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....From the Hardcover edition.

Initial Thoughts: I forgot how much I love this series and these characters. There is action, romance, sexual tension, and humor all wrapped into these great pages. There are times I'm gasping in horror at what Mac is going through or laughing out loud at the banter between Mac and Barrons. I had no issue jumping back into this book, I even feel like Moning did a brief review at the beginning of the book of what had happened previously and I appreciated that! I definitely cannot wait to read the next book, but I also like that I can take my time and not rush through the series. I think I will pick up Faefever in a few months when I'm in the mood and I can fall in love with the characters again.
Bloodfever, the second novel in Karen Marie Moning???s FEVER series featuring Southerner MacKayla Lane, maintains the fast pace, exciting action, romantic tension, and emotional impact of the first novel. So far, FEVER has not devolved into a brainless paranormal romance which is more focused on sex than plot, and at this point I feel hopeful that such an atrocity will not occur.
I read Brilliance Audio???s version of Bloodfever which was narrated by Joyce Bean. It was difficult to put down. In fact, I listened to the entire book (nine hours) in less than two days, probably annoying my family by having my earbuds in for hours at a time.
Mac is a heroine who feels real ??? she???s got plenty of courage and spunk, but as she learns more about her place in the ... Read More: http://www.fantasyliterature.com/reviews/bloodfever-audio/
