Intrigued but impatientSep 27, 2008
By L. Welch
"Nicksmom"
I can agree with both sides of the reviews that have been coming up over the last eleven days. Like most of you, I managed to finish the 315 pages in little to no time at all. I took the warnings about reading at a slower pace to heart, but the pace of the book was such that it was hard to find a stopping point where you would be able to walk away for a few hours or days. I am not looking forward to another long wait for the next book in the series, and I am also irritated with the way things have been left. However, this is the third book of five. You can't expect great things to magically happen all at once with no serious consequence. I'm not agreeing with the ending written, but Mac herself recognizes that tithes are sometimes paid in blood. I would highly recommend that anyone contemplating this series read "Into the Dreaming" first. The references to ITD are increasingly obvious in FF. If you are an impatient reader, take the advice of most and wait for the series to be complete. It is well worth the read, and Moning is still one of my favorite authors to date.

Here's the problem; the reason for such extreme reviews.Sep 28, 2008
By S. J. Aubin
"RedHeadDo"
Most of Moning's books are connected, but each book was a self-contained story with a happy ending in the spirit of romance. When she went into fiction rather than the romance genre things got violent and ugly...the sex got rough, something you can't do in a regular historical romance.
The Fever series is one story split into 5 books and Moning doesn't leave us in a happy place at the end of each book the way a romance does. Things get really ugly in FaeFever, but I have no doubt that in the end Moning will give me what I want... sex with Jericho Barrens.
Moning hasn't written a male love interest this ruthless, hard-hearted, nasty or indifferent before. I suspect Barrens wrote the diary pages Mac is reading, if so he has some terrible demons of his own that likely are exactly the kind of demons Mac is now going to have. The horrific ending to FaeFever is exactly what Barrens needs to snap him into shape and admit his love for Mac.
This story telling is different than Monings other books because you only get Mac's side of the story and therefore no reassurance about Jericho's intentions or feelings. It's an excellent series, but if I have to wait a year for book 4 I'll scream! Karen...I'm sure you look at these reviews...PLEASE don't make us suffer! :-)

Impatient!Sep 27, 2008
By CeeCee
"SF&F Freak"
I thought the first couple of chapters were a little slow, but the rest of the book made up for it. Honestly, the only thing upsetting about this series is the endings to each of the Fever Series. It always ends when you're just starting to get somewhere. It's a little frustrating to have to wait for each new series. That's a year per book which means I won't be able to see the end of Mac's story for another two years!! While I know this keeps readers at the edge of their seats, it's a lot to ask of a reader to get excited about a story and then wait for the next installment. Maybe if there was only one more book to Mac's story then I wouldn't complain so much, but Moning has two more in the Fever Series. It's not like Harry Potter where each book had a complete ending. Moning's Fever Series stops incompletely because the story isn't finished. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

the darkest hourSep 17, 2008
By M. C. Vang Take a deep breath....okay, I admit, I read some of the spoilers before I read the book. I couldn't help it! And for me anyways, it helped prepare me for what was to come.
This is the darkest book so far but conversely, it was also one of the funniest and had the most moments that reminded me of KMM's highlander series. Maybe it was because Christian explains who his uncles are. It was bittersweet to have so many of her previous heroes mentioned...yet know that they wouldn't be saving our heroine this time. Mac's story doesn't yet have a happy ending and I want one for her so badly. I think I understand Mac when she talks about spatial distortion--I feel it when I'm reading about such dark things happening in the same world that Dagaeus, Drustan, Adam and Cian had once occupied and I believed had saved.
There are funny moments with Vlane and Barrons. I laughed out loud at a scene with Barrons. All I can say is that the scene was so vivid I could picture it. There was sexual tension, hope, lust, love, fear and everything that Mac goes through we feel.
Vlane and Barrons both show more of themselves in this one. Vlane is more forthcoming with information, explaining about the Unseelie and Seelie. KMM explains a lot in this book, things that were never revealed before. Mac is a much stronger person now, her spirit is still strong but it's tempered by what she's been through. Will go through.
If I could, I wish I could fast forward time and it would be next year and I would be reading the next book right now. Great book. Nail biting cliff hanger. My suggestion is to read it slow, savor the funny moments, the sexy moments and the revelations because we've got another year to wait to find out what happens to Mac.

Hood winkedOct 09, 2008

"KaBall68"
It would seem that she submitted the entire series to her publishers up front & they decided to divide the book into 5 parts to make some money. Well the first 2 were great, I love Mac & Barrons, but this book was a joke. Yes, you find a lot of info out which seems to be why this book was done, it was an encyclopedia of info, but no action or intrigue. As for what happens to Mac in the end ---your just left hanging like an idiot. It was a short & fast read & now they will make you wait another long year before the next one comes. Don't waist your time, wait until the entire series is out before reading anymore. I have decided not to read anymore until she ends the series.
