Reread January 2011

I've upped the stars for this book from 4 to 5. I can't even begin to say how much I am enjoying this series or this author's writing style.

I love all of the characters, especially Mac. I understand that many people absolutely loathe her character, but upon reading this book a second time, I really do love her character and while she is a little spoiled, a little rainbowish, and a little naive, the development of her character from the beginning of the book (Mac 1.0) to the ...more

I can honestly say a book like this is a first for me. I'm traditionally a "romance" type of gal. While this book certainly has it's share of tiny tidbits of chemistry between the leads, it really has very little romance in it (so far:).

This is urban fantasy at it's finest. The world building in Darkfever is so intense and mesmerizing, that it sucks you right in. You are so immersed in this new world, that time suspends, pages fly by, and before you know it, you are left at the door of a cliffh ...more

I was undecided on whether I should give it 3 or 4 stars. I decided on 3 because the story wasn't that fab. Towards the end it picked its pace up and did reel me into the story more, so I am interested in seeing what happens in the next installment.
It was the character Jericho Barrons that had kept me reading this book. Barrons is such a interesting mystery I found myself skimming some of the duller bits to find any information on him, I could. He isn't like other male character's that you fall ...more

I love Karen Marie Moning's writing style and how she betrays Seelies and Unseelies. It's nothing like the other fairy stories I've read, except maybe a little bit more intense then Wicked Lovely.
I also love the character V'Lane. He sounds Yummy! Who wouldn't want a Fairy to do that to you? =) I look forward to getting to know him better also.
I won't get into the storyline since the description pretty much says it all.
All I know is I look forward to ...more

One of the best books that I have read this year. The story is organic, branching off in many directions, giving the characters room to grow and struggle. The characters are interesting and intriguing, sometimes mysterious (Barrons!) and it leaves you wanting more. I couldn't put this book down and I was shocked to realize how long I had avoided reading it.

Just overall a fun, mysterous read! I can't wait until the second book arrives to continue on with the series! ...more

Could not warm up to Mac. What a spoiled child. Only Barrons kept me reading. Plus, I really dislike books written in 1st person. However, now that I have started the series, I will continue on in hopes that Mac grows the hell up! I must say, I liked Moning's Highlander series much much better. ...more
