Why? Why must I be such an addict to these types of books? I hate the fact that a new one isn't coming out until this Fall. This was my favorite so far...
So, I accidentally listened to most of book 4 before book 3 and spent the entire time trying to remember the order of things because I didn’t remember there being so many unexplained jumps from the first time I read the series (up to book 7). As soon as I went back to listen to this book, everything locked into place. I will reiterate that Mac definitely goings through *a lot* in this series!
Not really understanding why this series is so highly rated.
As Mac grows more into herself, I’m liking her more and more.
I've been a fan of Moning's romance novels for quite awhile. When I first read on her website what the Fever series was about and how it differed from her past books, I was a little worried, but curious nonetheless. As it turns out, this series has me so much more invested in the characters than her Highlander series!
Faefever is the third book in the Fever series, and it definitely reads like it. I've seen some other reviews that criticize this installment for being too slow with not enough character development and having a terrible ending. Sure, the ending is hard to read and come to grips with, especially since I feel so strongly for the main character, Mac! It's dark, depressing, and shocking. But Moning had pre-warned her avid readers of this. I trust her enough that I know she wouldn't have put Mac through what she did if there wasn't a purpose. Moning doesn't write shock just for the sake of it. Everything has a place in the grand scheme of her story.
No, Faefever isn't as action packed as the first two books in the series, but alot still happened. So much that I'm still just as eager for the last two books as I was for each book before it.
If you have already read Darkfever and Bloodfever, love the story, and the anticipation of the next book, pick it up! If you're one of those people who just can't stand cliffhangers, I would recommend waiting until the remaining books have been published and then picking up with the story again. Either way, the book is much more than just filler as some have said!

After my re-read I'm upping my rating to 4.5 stars.
So many things are foreshadowed and I think the 2 main reasons I had for a lower rating were that 1 Barrons and Mac didn't seem to have as much time together and I got a little focused on that since I really wanted more for their relationship and I needed to know who/what Barrons was and got no real answers this book. The second reason was probably that cliffy of an ending sometimes it is really hard to read about no matter how well that author writes it and KMM did a fantastic job sometimes it is too much for me to handle the first time and I get all icky inside.
On the re-read I didn't rush through Mac's time with V'lane while he was explaining about the Unsealie King, Queen and Faery. I took my time and really enjoyed the history he was telling Mac. I also enjoyed Mac's time with Christian and the other players on the board.
I missed the subtle ways that parts of Mac's and Barrons relationship changed. He has become more possessive and protective of her in ways but still seems to try and give her space to become the woman she is supposed to be without smothering her. He offered to go with her to the Abby to see Rowena and the girls. He could tell someone died at his store but she said she didn't need him so he gave her space. He also followed her and went to where she was and sat outside just in case but for an Alpha male that concession is huge. Another big relationship moment came when Barron's felt betrayed by Mac and used Voice to find out everything she had been up to with the book. When he asked questions about V'lane you could tell how jealous he was and even though they never say it how much he wants her but is restraining himself.
When I finished the book this time it didn't shock me as much and I really read through the scene and I think I better understand what the author was trying to portray in the story. All the events that lead up to the ending were executed phenomenally. Having already read books 4 and 5 I was able to pick out a few other details that hit me in the head like wow I should have really seen that coming.
This series has been even better the second time through. I don't think I can say that for many series I've read. Miss KMM has definitely woven a very complicated and intricate skein and I'm loving every detail.

3.5 Stars. The Fever series is becoming one of my favorites and this third installment is no exception to that.
Faefever picks up right where we left Mac after she has glimpsed the book and how it is moving around. Wow let me just say I really didn't see that coming it was incredibly dark and well thought out. Mac is still trying to figure out who is on who's team. It is a struggle to figure out what is going on and who to trust.
“You can’t change an unpleasant reality if you won’t acknowledge it, Mac. You can only control what you’re willing to face. Truth hurts. But lies can kill.”
While the middle got a little repetitive for my taste and slowed down quite a bit the beginning and end were so good. I just missed Barrons and the banter for a lot of the book. Mac was distracted by the police still suspecting her of murder, Dani who is completely adorable and the other sidhe-seers and Christian Mackelter who is trying to help Mac is well. Of coarse the LM is still after Mac and V'lane keeps showing up trying to persuade Mac too. Everyone seems to want a piece of her.
Mac has strong dark feelings for Barrons and since he doesn't particularly seem like the hero she isn't sure what to do with them.
“I didn’t hear him behind me. I felt him. Electric. Wild. One foot in the swamp. Never going to crawl all the way out.
And I wanted to have sex with whatever he was. Where was I supposed to put that in my head?”
There are still some great moments between Barrons and Mac. Also a lot of new information about the Fae comes out as the world building continues. The back-story is very intriguing and have enjoyed learning about this different world.
The ending was such a huge cliffhanger and so dark that it left me panicked and wanting to jump headfirst into the next book. Miss Moning really dealt me a heavy blow and I pained for Mac.
This wasn't the strongest book in the series for me but it definitely had some great action and the ending was phenomenal. I can't wait to discover what comes next.

Where is the next book?!?
I have really enjoyed these books. They suck you in and leave you dry and wanting more. Especially the end of this one. I thought it might be a nice trilogy, but need to get my hands on number 4!
