Fever Series review



The fever series was written by Karen Marie Moning. There are five novels in the supernatural suspense series. They are a continuation of Moning's previous novels, the Highlander series. The fever series is also continued by the Dani O'Malley series. The series has a total of five novels- Darkfever, Bloodfever, Dreamfever, Faefever, and Shadowfever.

These novels are highly entertaining and wicked fun. The first novel was a little slow until the ending, which picked up the pace tremendously. The other four novels, in the series, are all fast paced. I finished the series in five day, one novel per day. I just could not put them down. The novels are intriguing and thought provoking. I was always thinking about what could happen next, and about the questions that the author presents but does not reveal the answer to. These questions include: what is Barrons (love interest), can Mac (main character) trust Barrons, and who killed Mac's sister. Moning continually reveals answers, throughout the series, leading up to the biggest question of who is the ultimate bad guy. Moning does not reveal what Barrons is, but by the end of the series it almost did not seem to matter at all.

I love the development of the characters, their relationships, and the plot. Mac is definitely one of those characters that changes a lot through the course of the series. She went from way out of her league, helpless, and a person that wears a lot of bright colors, to a person that wears a lot of darker colors, that creates the plan to save everyone, and to someone who can fight with the best of them. She is a relatable character, one that is into the supernatural world and into impossible situations. It is interesting how much she changes and I liked reading the development her character made.
 
Barrons is just wow. Barrons is Mac’s love interest throughout the series and they always seem to have a love- hate relationship. I love their differences and the many conversations that they have without saying a word. Barrons is aggressive, smart, handsome, and wicked. I personally grew to love this character, because at first he was just a jerk, and while he continued to be a jerk I found there to be several redeemable qualities.
 
I love this series. It is a wild ride and extraordinary read. I would highly recommend these novels to anyone who has not read the series. Moning wrote a excellent series.
