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.…

 Wait September 18, 2008

My best advice on this one is to wait for the last two books in the series. I am upset and alot unhappy with where this one left us. I don't need to have to wait another long period of time to find out if she gets saved. We know she will be saved but I AM TIRED OF BOOKS THAT LEAVE YOU HANGING!!!!!!! This is not just a bad place to leave you, it is a horrible place.
Buy at your own risk, but I would wait.
 Not sure if it was worth it September 17, 2008

do you remember watching the second matrix movie and when it ended feeling a little robbed? That the movie was just wasting time until you got to the last movie? Well that is the feeling you get when you finish this book. Nothing really happens in this book.
Yeah there is some exciting action. Yeah the sexual tension between Mac, Jericho and Vlane oozes from the pages. You learn some more interesting things about relics, the book, etc but NOTHING happens. The story doesn't progress beyond what has already happened.
Don't get me wrong I loved the first two books and I enjoyed most of the antics of this book until I started getting close to the end and I was like wait nothing has happened there should be more and BOOM it ends. I think that every book in series should be able to stand alone and should offer something of value, of individual merit to the series, other to kill time for the characters in the book. I think FaeFever was just killing time in order to get Mac to the next book.
If you had never read the first two books I don't think you could jump into this book and really get what was going on, I recommend reading the first two books before reading this but really I agree with another poster who says wait for the whole series to be done so you can read it all in one punch and not be frustrated like me.
Unnecessary September 17, 2008

Hopefully, you have read the first two books in this series. If not, you won't be able to understand anything about this one. This third book cannot stand alone.
Taking up where Bloodfever left off, Mac (MacKayla)is still trying to figure out how to get her hands on the book of the Unseelie, the Sinsar Dubh. Mac believes the book is the key to the world of the Sidhe, and the ultimate downfall of the Lord Master, her sister's killer. Mac is still living in the bookstore and still having a love/hate relationship with Jericho Barrons. Mac is still communicating with her sidhe-seer sisters and trying to find her place among them. In fact, Mac is still doing everything Mac did in book two. I considered this eagerly awaited book to be totally unnecessary. The only two significant things that happen in the book is what Mac does to Inspector Jayne, which by the way, was pretty slick and a couple of scenes with Barrons. By the way, the scene where Jericho uses the Voice on Mac in order to find out what she knows completely and totally turned me against him. By the end of the book, Moning still had not redeemed him in my mind. Other than a shift in both of those relationships, the book pretty much revealed nothing, said nothing and did nothing. Oh, sure there were some good action scenes and a few new twists were introduced, but they were nothing that couldn't have been done at the end of 2 or the beginning of 4, if you catch my drift. I will buy the next two books in the series. After all, I will need to find out how this ends, but I must say I was very disappointed in the last quarter of this book, and in a series, every book should have some meat in it - not just the parsley trimmings.
 Excellent addition to an excellent series! September 17, 2008

Oh, this one is hard to review without giving away too many spoilers. Mac's story proceeds in a very satisfactory way. The location of the book that was the cliffhanger in the last book is quickly resolved in the first few chapters of this one, in an excellent plot twist.
The men in Mac's life continue to be intriguing. V'Lane tones down his intimidation, and woos Mac with flowers that never die and chocolate that doesn't make you fat. Does he really think Mac is dumb enough to fall for that? Jericho Barrons, on the other hand, is becoming more brutal and enigmatic. Who is that guy? There are some good hints, but he remains mysterious. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Does he care about Mac at all, or is he just using her? Even Mac isn't sure. Mac also gets a date with Christian MacKeltar, who is definitely a good guy, and hunky besides, but will good intentions be enough to fight the unseely hoards?
Mac has to sort all this out, along a witchy clan of Sidhe-seers, a renegade expelled fae, various orbs and oops, and a fast-approaching deadline. What a story!
The best part is, KMM manages to weave her story of magic and mayhem in a compelling and consistent way. The details of the fae are revealed without bogging down the story or slowing down the action. And her heroine is beautifully portrayed. Mac grows and changes with the story, but she retains her essential Mac-ness.
The ending was pretty dark, and another cliffhanger, which is fine with me. I can't wait for the next installment of this spellbinding series!
Just ... meh September 16, 2008

This book fell flat for me. I loved the first two books (Darkfever and Bloodfever), and re-read them several times. I knew I was in trouble when I finished Part One of Faefever and really didn't want to continue. It's not that the book is "dark" - I knew that going in. It just never grabbed me the way the first two books did.
From the beginning, I've thought this is a series that should have been a single book. A very long book, to be sure, but just one volume. Faefever has not changed my mind.
I recommend that anyone who has NOT fallen prey to "The Fever" wait until all five books are published, then get to your local public library and borrow the set.
