Faefever (Fever #3) by Karen Marie Moning

Blurb:
'He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too'.When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now MacKayla knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.

Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince of lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul. 

As All Hallows’ Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.…

I always have this funny feeling in my stomach when I read this book.

I even had it when I read it the first time. It was my 4th now.
Still - same hollow, sinking feeling.
Those who read this book will understand why.

From the start I hated Mac. Maybe hate is to strong a word for it, but I disliked her greatly.
She was spoiled and lazy.. But now I see her in a totally different light.

When you read paranormal, fantasy or any similar kind of book,you want a heroine to be strong. You want her to kick ass and take no shit from other. You want her independent. You don't want her to be weak.
However, I find myself liking Mac more and more every time I read this series. Actually if you think about it, this way, Mac's way is better.
She was just a small town southern belle. Spoiled to no end, loved by her family and her life was great. Until suddenly it wasn't anymore.

What would you expect from her? To become strong overnight because she has to? To just know martial arts without training, because there are bad guys and she has to be a kick-ass? Sounds great, but very unreal-world like.
This time re-reading KMM Fever series I was looking for those subtle changes in her, and I found it.
She went from 'meh' to 'oh wow' in few months. Few very hard months for her. Oh, and how have she changed!

Well the how's and why's I'll leave for you to figure out yourself. :)

And this 3rd book. Ha, she became a player herself. She used to be a victim.

Nope! Not anymore!

Yeah, yeah.. I know what you think.. "but what about the ending of this book?"

What about it?

It was a great ending, a beautiful cliffhanger. I'd be suicidal if not for knowing I have the next book of this series safely in my Kindle :)

Anyway.. The Mac says it, and the author repeats it. That this is a story about light. And I actually starting to see it.

Rereading a book is great, every time it's different. A lot depends on your mood while reading, so you're able to see it from different perspective every time!

Yup, that's it for now

Peace,
Queen A.

ICED by Karen Marie Moning

Iced: A Dani O'Malley Novel 

(Fever Series#6)

(Read November 1st. 2012)

Synopsis:

The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It’s a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I’m Dani O’Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there’s no place I’d rather be. 

Dani “Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.

Dani’s ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux. 

When Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what’s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.

Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced.

3,8 Stars!


I needed something more!!! 

I'm gonna speak my mind so there maybe spoilers involved - Beware!

Why oh why is she soo fecking young and soo fecking dumb sometimes?

I know what KMM is doing, she wants us to have like 1000 questions and like 0 answers, so we would want to read the next and the next book.

But I was frustrated... If she doesn't get "the look" someone "gave" her. How can we??? We read this from her POV, so she either need to grow up and be an adult, which she hates so viciously or I'll stop reading this series..

I get that she has to make some stupid decisions to figure a lot. Nobody grew up over night. But oh man I wish she would. Cause it would be way more interesting if she would finally be "the woman" Ryo thinks she'll be.

And speaking of a Devil...
WTF??? Ryodan and Jo???? Jo????? Seriously?
I was sooo furious with him!
He's like waiting for our Mega to grow up and stuff, and then suddenly he's boiking Jo!
And Dani don't even realize she's fecking jealous! How stupid can she be??


What I Liked the most in this book:

When Dani punched Ryo in the nose out of nowhere! LOOOOOOOOOOL
I was laughing soo hard I couldn't breathe!

People I really liked in this book:

Dancer
and
Lor <-- he's hilarious!
