Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning
3.0
This was not very good. And it took me way longer than I would have liked to acclimate to Moning’s writing style for this book (because the Highlander series does not have the same flow).
My biggest gripe: there is absolutely no f*cking romance in this book. None. Zilch. Zero. Am I taking crazy pills? Why is this series considered a romance?
The narration is absurd: the heroine goes off on so many annoying tangents that don’t actually move the plot forward. At one point, Mac is musing about buying Green Day’s Greatist Hits album so she can listen to “Basket Case” (which she doesn’t know the name of so she instead just fires off the lyrics). Girl! I don’t care - can we get back to solving your sister’s brutal murder?
The world building is excellent though and I do find myself intrigued as to where this is all going to go. People seem to enjoy the next book more (and I did suffer through Moning’s first Highlander book) so I shall continue.
