By: Karen Marie Moning

Narrated by: Joyce Bean

Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

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 world 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.

Critic reviews

"Moning's delectable Mac is breathlessly appealing, and the wild perils she must endure are peppered with endless conundrums. The results are addictively dark, erotic and even shocking." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Spiced with a subtle yet delightfully sharp sense of humor...delectably dark and sexy." ( Chicago Tribune)

Great Second Book In This Series

Being able to listen to the first 4 books in the Dream series one right after another increased my enjoyment of them immensely. I really liked the glimpse of the McKelter's, short as it was, too. I always enjoy Joyce Bean's narration of books, she does an excellent job with all I've heard her do.

Things keep getting more complicated

I am enjoying listening to this series and find that I can keep up with the action even better. This was an author I had never read before but I continue to be happy that I was introduced to her because this keeps getting better. I find all the characters interesting and more than engrossing. These are people I could see myself around, even if they do tend to find danger at every turn. The descriptions of the world that Mac has found herself in and the types of people she meets continue to draw me in.

MacKayla Lane continues to live with Barrons and seek revenge for the death of her sister. She still has not come to the understanding that her life as it was no longer exists and this is going to be that rude awakening she needs. Jericho Barrons has made a life for Mac easier even if she does not see it. The fact that you cannot put your finger on what he is only added to his mystic as he continues to save MacKayla from herself.

New players continue to enter the game with V'Lane making himself more available to Mac. Rowena finally acknowledges Mac as more than just a stupid girl who could get them all killed, but what does she want from silly American? Can Mac trust any of these people since they all seem to want to use her in one way or the other?

I will certainly be reading the next book to see what happens next. While I like Mac most of the time sometimes she seems like a total airhead with her Southern manners and ideas about how things should be. Then she will do something totally badass and I am sure we could hang. As for Barrons, I wouldn't kick him out bed. This is a series that is starting pretty slowly but seems to be moving steadily forward, and it draws me in completely when I start to listen.

Outstanding

For a series that I wasn't sure about in the beginning, I am really hooked now. This is becoming one of my favorite top best series! The author writes characters really well and I love that she doesn't drag out suspense or annoying plots where everyone turns on the main character, or the usual petty mean women. Just an excellent story with great characters

Excellent story telling

I love this series! I recommend it to anyone who likes this type of books

Eating the Rhino’s

As I’ve said before this is a wonderful story. Really makes me want to travel to Ireland. But when Mac has to eat some of the Rhino. . . What an adventure!

Kept me interested

This is a simple book. If you're looking for profound - look elsewhere. It was entertaining and helped my driving time pass - and for that it earned 4 stars. The end had me downloading the next book immediately!

Book 2 is great

Great addition to the series. Couldnt stop listening to it. Joyce Bean does a great job with the different character voices. Wish she was around for books 4 & 5

GIVE ME MORE MAC & BARRONS PLEASE!

This book picks up nicely from the first no wondering where the story began from the first, all time was accounted for which for my wondering mind was a relief. I enjoyed this book more than the first which is saying a ton. I love this series and so I am partial. Here is the deal if the first book wasn't your thing, this won't be either so don't buy it. Save the monies and try something else. If you liked the book and are curious about what happens next, buy it you will enjoy it.

Awesome book, crappy narrator

Would you listen to Bloodfever again? Why?

Yes, because I love the story!

What other book might you compare Bloodfever to and why?

None, its very best

Would you be willing to try another one of Joyce Bean’s performances?

Never! She doesnt do a very good job at different mens voices they all sound the same and it sounds very fake. Her accents were ok but still not to the point I could get past hearing them sounded natural.. It distracted me from the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I like to spread it over a couple days

Any additional comments?

For how many mens voices are in this story they would have been smart to have a man narrate this book. or a woman / man combo.. since its from a womans perspective.

addictive

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

absolutely in fact I have my sister and me both love this series I'm trying to get my son to read it cuz he's Twilight fan but I think he would really like this one as well only because it's got such a unique story line

What did you like best about this story?

I love the banter between Mac and barons and Vlane

What does Joyce Bean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I've read the book and what you get through the audio version is almost like a movie version of your favorite book only they don't cut out any of the good stuff

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

absolutely unfortunately I work for a living but every time I had a lunch break I'd be in my car listening to my book

Any additional comments?

I recommend getting all of them and I will definitely be listening to them again
