning's popular Fever series (Darkfever; Bloodfever) finds sidhe-seer MacKayla Lane continuing to adjust to her powers and her new life in Dublin. Though she now knows who killed her sister Alina, she's no closer to the vengeance she craves, and the information she collects about the fae and their relics leads to further questions. Unsure of whom she can trust, Mac further develops her sidhe-seeing skills, taking some unexpected detours into darker territory along the way. Secondary characters from the earlier novels, including sidhe-seer Rowena and "death-by-sex" fae V'Lane, are prominently featured, and there's plenty of action and sexual tension keeping the battle between good and evil moving forward. An abrupt cliff-hanger ending and a number of unresolved plot points ensure that the series will continue. This series is a good bet for readers of Nora Roberts's paranormal-tinged titles, who will appreciate Mac's tough yet tender character. Recommended for all public libraries.

Customer Reviews

Impatient!
I thought the first couple of chapters were a little slow, but the rest of the book made up for it. Honestly, the only thing upsetting about this series is the endings to each of the Fever Series. It always ends when you're just starting to get somewhere. It's a little frustrating to have to wait for each new series. That's a year per book which means I won't be able to see the end of Mac's story for another two years!! While I know this keeps readers at the edge of their seats, it's a lot to ask of a reader to get excited about a story and then wait for the next installment. Maybe if there was only one more book to Mac's story then I wouldn't complain so much, but Moning has two more in the Fever Series. It's not like Harry Potter where each book had a complete ending. Moning's Fever Series stops incompletely because the story isn't finished. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

What Happened?!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I am mourning the passing of a good friend. My travelling roommate turned me on to Moning about 3 years ago. I fell in love and read all the books that she had written. I anxiously awaited each new novel and was more impressed and drawn in to her stories and the ever expanding plot line that moved from book to book. It seemed to be building to this series. I loved Darkfever. I ended Bloodfever with the anticipation of a great climax in Faefever. I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I recently heard that the series will be 5 books long. BIG MISTAKE. From the run of the story from the first to second book, the story line was obviously meant to be concluded in the third. All the building to a Mac/Barrons and MacKelter saving the world just barely and Mac and ??? finally having mind blowing sex - I feel like I was left without an literary orgasm. The minute there was the hint of the until-next-year-when-we-can-try-again, I knew it was downhill from there. Karen - you should have kept to your original 3 book series then spun off another series from some little thing left dangling at the end. After each and every book, I couldn't wait to get on to the next one, mentally noting the information I might need from one book to the next. Especially when we got to the Kiss, Dark, Immortal and Spell, where your talent of serial writting without making the books only readible only in order was exceptional. I am sorry to say that I will be waiting until I read many reviews about the next instalment instead of pre-ordering as I have done in the past.

All I was expecting and more!
All that I have become accustomed to expect from a KMM Fever book! Intriguing, shocking, thought provoking and being left with the desire to know what happens next.

Its main focus is Mac finding out more about who she is and becoming stronger within herself so she is able to face what is still to come, who she can trust, and more about some of the key players in this thrilling series.

As usual sets as many questions as it answers and gives you as much to think about at the end as the previous two have!
