How can you end a book like that, and when is the next one in the series out???

*3'75*

Vale, vamos a ver, ¿cómo terminas un libro así, Karen? ¿Quieres que me dé un ataque al corazón? Te odio, mujer.

Con Feverborn me ha pasado lo mismo que con Iced y Burned, y es que las escenas de Mackayla me llegan a cansar una barbaridad, y luego llegan las de Jada y estoy que me subo por las paredes porque, simplemente, la adoro. Y yo lo siento, Barrons, pero Ryodan te supera por momentos, qué se le va a hacer, es mi nuevo favorito.

Más escenas de Jada y menos de Mac, sólo pido eso. Gracias.

Esperaba el momento explosión de Jada con demasiadas ganas, y va Karen y me hace esto. No sé si odiarla o gritar de la emoción. Se ve que es una autora de contrastes. ¿Y me vas a decir que ahora tengo que esperar hasta 2017? ¿Dónde está el barranco más cercano?

Venga, voy a ver si se me quita este dolor extraño que tengo en el pecho mientras espero a Feversong.

This novel is so freaking beautiful. It followed Moning's usual formulas, in almost every sense, albeit a little (wayyyyyyy) more sexual. And chaotic in terms of plot. Not four stars.

But, I couldn't ignore the plot and development of Dani/Jada. It truly, honestly broke my heart. Her trauma wasn't used as a fucking plot-pusher, or as a way for Ryodan to 'save,' her, it was simply showing the journey a broken girl tried to take, to heal.



And Shazam. Fuckkkkkk. My heart.

As always, this book ended with a cliffhanger. I felt like this one was more abrupt than the previous ones. I love this series, period. I loved "seeing" the old gang again
Spoiler With that said, in the words of Dani " What the Feck!" lol! It appears that Ms. Moning is going to change the whole premise of the storyline this far into the series and pull a "Days of our Lives" (American Soap Opera, for those who don't know). Alina is back from the dead? The entire reason this story began was because of the death of Mac's sister. This is a game changer and I am just not sure about it, time will tell and I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt on this one. I am also glad to see a little Dani come back into Jada's personality.

This book is absolutely amazing, and the cliffhanger killed me. I HATE having to wait for more Fever books! I always end up forgetting what happened in the last one by the time I get my hands on the new one.

Oh wow!!

This was pretty phenomenal!

Jada and Shazam tore at my heart deeply.
And such great twists and turns!

I'm already starting the sequel. Can't get enough!

Eagerly anticipating another Fever book, I read it as fast as my busy life would allow. Of course, it left me wanting more. Not just at the end of the book. I wanted more in this story. More Ryodan, more Dani/Jada, more of the Nine.... Much was left unexplained, but I'm sure it will be answered in the next book, or the next.

This review contains minor spoilers.

Feverborn picks up where Burned left off and is another solid installment of entertaining story telling. It’s not epic, none of the last 3 books seem to have reached the pinnacle of the first 5 – but in comparison to other offerings in the same genre – it’s still really good.

The black holes which have sprung up on the sites previously iced by the Hoar Frost King are getting bigger. Soon they’ll destroy the fabric of earth and the Fae realm which has been tied to it. Desperation makes for strange bedfellows….well…..questionable bedfellows. Which is how Ryoden, Jada, Dancer, Mac, and Barrons end up working together again to save the world; with Christian along for the ride since discovering that the "dearly beloved" Ryoden sent him home with was not in fact his uncle’s remains. Both Mac and Dani/Jada have to lay low since the Dublin Daily outed them as being tools of the Sinsar Dubh -or more specifically they outed Mac and pulled a Fake News on Dani/Jada.

As usual – it’s always an interesting time in the Fever world. Mac’s dead sister is running around Dublin looking disheveled and confused. A monstrosity known as the Sweeper is hunting for “broken things” to “fix”. (The Unseelie King was VERY clear with Mac NOT to talk to it or it’s minions). Cruce is plotting away with Papa Roach to escape his prison and take over as the new Seelie/Unseelie ruler. And who knows what Ryoden is up to with Uncle Dageus in the dungeon.

Random character thoughts:
Shazam – My favorite character – the “mopey wizard/koala bear/cat manic-depressive binge-eater. The fact that Jada loves Shazam warms me up to Jada. It must be the animal lover in me – I want my own Shazam. I think Hunters are my second favorite characters. Obviously, I’m an animal lover above all else.

Mac – I like that she isn’t as passive as she was in Burned; although I suppose I really can’t blame her for being concerned that she’s the repository for the ultimate evil and could possibly complicate things even further by letting it’s psychopathic, homicidal tendencies loose to run amok.

Dani/Jada – Dani aggravated me with her immaturity. Jada in her one-dimensional-ness seems equally immature but in a different way. However, towards the end as D/J spends more time in the world and more time around people who are significant to her – the integration of the two pieces of her personality start to form a more likable whole. Plus, she loves Shazam.
Barrons – I think he is the perfect alpha hero. He’s figured out the balance between being protective (getting Mac’s spear back) and respecting her as an equal by allowing her to make her own decisions while having her back. Funny how “Try to stay alive, Ms. Lane” actually ends up sounding sexy. Damn shame everything is “fade to black”.

Ryoden – still Meh. Bossy little bugger. He has not figured out the perfect balance.
