"Hello, my name is ..." *~ Introductions
Kristina- Tina- 24, USA! I found the Fever series reading the Highlander series... I'd have to say book four is my favorite. Although, they all rank pretty up there!
Oh I love the fever series, n between Adam Black, Hawk, Cian , Daegus , and last but defiantly not least in my dirty thoughts... JZB. As much as I love Mac (now) at first she was the type I would knock out just to mess up her outfit. But I still might have to kill her, but then he would kill me. Ahh the tangled web Ms. Moning weaves.. Did you check out the alpha alternative? If I didn't have an alpha of my own I might have been... Scared instead of excited.
But not digging iced so far, she's 14! There's just something off about that. Maybe as she gets umm legal it will be better for now I want to know what's up with dancer? He's no average mortal, I can't wait to figure his adorable nerdy ass out!
Hi. I'm Maggie. New mom of twin boys.The 1st book I read after having them was Iced. I finished it in a week. I know my priorities.
Books > sleep. :D
Loved Iced, btw. Big Dani fan.
Hey everyone! I'm Krystle, 27 and live in Loveland, OH.
I discovered the books a while back from a friend of mine. She demanded that I buy them because she knew I'd just fall in love with them... Well I hunted the series down, but I had so many other books in line before these I put them off for a bit... Over the summer tho I started and I could NOT put them down....... Let me just say one word... Barrons.... lol this series is just so unique and unlike any other that I've read thus far ... I'm in love.
Since then I've told another friend of mine about them, she bought them all and read them recently, and she's smitten just like I am lol. We'll both send random texts thru the week that just says "Barrons" lol ..
My favorite book , eh hard to say probably Dreamfever and then Shadowfever. Iced was awesome because we're learning about the mysteriously handsome Ryodan and Christian..
Hi everyone! My name is Sky, I am 26, and I am that girl Krystle got addicted/obsessed with the Fever series!! haha. I've passed the torch to another friend, who too has become fully enveloped by the amazing talent of KMM. I’ve cleared the best spot on my shelf for all of KMM’s novels, totally knocked everything else out of the way. I enjoyed Iced, a lot more towards the middle of the book and especially the ending. I have hopes that Ryo will not be a love interest later, but rather a father/big brother figure? *hopeful* (though I hear at the end of the series, Dani will be 17 years old…) I have high hopes of character development from KMM, she never fails. Dani is an independent woman and I have a hunch that she will become a powerful leader. Excited to see where this new adventure takes us. I can’t see Dani falling in love for either Christian or Ryo. =x But I know KMM is the best with surprises and twists. Ugh… Is it time for Burned to be released now?

Hello everyone!
1. My name is Kim. I'm 28 and I'm from Brampton, Ontario - a suburb outside Toronto.
2. I discovered the series through Goodreads! I noticed that this series was on the "favourites" shelves of most of my favourite reviewers here on Goodreads. I gave Darkfever a shot one day and I just found myself going to work zombie-like for the whole week because I couldn't put the books down.
3. My favourite book of the series is probably Dreamfever, although I want to say I love them all equally. The obvious reason for this was the fact that Jericho and Mac finally got together, sort of. It was just a relief to finally get some action, after all that sexual tension from books 1-3. Smuttiness aside though, I just loved how this book made me feel. I could feel Mac's hurt and feelings of betrayal towards Jericho when he wasn't there to rescue her when she needed him. I had a glimpse of Jericho's feelings towards Mac. I loved how Mac emerged as a more kick-ass heroine. However, I read this book when I had Shadowfever readily available to read next. Had I read this and Shadowfever was still not published, it might not have been my favourite due to the cliffhanger at the end.
4. Why do I love the series so much? Jericho Barrons. Is that reason enough? Hehe! Kidding aside, I thoroughly enjoyed this series because it was action-packed, had the right amount of romance and smut, and it kept me on the edge of my seat book after book. It was just a constant build-up of excitement for me! There was never a boring part in any of the books. Plus, I found Mac so easy to like. She's girly and kick-ass, fearless but not without nerves. She's extremely loyal and "good" through and through. Lastly, there's an abundance of hot guys throughout the series. Jericho Barrons is the absolute pinnacle of alpha-male-hero-perfection. I don't think anyone can EVER top him, for me at least.
Hello! My name is Tammy from Turlock, CA! I have just discovered this series and love it! I am already on Dreamfever and by reading all your posts am so happy I don't have to wait for the next in the series to come out! I am not sure if there is anyone still discussing or doing anything with these books, but I already cant wait until her next new book comes our way!
Tammy wrote: "Hello! My name is Tammy from Turlock, CA! I have just discovered this series and love it! I am already on Dreamfever and by reading all your posts am so happy I don't have to wait for the next in..."Glad that you caught the Fever Kim and Tammy! So glad you are enjoying the series :) !
Ciao -- I go by 'Dayo'! I'm 17 and live on the West Coast of the USA.I discovered the series when I read paperback novels that you find in a grocery store on an unwitting lunchbreak. I had NO idea how much these novels would take a place in my heart. ;)
My favorite book so far, is without a doubt, 'Iced'. If I were to say I liked one in particular on the Mac/Barrons duo, it would be 'Darkfever'. I'm not so hot on that series anymore -- I can't even bring myself to re-read any Mac/Barrons literature, as I'm so invested in Dani right now! Lol! Damnit!
This series made me think. I was actually growing with the characters. (No duh, because I happen to be at an impressionable age.. Luckily I got impressed on by a master author!)
Also, anything and everything which depicts fae to be evil is my cup of tea. I'm on a kick, which has lasted a couple years... There you have it.
Hoping to keep in touch ;)
My name is Sharmila, in my thirties :,) I hale from Queens NYMy husband brought me a Nook for Mother Days, due to taking up every non-vacant spot we had to house books. I my first down load was the Highlander Series that came before the Fever Series and I really enjoyed them. I read reviews about the fever series and like the writing of Morning that I kept go back to the reviews. The First book I kept in my wish list for a while and decided to download it due to nothing spiking my interest at the time. I read the first one and never turned back. Thank God at the time I was on vacation and read all the books leading Shadow Fever that hadn't release yet. I was so glad I only had to wait 4 months vs a year. I would have died if I had to wait so long! I so loved this series, had all my friends read it as well.
My fav has to be FaeFever going into DreamFever. You really see Barron’s and Max’s relationship take a huge turn. Finally!
I love the series for so many reasons. Barron’s and Max relationship develops in a slow yet intense pace. They didn't fall into bed from the beginning or at least from what she remembers (if you ever read JZB POV on Morning’s Face book page, you know what I mean)
I loved the suspense and the emotion that each characters develops through. You hate and love all the players in this series.
You see Max grow up right before your eyes and you see Barron’s learn to trust.
The writing was wonderful and kept you so involved. I didn't want it to end and was heart broken when it did.
hello my name is melissa i'm from Lebanon i m 21 years old i discovered this series here on goodreads in the love-hate list :P i read the whole series in a week :P and my favorite book is the 5th . the author is just brilliant her writing about jericho barrons is just mind blowing he s the best male character i ever read about :) and his philosophy is just wow :P you can never know what he s thinking if anyone knows a book similar to this one pleaseeeee let me know . jericho barrons spoiled reading for me :P because after reading this series i have a high standard for books i always compare to this series and end up disapointed :D
Hello all. I'm Kay and a new fan of KMM. I just recently read all the Fever Series books to date and love them and can't wait for the next installment! Hope to start the Highlanders series soon.Love me some JZB!!!!
Hi, my name is Carole. I'm 33 and from the US. I'm new to GR but definitely not to the Fever Series. It was about 5/6 years ago that I joined one of those book clubs, as I was looking through their list, this cover caught my eye. I read the synopsis and thought, yeah I could read this. Needless to say, I FELL IN LOVE WITH MAC AND JZB!!! I was so taken by the book that I suggested it to my sister. Now she's a huge fan. My favorite book would have to be Shadowfever because Mac finally gets her petunia in gear with her feelings for Barrons. It was driving me bugf••k that she kept denying it. Of course Barrons *sigh* admits in his own way how he feels. Makes me melt!!!!
- Hi everyone, my name is Chel. I'm 35 from Cali.- I discovered the Fever series from one of my co-workers
- I truly enjoyed all the books, but Shadowfever is my absolute favorite of the series
- I loved everything about the series, the characters were well developed, the story line was absolutely captivating and kept me wanting to learn more. I literally could not put any of the books down.
Hi, my name is Elisa, 32, from Uruguay. I found Kiss of Highlander and The inmortal highlander on sale and took them home but haven´t started them yet. So I´m a newbie, and don´t know anything about the author or saga!!!
Hi everyone!I discovered the Fever series earlier this month, I have been stuck with books for over a year, just haven't been able to get into the ones i have tried. I love anything supernatural - but it has to be different. I am not interested in high school, YA etc. And I want the series to be original. Well, when I found FEVER, I couldnt stop reading.
I literally became addicted to it, and devoured all the books in 14 days. They were SO good. So, I thought id join good reads to get some new recommendations, and thought id join this group!
I'm Sarah Jane, I'm 25 and im from Essex. I love the series because the characters are multi layred, and the line between good and bad isn't clean cut.
My favourite book I think was Bloodfever. Just because at that point I knew I was obsessed with the series but it was still very new. I liked seeing Barrons crumble when he thought Mac was dying, and I found it hilarious when she stands up to him alot more.

Read her highlander books. I really like Richelle Mead. She has several great series. Vampire Academy (which reads more like adult novels) and Succubus Blues. Great series.

Just thought of two more that are really good. Rachel Vincent's Shifters series and Keri Arthur Riley Jensen series.
Hello!My name is Laura! My friends call me Loo. (I realize everyone in the UK finds this funny) I am from Canada :)
A friend of mine recommended the Fever series as I loved the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. I was a huge fan and I was a devout member of Team Eric. My friend said she could cure me of this but I swore up and down I would never switch teams but.....I sure changed my time once I finished the Fever series! Holy Barrons! Yowza. Haha.
My favorite books by Moning thus far are Dreamfever and Shadowfever.....I think you can easily guess why! I did also love Beyond the Highland Mist though. I never thought I was a real romantic type girl. My favorite book in the world is Exorcist and there isn't anything sexy about that! Ha. But here I am.
I think the Moning books are great because I can finish then quickly and enjoy them easily. I love how she really makes you feel impatient! I can't put the damn books down once I pick them up because I need to get to the end so desperately, and it's always satisfying! I love how she can make you hate a character but grow to love them. It's a brave thing to do, knowingly make an obnoxious character like Mac Lane. I did grow to like her though, like I said - satisfying!
I look forward to finishing the Highlander series and the (hopefully) many more books to come!
Hope to meet some great Maniacs :)
Loo.
Welcome to the Maniacs Laura. You said eep you are 29 so I must say yikes I am 55 and adore JB. The new series is out with 'Iced' its Dani's story and continues the series; and just like the fever series will be another addictive read. I love Karen Marie Moning's writing. I read a good 200 books a year but have reread hers over and over again. I have so many authors I love, but KMM is my number 1 favourite. Hope you like the group there are some really fun posts here.
Hi. My name is Dana. I'm 38 years old, from Pittsburgh, and The Fever Series is my favorite series. I love JZB. My favorite book is Shadowfever out of all of them, including ICED. I am waiting, admittedly not patiently, for the release of BURNED, and I'm totally psyched it's going to be from Mac's point of view. I love Dani too, but Mac even more. Also, if Mac is telling the story, Barrons will be around. That's a plus in my book. Happy reading everyone!
Hello all, I'm Khara and I'm a feveraholic!I'm 25 (for the last 9 years) feel free to do the math--haha! I LOVE the "Fever" series and I've read then twice...however, I have t read Iced yet because KMM cliffhanger endings drive me mad! Until Burned is closer to it's release date I won't touch Iced. There is NO character that can touch JZB and the nine--IMO--My favorite series was The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost with Cat and Bones, and I thought no one could touch them as a couple until I was introduced to these books. KMM is FANtastic!
Sorry I left out a few things.I live in Southern Cali, Orange County.
I found the series through my book club and my favorite book of the series is Dreamfever!
"Don't leave me." I thrash in the sheets.
"I'm not, Mac."
I know I am dreaming then, because dreams are home to the absurd and what he says next is beyond absurd.
"You're leaving me, Rainbow Girl."
Absolutely Brilliant!
@Khara: Ohhh ... I loved that part when Mac was priya
Yes!! U really got to see a different side of Barrons, and how much he really cared for her.
I know right ... have you read The Alpha Alternative? It's basically a snippet from Barron's POV in Dreamfever when he first meets Mac
Of course I did!!! LoL--I loved the way he came in to Rowena's with the nine, or eight because I guess I can't count JZB, to rescue Mac! So in love with them! It was killing me I couldn't figure out what the hell he was when I was reading it. I thought for the longest time he was unseelie king!
@Khara:Oh, I know right ... I was like who & what is Barrons, especially when he died
I was freaking out! I have a secret...I cheated and skipped ahead until I was Barrons in the book again, because if he was really dead I was NOT finishing it!
Hi everybody! Names Shari-amor.I'm 26 and from Oakland, California but I'm currently in the process of moving back to Virginia to finish my schooling.
I actually discovered the Highlander series first and by accident in the library. I was looking for a particular book and Drustans sorta looked like it with the timepiece on the front. Since I'm not a fan of the highlander sub genre, if I had known what it was that I picked off the shelf, I would have put it back. And in reading it, I immediately fell in love with the way Moning wrote her characters. So I was already a fan when she posted she was writing a new series and that it wouldnt be the same cookie cutter romance. And she didnt disappoint with her Fever series. I love it, ok I'm a bit obsessed. :-)
Hello, my name is Donna, just celebrated my 42nd birthday. I'm from Texas. My sister introduced me to the Fever series. Loved it so much bought all of Karen Moning's books right away. Have every single one of her books in hard cover, ebook, and audible. Quite the investment but worth every penny. I've read the Fever Series about 5 times...never gets old. Oh and BARRONS is definately THE ALPHA, the epitome of male personified. Looking forward to discussions on the matter. Can't wait for next book either.
Hi all,My name is Manna. I am 21 and hail from London, England.
I discovered the Fever Series when looking for a series to occupy my time whilst waiting for the next Black Dagger Brotherhood book but it had to have some hot alpha males too. That's when I stumbled upon Fever Series and Mr Jericho Barrons.
If I had to pick a favourite book it would probably be Dreamfever because, like Angelique said, we saw more emotions from Barrons and Mac and him finally got together even if the circumstances weren't ideal.
I don't know how to explain why I like the books so much but one thing I do know is that Barrons, Ryodan and the small glimpses I've caught of the other 9 seem to possess a different level of "alpha". I don't know what it is but when reading the books they seemed almost untouchable, like they were the masters and I never thought any males in the genre would come close to the brothers but I guess I was proven wrong.
Ok, enough of the rambling. ;)
Hello! My name is Celena and I LOVE this series!
Hey all! I am new to the Moning fan base but have been reading her for years. -your name, age and country - Jane, 48, USA
-How you discovered the series - addicted to the Highlanders but interested in the Fever books. Not read them yet but going to give them a try.
-which was your favorite book
Kiss of the Highlander but love all the Highlander books.
-And why you loved the series so much - strong alpha males and women with character and smarts. A good combination and the fantasy element!
Nice to meet all you KMM fantatics =)
-your name, age and country - My name is Priyanka, 30 years and from USA (Texas/Dallas)-How you discovered the series - Browsing around goodreads for the new book to read (and I consider that day one of my luckiest)
-which was your favorite book (all of fever series through and through)
-And why you loved the series so much. (sigh!! ..who knows why someone loves something... I just know I do. Although I don't think I can explain my feelings for this book in so many words starting from how well written it is and its depth, the world of Dublin temple bar district and fays, JBZ-Mac etc. It is safe to say that this book series has ruined all the other books for me :(
Hieveryone, my name is Raquel, 33 yrs old from Canada. I found out about the series through various friend's recommendations.My favorite books were Dreamfever and Shadowfever. I absolutely loved everything about the series. The characters (Mac & Barrons became one of my fave fictional couple and characters), world building, mystery, the anticipation, and unpredictability of the story. Iwas wrong in almost every theory I had while reading.
So glad found this group :)
Raquel!!! Welcome girl!! One more sister to talk about the series with! Glad your here to play! :.)
Sharmila wrote: "Raquel!!! Welcome girl!! One more sister to talk about the series with! Glad your here to play! :.)"Thanks Sharmila :)
I forgot to even introduce myself. My name is Samantha. I bring all my craziness from Bklyn, NY. LOL. I'm a grown woman (Ha! You thought I was slipping with my age! A woman never tells!). Honestly, I came into the Fever series by chance because all of my GR friends just loved it. When I read the first book, I gave it a low rating. *gasp* I really didn't like it. So someone told me to try it again and I did but in the audio form. OMG!!! I was so caught up in everything that I remember sitting in the parking lot at work trying to get just a little bit more in. LOL. I don't have a favorite per say but I really loved Shadowfever.
I'm just glad to be able to be crazy with all of you :)
Hello everyone! I am Sara, 28 fron Indianapolis in USA. Sharmilla told me about this group and I couldn't resist to join other fellow fever fans!
I just stumbled upon this series about a year ago. I had just read the Trylle series and was on a fae kick and this series sounded interesting and I am so So happy I found them.
I think my favorite is Dreamfever. Although I loved every single one of them!
Monning makes it so easy to fall into her world. It's so creative and captivating. Jericho Barnes is pretty hot and tempting too ;-)
Lovely to meet you all and looking forward to discussions and making new fever friends!
Hi everyone! I'm Danielle, 36, from MI, US. I totally forgot to introduce myself also. Sharmila pointed me in the right direction when recommending this group. I love the Fever series & am probably going to be checking out the Highlander series soon. I've been having a blast shooting the sh...stuff with you guys & look forward to conspiring in the future :)
Hey everyone! My name is Paula and I'm from Louisiana.I found this on Goodreads and decided to give it a try and it has become one of my all time FAV series!
Dreamfever because I really liked the side of Barrons we saw when Mac was Pri-ya. I think that was the first time you could see there was a "Mac" soft spot in him.
There's no other series out there like this and I LOVE LOVE (Dani, Mac, Ryoden, Barrons, Dancer) the characters Karen's given us. Just when you think you have a character or storyline figured out it turns a 180 and goes a different way!
Hello, I'm Rhonda from Alabama. I loved the Fever series and am looking forward to read her Highland series next.
Hello! I'm Margaret and i from TX. I absolutely love this series. I read and enjoy all kinds of books, And like a good conversation.
Hi everybody, I just found this group.My name is April and I'm living in Florida. I started reading KMM with the Highlander series and I love Drustan and Dageus MacKeltar. Eventually I found my way to the Fever series where I, like everyone else, fell hard for Jericho Barrons. I'm about to start rereading Dreamfever just to get back into that world.
Looking forward to talking to other fans about these amazing books.

I'm dawn and i LOVE LOVE this series, I'm 35, and i discovered this series awhile ago on goodreads. They are all my favorite book. ICED was pretty good just can't wait to get more in depth with the story. I must say I'm rooting for the HIGHLANDER!!!
