In her fight to stay alive, Mac must find the Sinsar Dubh—a million-year old book of the blackest magic imaginable that holds the key to power over both the worlds of Fae and Man. Pursued by Fae assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and irresistible men: V'lane, the insatiable Fae, who can turn sensual arousal into an obsession for any woman; and the ever-inscrutable Jericho Barrons, a man as alluring as he is mysterious. For centuries, the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them... 2308201 book 2007 Bloodfever (Fever, #2) total:1991|5:894|4:772|3:266|2:45|1:14| 1991 8460 2745 214 4 3 false false Fri Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 07:05:02 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 15:59:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false true Sat Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 05:34:30 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 12:15:31 -0800 2008 More character development on Mac, Jerricho, and V'lane and others.

Part of this is because I'm trying to listen to it at work, and surprisingly enough, work does occasionally require my brain to focus, and I'm missing stuff.
