Over the course of the series, Mac toughens up and becomes quite the kick-ass heroine.Īll four books are equally enthralling. More than one man (or creature) plays a significant (albeit mysterious) role in her life. (I am now the proud owner of a Barron’s Books and Baubles mug).Īt the center of the series is Mac (short for Mackayla), a modern Southern belle, who doesn’t take life too seriously until she discovers a vast world she had no idea existed and learns that she plays an important role in that world as a sidhe-seer. I can see why there are so many Fever discussion groups out there and why this series supports such a large merchandising offshoot over at Moning’s Web site. As I finished each book, the same recurring thought resounded in my mind, “I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait a year!”įortunately one of our SOA regulars, Tstbren, was around for some much needed discussion time and understood my need to speculate about that which I had just read. Sixteen days later, I had not only listened to Darkfever, but also Bloodfever, Faefever, and Dreamfever! I definitely had the fever which was, without doubt, due to Moning’s talent in writing cliffhanger endings.
I started listening to Darkfever on November 1st.
I planned to dip my toe in this fantasy series with no promised HEA and say I’d done so and move on. I followed that line of advice although I didn’t really see myself listening beyond Darkfever. I’d been advised to read Darkfever, the first in the Fever series, toward the end of 2010 since the fifth and final in the series was scheduled for release around the first of 2011. There is no absolute guarantee I’ll have one in the end nor do I know which hero would be featured in such (although I definitely have an opinion). Later I discovered yet another challenge (the biggest of all) and it has to do with that classic Happily Ever After I long for. I chose Karen Marie Moning’s Darkfever knowing that it would also challenge me as a series of unending stories with no HEAs nicely tying up each book’s conclusion. The last category in My Unofficial Personal Listening Challenge for 2010 was Fantasy – another genre I tended to avoid.
