Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning

    

What is it about?

MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks... until something extraordinary happens.
When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death—a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone–Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed—a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae...
As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane—an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women—closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all—powerful Dark Book—because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands... 

My Thoughts...

I gave this entire series a four out of five stars.

The first book in this series was recommended to me through a recommendation swap. It is not a genre that I would normally read and I would probably have never even looked at it under other circumstances. With that said, I am so glad it was recommended to me. I really enjoyed everything about it. It simply amazes me the world and characters some people are able to create. Once I started this I couldn't put it down.
As with any series, much of the subsequent books used a lot of space to fill in the backstory of the current book. I skimmed through a lot of these parts, usually at the beginning of each novel.
If this is the first fantasy book you are considering I highly recommend it.
