I adored the characters and boy are there a cast of them. Jericho Barrons, the inimitable owner of Barrons Books and Baubles. How can you not love the name. Oh, his middle initial? Z. Love! His stuffiness and total respect of MacKayla (she is Ms. Lane to him) is endearing. Although the heat between Mac and Barrons is palpable. He walks into a room and you know that Mac wants to rip her clothes off and fling herself at him.
But she has V'Lane for that. He is Death-by-Sex fae and he turns it on whenever he wants to. Mac will strip in the middle of the street for V'Lane. She will do things in front of people that most people won't do behind closed doors!
And this brings us to book two. Thankfully, both books were out when I started reading them. It would suck that I would have to wait for book three. The first three books were produced in Mass Market Paperback, so for a couple of dollars, I could run to the local store or supermarket to pick them up. But I got the first two at the library. I'm not sure about the third book, I might have that one here. I'll have to check.
We still have no clue how or why Alina Lane died, but we know that Mac is important in finding a very old book called the sinsar dubh. Barrons wants it, and he will go to the very extremes to get it and it seems as if Mac is the only person who can track it. Whenever she comes into contact with it, she gets physically ill. Kinda reminds me of the original Buffy where if a vampire was around she'd get all crampy in the mid region. Vampires suck if they make you have period cramps!
By the time we get to book three, we know that Halloween is going to be the day when the Seelie and Unseelie wil

This is not a review per se, just a bunch of ramblings about my love of everything Fever series. I had never read a Karen Marie Moning book, but knew that she wrote the Highlander series. My mother, I believe, adores that series. She likes the time-traveling books, I'm okay with them, but I prefer urban fantasy in the now. I believe I first heard of the Fever series by my friend Kenda. When we were huge into our Black Dagger Brotherhood phase. So I went to the library and lo and behold, they had the first book there!
