Goodreads summary:
I used to think my sister and I were just two nice southern girls who'd get married in a few years and settle down to a quiet life. Then I discovered that Alina and I descend, not from good wholesome southern stock, but from an ancient Celtic bloodline of powerful sidhe-seers, people who can see the Fae. Not only can I see the terrifying otherworldly race, but I can sense the sacred Fae relics that hold the deadliest of their magic.
When my sister was found dead in a trash-filled alley in Dublin, I came over to get answers. Now all I want is revenge. And after everything I've learned about myself, I know I have the power to get it....
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 worlds 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....
My Review:
This book is just plain awesome. Enough said, but I'll say more anyways. Bloodfever is the second in the fever series (The first is Darkfever that I also reviewed). Mac is faced with new and old adversaries in this book and she totally rocks! Mac is probably one of the best heroines that I have followed in a book. Karen Marie Moning did a wonderful job of making Mac a believable character. She wasn't infallible or perfect at what she does. I think her character make-up is wondermous (although I don't care much for bright pink :P)! (Yes Wondermous is my new made up word so there). One thing that I am dieing to know is What the HELL is Jericho Barrons!!! I'm in the middle of the third book and i still don't know but I do have a prospective that I do not feel like sharing just in case. This book is the shiz and I recommend it to any ADULTS out there who like action and adventure (with a little romance thrown into the fold).
P.S. Sorry it's taking me so long to post but I started a new job and it sucks, so forgive me please!!
Great review as always! I think the question that many want to know is exactly as you have said... what the hell is he? Answer... only KMM knows. I know your theory and I am dying to know if you are right. Can't wait to see what you think of the rest of the series.
