Review of Faefever – Book Three - by Jennifer J. (check out our reviews of Darkfever and Bloodfever)
After MacKayla Lane sees her employer and educator-in-all-things-Fae Jericho Barrons step through a Fae Hallow covered in blood and carrying a dead woman, she decides he absolutely cannot be trusted. Against Jericho’s desires, MacKayla flirts with the idea of teaming up with two very unlikely alliances: Detective Jayne, who has been trailing her since his brother-in-law, the Detective who had been assigned Alina’s murder case was found dead clutching a piece of paper with MacKayla’s name on it; and V’lane, the Fae prince who offers her Alina back if she will help him get his hands on the Sinshar Dubh, a Fae Hallow written by the Seelie King himself.
As Halloween draws near, ancient rituals must be performed to keep the thin wall between Faery and the human world from crashing down. For just this night, enemies who are fighting for the same cause must set aside their differences and work together. But the Fae who have been taking over Dublin have their own plans, and MacKayla and her friends might be too late to stop them. Who will be left standing the day after Samhain?
[amazonify]0440244390[/amazonify]I have been hooked on this series since reading Darkfever, the first book in Karen Marie Moning’s Fae series, and Faefever was by far the most addictive in the series thus far. MacKayla has come a long way since the first book; she has become hardened, independent, and cunning. There is nothing new revealed about Jericho except for a few tiny pieces of information. MacKayla puts him through a few small tests to try and determine who–or what–he is. I find these scenes lightly humorous, and a welcome insertion between all the moments of pure chaos. I still don’t know what Jericho is, but I think now I have a pretty good guess and I’m just waiting for the big reveal.
Faefever has tested MacKayla in all sorts of ways: strength, courage, loyalty, and human desires. I was in shock by the last page. Karen Marie Moning has a definite end goal in sight for this story, and I am just in awe at the choices she made as an author. This series just keeps getting better and better!
Check back for our review of the final MacKayla Lane novel, Dreamfever, coming soon!

i read the entire series in a week my co worker put me on n i was hooked within the first few pages. and i am sooooo not into the whole faerie thing but oommggg this series was awesome. kept me on my toes thruout the whole thing. i never knew what was goin to happen . the only downside of this series is that now that i have completed it i cant find anything as ridiculously good……no book has measured up to the fever series thus far n now i find myself googling unseelie and seelie based books lolol im hooked
I read DARKFEVER in one sitting overnight. The library where I worked wasn’t going to get it and the little library where my sister works had it in when we went up for a visit. I have enjoyed her Highlander books and couldn’t wait to read this series. I haven’t read any more of the series. I read the first one too fast and it needs a reread. I also decided that I needed to read this whole series together, so have been waiting for the finale to come out. Now I need the time to dig into these books. It is dark, frightening, and nothing is what it seems. What more could we want for cold winter evenings.
Totally NOT my kind of book, but this line from the review had me chuckling out loud:
“After MacKayla Lane sees her employer and educator-in-all-things-Fae Jericho Barrons step through a Fae Hallow covered in blood and carrying a dead woman, she decides he absolutely cannot be trusted.”
I have also heard a lot of great things about this series and, while it really isn’t my sort of thing, this would be PERFECT for one of my cousins. And, being that it is a series, I could grab all the books already out for him and give him one big booky gift for Christmas! Thanks for the review!
I have heard so many great things about her books. I love the cover.
