MacKayla Lane lies naked on the cold stone floor of a church, at the mercy of the erotic Fae master she once swore to kill. Far from home, unable to control her sexual hungers, MacKayla is now fully under the Lord Master's spell....In New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning's stunning new novel, the walls between human and Fae worlds have come crashing down. And as Mac fights for survival on Dublin's battle-scarred streets, she will embark on the darkest--and most erotically charged--adventure of her life.He has stolen her past, but MacKayla will never allow her sister's murderer to take her future. Yet even the uniquely gifted sidhe-seer is no match for the Lord Master, who has unleashed an insatiable sexual craving that consumes Mac's every thought--and thrusts her into the seductive realm of two very dangerous men, both of whom she desires but dares not trust. As the enigmatic Jericho Barrons and the sensual Fae prince V'lane vie for her body and soul, as cryptic entries from her sister's diary mysteriously appear and the power of the Dark Book weaves its annihilating path through the city, Mac's greatest enemy delivers a final challenge....It's an invitation Mac cannot refuse, one that sends her racing home to Georgia, where an even darker threat awaits. With her parents missing and the lives of her loved ones under siege, Mac is about to come face-to-face with a soul-shattering truth--about herself and her sister, about Jericho Barrons...and about the world she thought she knew.

I'm really enjoying this series! - 5 stars
I'm really enjoying this series! This installment starts in a very dark place but you can't keep MacKayla Lane down for long. I will say that there were some moments that wrecked me emotionally. I still can't pin down Jericho Barrons! Don't even get me started trying to figure out what's happening with V'lane and Christian. I can usually see a plot twist coming a mile away but this series has managed to genuinely surprise me on multiple occasions. I loved Mac and Dani as sidhe seer outcasts! I really hope we get to learn more about Dani! She has become one of my favorite characters in the series. There are some nice revelations about Mac's family but you'll be left with even more questions about how everything will play out when you finish this one. I'm on to Shadowfever!

???Come back and fight, Mac!???
After a major set-back at the end of Faefever, Mac???s got a lot of work to do at the beginning of Dreamfever just so she can get back in the game. The first scenes of this novel, the fourth in Karen Marie Moning???s Fever series, are horrible and heart-wrenching and not at all how we were hoping things would turn out for Mac. It???s a real emotional blow for both Mac and the reader, but there???s a silver lining: we finally get some much-needed proof about Barrons??? character.
Once Mac gets her life back in order, things start moving fast and the tension never lets up. Dreamfever contains my favorite scenes of the series: when Mac gets lost in the ???silvers.??? Dreamfever ends with an incredibly cruel cliffhanger and I can???t imagine the agony that Moning fans were in when they read this book after publication and then had to wait for book 5! Fortunately, it???s out now. Trust me: you???ll want to have Shadowfever in hand because you will not be able to resist opening it immediately upon finishing Dreamfever.
For audiobook readers, I need to warn you that Joyce Bean, the narrator for the first three books in the Fever series, did not narrate the last two books. The new readers are Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante. Natalie Ross is a Texan and I actually liked her better than Joyce Bean as Mac (more authentic Southern accent) except that she changed the pronunciation of the names ???V???lane??? (to ???Vuh-lane???) and Rowena (to ???RO-win-uh???). It took me some time to adjust to Phil Gigante doing the male voices. Surprisingly, it worked well with Gigante saying the man???s line and Ross adding ???said Barrons??? (etc.) at the end. What was jarring, however, was that Gigante (who is actually one of my favorite readers) has a deep bass voice and he interpreted Barrons differently than Bean had, making Barrons occasionally sound like some sort of evil overlord caricature (especially when he laughed: ???Muwahahaha???). I adjusted to the new voices, and I still enjoyed listening to this on audio, but I was disappointed about the switch??? just so you know.
