Faefever

Fever, Book 3

By: Karen Marie Moning

Narrated by: Joyce Bean

Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

Karen Marie Moning's "Fever" series is a coast-to-coast hit! The first two titles in this national best-selling series, Darkfever and Bloodfever, appeared on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly best-seller lists.

In Faefever, Karen Marie Moning returns to the shadowy Dublin Otherworld in an undeniably sexy novel her fans are feverish for.

Changed by the choices she made in order to survive, Mac no longer is the naïve, idealistic, and glamorous girl newly arrived in Dublin. Now, on a quest to find her sister's killer, she is a major player in a deadly game, but with one great advantage: she knows how to find the one thing Fae and human alike are willing to kill for - the Sinsar Dubh, an ancient book of magic so dark it corrupts anyone who touches it.

What Mac soon discovers, however, is worse than she had imagined. Surrounded by treachery, her enemies indistinguishable from her allies, she can be certain of only one thing - as All Hallows' Eve approaches, her time is running out.

Awesome series

love this series, love the growth of the main character, she started out shallow and unlikable, but she's maturing into a likable kick butt woman. love the interaction between her and Barron's. Great Series. good narration too.

Faefever

Loved the book - anything my KMM is wonderful - but sorry - did not like the narration. Find a woman who does a better male voice - she made the main male sound like an old witch....

Can’t stop reading

I love this series. Each time I start a new book in this series I am wonder at first if it will be as good as the last. Every time I am let down. Each book is as good as the last! If not better.

Mac grows wiser and stronger to face what’s coming

Best enjoyed if you’ve read Darkfever and Bloodfever in the series first.
*Spoiler Alert*
Mac continues to grow in strength and leaves her rainbows farther behind. She has found out how the Sinsar Dubh is getting around and is careful what she shares with Barrons and V’lane. Why not, since they’ve been withholding info from her?
When Inspector Jayne finds out about the maps, Mac decides to feed him Unseelie to protect him and have him provide info on the Sinsar Dubh’s movements.
Rowena has figured out MacKayla is becoming a central figure and tries to subjugate her by recruiting her through sisterhood and, when she doesn’t get immediate results, through intimidation. Mac connects with some of the Sidhe-seers anyway with Dani as intermediary.
Mac further connects with Christian MacKeltar and gets Barrons to cooperate with the Druids for the Samhain ceremony to keep the walls up between the Faery and Human realms.
Thank goodness for the humor of Barrons teaching Mac about The Voice, V’lane sifting Mac to sunshine, and her creation of the MacHalo before the fear and chaos of the walls falling and Mac’s lowest point.

Kudos to Moning for offsetting this in herAuthor’s Note to the listener, where Moning reminds us she foreshadowed this in Bloodfever where she had Mac write in her journal “Although it may not seem like it, this isn’t a story about darkness, it’s about light. Khalil Gibran says “Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.” If you’ve never tasted bitterness, sweet is just another pleasant flavor on your tongue. One day I’m going to hold a lot of joy.”

This is the last book in the series narrated by Joyce Bean who has done a stellar job voicing MacKayla Lane. The changeover fits with the focus of the next two books on both Jericho and Mac.

Ugh...the ending. LOL Left me hanging, it did. Now I can't wait for DREAMFEVER. It took a few tries to get into this series after the Highlander books. But once I did, I was hooked!!!!! Wonderful series. You really have to listen to them. No skipping, or blowing over. You'll never know when you'll miss a really important point. :-)

love this book

all I can say is continue just like me I love this book I'm so addictived

don't let the ending turn you off!

the first time I read this book I freaked out. I'm going to try not to leave any more spoilers just don't let the end of this book keep you from reading the rest. this is my favorite series my favorite author my favorite fantasy giveaway!

Read alot, but this series knocked my socks off!

Any additional comments?

I have to say that the Fever (MacKayla Lane) book series is in my top 10 series of all time! I enjoy seeing the complexity of a single character grow. It felt like I was the 'fly on the wall' to some pretty intimate life experiences that were devastating, exciting, heart-renching, glorious, and ultimately victorious. Would highly recommend taking this journey.

The best book of the 5 in the series

I strongly disliked the first book but continued anyway as it was part of our book club. I thoroughly enjoyed Faefever and Karen Marie Moning finally hit her stride as did the narrator Joyce Bean (I didn't care for Natalie Ross in the latter 2 books). I listened at 2x the speed as I couldn't bear to wait to see what would happen next, this book is deliciously entertaining. Joyce Royce does a wonderful job narrating all the different voices.

Suspenseful, dark, compelling...

I like this series. It's suspenseful, a good story with lots of intrigue. Definitely some steamy parts. I gave the story 4 stars only because my personal preference at the moment is for something with a bit more humor in the mix and because I have trouble relating to the heroine, who I view as sort of remarkably brave, but lucky, not smart. Then again, pretty hard to be smart given what she has to work with and what she's up against. One more thing, in spite of the fact that I find some of the villains, creatures and events to be a little over the top, whenever I listen, I'm immediately sucked into that blissful suspension of disbelief that a good writer makes so easy.
