Review, Giveaway and Blog Tour: Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning

What I Thought:

I accidentally found this author one day while searching for my next read on the store bookshelf. I actually started with her Highlander series! (Which I recommend if you haven't read it yet.) Myself, I hadn't read The MacKayla Lane novels. (Which is the technical name...who knew? I always call it the Fever Series?) Anyway, I was delighted to take part in this tour because I figured these books would be awesome.

Darkfever was excellent! Moning can make even the most serious and crazy subject matter funny. There always tends to be a sense of wicked humor hiding in the pages of her stories.

I enjoyed the main character Mac, who was continuously stubborn and determined...but a bubbly Southern gal despite what she's going through. I think Jericho sounds hot...even though he's so stubborn and mysterious. I can't wait to find out more about him!

I will say that there is a ton of X-rated tension in his one. When will we get the stuff!? Book 2 maybe? It's one of those will they or won't they situations which made for some great story and character building IMO.

This story was very much NOT predictable! Excellent! Like I said, I'm so happy to be a part of this tour as I think this will turn out to be a great series for me.

About The Book:

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….
