Fever by Lauren DeStefano

4.0

I had fever sitting around my house for a month or two before I picked it up. I don’t know why I wasn’t excited about it, I liked the first one and gave it four stars, but, I just didn’t feel like reading this one. When I finally picked it up, it was what I had expected: a second book. It was dark and depressing with a meandering plot line. Things didn’t pick up until the end. However, once they did pick up, I really got into the book. I am amazed by DeStefano’s ability to draw a person in. There were several times in the beginning that I was a little board and frustrated with where the characters were at, but the promise of where the story could go, kept me turning the pages. That seemed to enrich the story for me. I would rate this book a 3.5 but I am rounding up to a 4 because I liked the book more than I had anticipated.
