Darkfever: Fever Series Book 1

Moning creates a completely and complexly developed world of man and fae. She does a great deal of world building, setting us up for the series as a whole. But this doesn’t hamper the story of this novel itself. The enticing plot had me quite entertained, while also leaving me wanting to come back and find out what happens next. I love Moning’s writing style. She paints pictures without hampering your imagination, takes you deep into the world that she’s built. The flow is simultaneously fun & elegant, creating something positively magical. I loved the feeling that the main character is telling us her story. It drew me further into the tale while also allowing me to get to know Mac better. The NA quickly growing up feeling was prevalent throughout. Moning also lets her characters’ true personalities shine through. They aren’t always proper, likeable individuals. They’re snarky when they feel like it, helpful when it works for them, and downright loveable throughout. Jericho Barrons is a perplexing mystery and a real treat in this novel. Who and what is he really? It’s one of those mysteries that I can’t wait to delve deeper into through the series. Moning left me reeling and dying for more at the end of the novel. This is definitely a series that I’ll be delving much deeper into.

3 out of 5 stars. The story is written in a journal aspect, like Mac went through this journey and then is writing it all down afterwards so it'll be documented, you know this since there is a lot of foretelling in how the details are written. I'm not sure if I completely like that or not, since it's like you get into a scene and then the foretelling stops you from being completely there. Other then that, I think it's a great book. Action Packed! I can't wait to read the next in the series! Review By: From Me to You ... Video, Photography, & Book Reviews -- read more of this review on my blog --

I'm glad that I finally picked this up. It kept my interest and really left me wanting more when it ended. Some of the elements are the same as other fantasy stories that I've read, but it also feels like it has a little something special to it. I like that the female lead isn't head over heels for a guy. She wants answers because of her sister, and she keeps that as her goal. I'll continue the series for sure.
