Book Reviews of Darkfever (Fae)
Book Review: just okay...
Summary: 3 Stars
After blessing the fates for finding Moning's Highlander Series, I avoided reading this series b/c of the 31/2 star rating-- I didn't want to be disappointed in an author I've learned to love.
After reading the first two books (I got them simultaneously after reading other frustrated readers' reviews at the cliffhangers or inaction or growth of characters and relationships), I must be honest and say that, as of yet, this series doesn't hold a candle to the Highlander Series. But what the reader should take into consideration is that fact that each Highlander book was pretty much the beginning and conclusion to the assigned heroine and hero; this Fever Series (which I'm hearing is supposed to be five books) features the same heroine throughout the entire thing. So you have to read the books like episodes; and expect cliffhangers.
While eloquently written in typical Moning fashion; I did, however, find myself skipping throughout extra, in-depth details throughout both books. While she obviously thoroughly researched for this book, which I appreciated, it was a bit much in sections.
I warn all Moning fans NOT to listen to the audio of these books first. I made the sad attempt; and was horrified to hear the 22 yr old heroine sounding like a 60 yr. old southern grandma (almost the equivalence of the "Oracle" from the "Matrix"). But the absolute worst was the male character. Personally I find it quite difficult to imagine a sexy male character/hero when the vocalist made him sound like Bilbo Baggins. I got to disc 3, and couldn't listen anymore. It says something about how much I respect this author that I even picked up the books after listening to the horrific audio.
I have faith in Moning, however, that this series as whole will probably be great; but I agree with other readers that maybe I should've waited until the entire series was finished before starting it.
Summary of Darkfever (Fae)
MacKayla Lane?s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she?s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks?until something extraordinary happens.When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death?a cryptic message on Mac?s cell phone?Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister?s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed?a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae?.
As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister?s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane?an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women?closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac?s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book?because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands?.
