“Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.” — MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever. — Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.
What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh -- a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?
From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.
I've never, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever, never ever looked ahead in the book to see if my suspicions were right or not....until this book! (I haven't done it since either)
I don't even read full book descriptions because there is nothing more I hate than spoilers! I don't want any type of detail about what is going to come to pass in the book!
Emotional beyond belief doesn't even begin to describe Shadowfever.
I've cried in many books, I seriously have...I'm kinda a wuss...but I was so tormented by this (hence the reason I had to peak forward).
So many things have to come to pass in order to contain this blasted Dark Book! New alliances are forged, new plans are made, and yet...not.
Oh man, even after the fourth time, this series has be sitting on the edge of my seat! I still find new details that I never noticed in previous readings!
The Fever series it the one series that I ALWAYS refer friends to read! Every single one of them love it just as much as I do!
MacKayla Lane lies naked on the cold stone floor of a church, at the mercy of the erotic Fae master she once swore to kill. Far from home, unable to control her sexual hungers, MacKayla is now fully under the Lord Master’s spell.…In New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning’s stunning new novel, the walls between human and Fae worlds have come crashing down. And as Mac fights for survival on Dublin’s battle-scarred streets, she will embark on the darkest—and most erotically charged—adventure of her life.
He has stolen her past, but MacKayla will never allow her sister’s murderer to take her future.

And the walls come tumbling down!!
Oh man! How amazing was the end of the third book!?!
The fourth book we start up right exactly where we left off and it's just so amazing!
Can we just take a moment and appreciate the sexual beast that is Barrons....Dear KMM....thank you for those wonderfully explicit explanations of that sensual and amazing man.
Dreamfever is the beginning of life after the walls fall. The dark book is still out there and now the human population is a third gone, more Unseelie has come out and is helping in destroying the world.
I'm not going to even touch what happens at the end of this book....I just can't bring myself to even think about it.....
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.

She just keeps getting us sucked in, doesn't she?! Man I love KMM!
The third book it the fever series, Faefever, is just as amazing as the first two!
Mac is learning more and more about herself and even about what her sister had learned before she died.
This book is jammed packed with excitement and sexual tension! The walls between man and Faery are about to fall and many things need to fall into place to make sure it doesn't! I was so sure of what would happen the first time I read this book, and I was so shocked with the twists and turns of the events!
And let's not forget when Mac is caught by the Unseelie Princes'....dun dun duuuun!
I used to think my sister and I were just two nice southern girls who’d get married in a few years and settle down to a quiet life. Then I discovered that Alina and I descend, not from good wholesome southern stock, but from an ancient Celtic bloodline of powerful sidhe-seers, people who can see the Fae. Not only can I see the terrifying otherworldly race, but I can sense the sacred Fae relics that hold the deadliest of their magic.
When my sister was found dead in a trash-filled alley in Dublin, I came over to get answers. Now all I want is revenge. And after everything I’ve learned about myself, I know I have the power to get it….
MacKayla Lane’s ordinary life underwent a complete makeover when she landed on Ireland’s shores and was plunged into a world of deadly sorcery and ancient secrets.
In her fight to stay alive, Mac must find the Sinsar Dubh–a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over both the worlds of the Fae and of Man. Pursued by Fae assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and irresistible men: V’lane, the insatiable Fae who can turn sensual arousal into an obsession for any woman, and the ever-inscrutable Jericho Barrons, a man as alluring as he is mysterious.
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.…
Book 2 in the Fever series and it still is just as amazing as the first book.
For those unfamiliar with the Fae and are reading this series, this book will be even better than the first. We've already established connections, important information has already been provided, and now we can focus on the problems at hand! Finding that darn book!
Mac and Barrons are still working together and are constantly at each others throats, literally!
We have a few hot and steamy moments that you never forget!
Incredible quotes in this book as well! Quotes that are forever stuck in the readers mind. I'm sure most authors aspire to do this, and KMM seems to not even have to try. The way her words fall off the pages and enter your mind is just flawless and amazing!
The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It’s a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I’m Dani O’Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there’s no place I’d rather be.
Dani “Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.
Dani’s ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.
When Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what’s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.
Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced.
ICED is first book in the Dani O'Malley series which is branched off series from the Fever series. Though from my understanding, it will need to be read to continue the Fever series.
Anywho...
Ummmm, HELLO!?! Who doesn't just love this book!? Seriously, this was a fantastic read.
Everyone was all up-in-arms because Dani is only a teenager and we get some obvious vibes from some hotties that they are so interested in the woman she's gonna become!
But hey, seriously, this WOW'd my expectations.
I also can't wait to learn more about Ryodan and even more about his role in Dani's life! So many speculations...so many hints....but I just say we need to wait for the books to come out!
Dani and livin large out on her "own". Though she's been recruited to help Ry-O with finding the reason for sections of Dublin being iced over and killing all living things inside it.
Tempers ride, hormones rage, feelings are swept up left and right! ICED seriously has it all. No let down from this serious Fever series fan!
MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks…until something extraordinary happens.
When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’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….As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane–an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book–because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands….
Without a doubt, one of my all time favorite series! I'm currently re-reading the books for the fourth time because I can never get enough!
MacKayla Lane, aka Mac, journeys over to Dublin to hunt down answers about her sisters murder hoping to find the killer and have her revenge. She discovers things about herself and city around her that change her life forever.
Barrons...oh, Jericho Barrons. Not much needs to be explained about this man...this exotic, sexy, damn hottness of a man. Just...daaaaaamn. He is by far the most intense and amazing main characters I've ever read. EVER. Like seriously, ever.
Anyway...
Barrons provides Mac protection from all the things that go bump in the night and educating her as to what she is in return for helping in the search for the Dark Book. Tensions run high, not just sexual tension either, when these two try to work together for the common goal...to get the Dark Book!
