Nice to see you here, Ebony.
Hey April, nice to see you here too. :)
Hi, My name is Naomi, 29, USA. I had discovered this book series back in like 2010 when I had started reading The Outlander and I was totally into anything that had to do with Scotland and Ireland. I put it on my to-read list on Goodreads and forgot about it till 5 days ago when I took the plunge into Dublin and read all 5 books in 5 days !! I like Shadow Fever the best out the 5 books. I like how the series kept me guessing. I read quite a bit and can sometimes get ahead of the book pretty sure I know what is coming. But with these books I was always on my toes wondering what was going to happen next or who stood where. It was a constant guessing game.
Hello and Welcome Ebony and Naomi :.D
Welcome Naomi :) That's the beauty of the books. They keep us guessing and speculating.
Hey! Im Chelsay, I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and I am currently reading (and loving!) Iced. I discovered KMM through my PNR Bookclub, one of the other women was raving about the Fever series and I just had to read it! OMG - Barrons! No words can describe how infuriating, frustrating, and dangerous he is but is sexy as all hell and is someone I wont ever forget. I <3 JZB xo
Lynn, 50, NJ, USA I don't remember.. And I've no idea how I found out about KMM. Oh yes I do! lol. I was looking through large print books, and there they were like almost all of them.. That was it.. Hooked!

Valerie, 27, OK, USAI stumbled upon Darkfever in my favorite used bookstore. Oh, what a discovery!
Favorite book in the series? I would say Shadowfever, but in reality, it's whichever KMM book I'm currently reading. :)

How could anyone not absolutely love this series?
I don't think I have said hello yet. Gretchen, 32, NC.After much procrastination on a friends request to read this series, I was sucked in all at once! I absolutely cannot believe how amazing the fever series is. JZB.....OH MY!! Same with her highlander series. She has literally ruined all books for me. I am always comparing other authors works to hers, especially her highlander books.
My name is Denise, I live in beautiful Norther Nevada, and I'm old enough to know better!
I'm Elisa. I'm from Connecticut USA. I am just finishing a reread of the 8 highlander books and fever series.
Well I don't know where the rest of my post went...if it doesn't show on my other device I will repost!
I don't know if I posted or not. Can't remember.. Lynn, New Jersey... Read all fever books, not the highlander series
Hello everyone! I'm Minou. I discovered the Fever series browsing though the library a couple years back (so glad I stumbled upon it) I started with book 1, fell in love and returned to check out the rest. My current favorite book is Iced, I've grown quite fond of Dani. Ryodan is definitely my favorite character in the series, can't wait for Burned!
Hi,I'm Maeve or M for short. I'm 27 and have just moved back to Upstate NY/USA. My favorite book of the series is Iced so far and I love adult-based Fae oriented urban fantasy. I have only read the Fever series so far but am quickly falling in love with Moning's abiliy to storyscape and character build so do plan to give her Highlander series a try soon.
I have heard good things about the Fever series from numerous blogs as well as Amazon because I'm also a huge fan of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series and was searching for something similar. To be honest the only thing the Fever series and the Dresden Files series has in common is that both feature the Fae as characters prominently within the storyline but I love both series like a Mom who can love two entirely different children.

Hi M. Welcome to MM. I'm a fan of the Dresden Files too. I tweeted Butcher and told him Skin Game was fantastic, maybe a little more 'skin' next time though ahahaha. Murphy and he seem to be headed for something.
I am an addict of KMM though without a doubt I just love her books. All of them.
@SandraNice to meet you. I couldn't agree with you more about Skin Games and Harry and Karrin. I'm getting ready to start the Highlander series and am quite honestly glad I have some Moning to tide me over while I wait for Burned to come out :)

Hi bestie,
I'm so happy that you decided to join the group. What a surprise!
Hello! My name is Claudia, I am 31, from the U.S. Darkfever was offered as a free Kindle book and I was instantly hooked. I then proceeded to read all of KMM's books that I could get my hands on. I can't pick a favorite book, but my favorite character is JZB-no contest!
Hello everyone, I'm Honey, I'm almost 21 years old. I came across KMM when I saw a review of Faefever from one of my friends in GR. I was so intrigued that I just had to read it. And, from that instant, I was on a KMM reading spree. :-D :-DThere is no doubt that I LOVE JZB, but I also adore Christian MacKeltar.

Hi everyone. My name is Namita and I've started reading KMM this weekend. Have had the books on my TBR for a long time but now I'm on a major binge. Love love the Fever Series.Next in line to read are the Highlanders. I'm from Canada and am 33.

Hello, my name is Hannah, I'm 33 from maine. I found the fever series in 2011. I took a chance and am so glad I did, i couldn't put the books down. My husband kept asking me what was wrong with me (even when not reading them i was in a constant state "fever") I have yet to find anything that can top Mac and Barrons. They are my favorite couple ever. As far as my favorite book I couldn't tell you. I just loved when bad ass Mac started coming alive :)
The entire world that KMM created made me want to live there, I could see every detail she described and thought she did an amazing job. She made me want to live in the fever world, even after dreamfever haha!!

Hi! Katie here, I'm 30, currently living in Darwin, Australia.I'd just finished Cassandra Clare's Clockwork series and was looking for something new to sink my teeth into. I came across the KMM's Fever series while searching in the 'Best ADULT Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance' section of GR.
It's a close call for my favourite, there are elements of them all that I love equally. If I could take my favourite sections from each book to make one AMAZING 'Best Of' book, I would just read that over and over until the next book comes out and then I'd probably re-read the whole series (for the 3rd time) which would fill in the gaps not in my 'Best Of' book and I'd feel like being reacquainted with an old friend...*sigh.
A sure sign of how much I love a book, is how life consuming it becomes. I discovered it only a month ago, so had the benefit of not having to wait for the next book (with the exception of Burned, but that's ok...Shadowfever was thoroughly satisfying). I lost several days to this series, whereby I missed meals, went without sleep, washing went undone and I neglected my poor husband (except for the most basic, least time consuming cooking). It's very rare that a series does that to me, and I sometimes put reading them off until I feel like I can commit to it relatively guilt free, should a series be one of those life consuming beasts. I adore paranormal & fantasy in any way I can get it.
I am so happy I found this group, hopefully it will help keep my addiction under control until Burned comes out!
Feverborne release date !!!! 20 October 2015!!! KMM Facebook page!!
I saw that, Inanda! Fingers crossed we actually get it!
Yes yes Please!! It is KMM BD but it feels like mine now! I really hope she is not messing with us!
Gothcupcake you need to share some theory's with us! What do you think about Ryodan ,Dani and the infamous Jo the Ho? What is going to happen in Burned?
My name is Penny & Im 35 from Spencer, West Virginia. And I love Karen Marie Moning's "Fever" series. My favorite is Dreamfever. I was recommend this series by a library friend. And have been hooked ever since. Hope there are many more books to come in this series. I love Barrons & MacKayla. And the way they constantly bump heads.
I guess this should have been the first place I posted...oops :) Hi I'm Liz. I've been apart of this group and goodreads for a while but haven't been active until now. I'm a HUGE fan of KMM and the Fever series. I've never read a series quite like it, it has completely ruined me for other series. I'm constantly looking for the same caliber of writing, I've found a few new series I enjoy but nothing compares. I came across KMM randomly at the library about 5-6 years ago with her Highlander series and never looked back.
Um....I'm from Las Vegas, NV born and bred. I'm 32 and have been with my husband since I was 17 :) I lucked out. I've always been a proud bookworm and am grateful to have found the paranormal and urban genre. I love books that help me escape reality once in a while.
When I'm not reading I'm usually binge watching Doctor Who, Sherlock or something british. I'm obsessive like that lol
I can't pick a favorite book in the series because I can never read just one of them without reading them all. I'm emotionally invested with these characters.
I'm not sure what else to say except everyone on here that I've come in contact with is so nice and the ideas and perspectives from other people that are as obsessed as I am is brilliant. I look forward to many more discussions with all of you :)
Welcome Hazelwileyed!!! Now you need to share Burned theories!!! What do you think is going to happen?
AAAAHHHHHHH Inanda I'm not sure! I feel like we're going to get a lot of Mac fighting her inner demon (the book) and I'm really curious about what the betrayal from Barrons is going to be......I think Dani is going to have a one track mind in rescuing Christian and Ryodan will help her because he won't risk her finding him on her own and her falling for Christian out of a misguided guilt. I think Cruce will get free thanks to Margery.
I'm interested in the interaction between the Seelie Queen and UK but am not sure how it will work. He seems to have lost more of his humanity since he lost her if he ever really had any at all. She's drank from the cups more than once I'm sure and is no longer the person he fell in love with....can he love the new person and not project the past on her?
Lor's in for something obviously with that teaser...was he with a succubus?
We Care gathered all the food and is only handing it out to followers.......are they a cult or something worst?
I always speculate and end up with more questions than answers hahahha
Nice Hazelwileyed! Did you read Lor's sex scene both of them? He is with a Unsilee princess!!
No I have only read one :( Where can I find them both? I didn't realize it was an Unseelie Princess...EEEKKKKK....I was wondering when they would make an appearance.
Hi, My name is Sue. I'm 43 and live in Indiana. Was one of the early members on KM's forum. Really miss it. I think as of now I would have to say Iced is my favorite. I found one of the Highlander books in a used bookstore years ago and after reading that found every one that was available. I've been hooked ever since.

Hello,I am Pam and have been lurking here for a while. I was one of those people that were put off by the reviews of Iced saying that the book contained pedophilia. My library finally had Iced available, so I decided to check it out. There was not even a hint of pedophilia! I loved Dani; she reminds me of my 14 year old daughter. Without the super speed; thank God, but with the cockiness used to hide her insecurities.
I guess I learned my lesson about taking reviews too seriously.

I found this series through Cristina's Book Blog, I trust Cristina, she always recommend the best stuff and she has a tough taste to match. After she started obsessing about this series, I found almost ALL my friends have read it. So I started reading it and I didn't really get into it. My friends pushed me and said it gets way better, I didn't like Bloodfever either. Way too confusing, so many characters and so many things going on. But I thought I'd have to finish it to see what was everyone so crazy about. And just when I was 20% through Faefever I was HOOKED!!!! OMG!!!! I guess The first too books were more about building up the plot but in Faefever things actually start to happen. My friends were so right, not only it got better, it got REALLY GOOD, SOOOO GOOD. I Though Dreamfever was my favorite, but now I'm reading Shadowfever and and I'm in love even more with it.
What got me hooked and what made me keep reading? The back story of the Fae, the idea that they existed before us, the story about how the Unseelie King destroyed his world for a mortal female, the dreams Mac have. I love dreams and anything associated with it. I LOVE the action. I love how strong Mac is and she is not a cry baby. And of course I LOVE JZB. :D
Sorry for blabbing but I'm so excited it and can't wait to find out what happens in Shadowfever. I've only got tons of theories lol :b
