Faefever (Fever, Book 3)

I actually started reading Moning because of the Fever series. It was recommended by some people who were blown away by this book so I figured I'd give it a try. I liked Darkfever, but I think the books have gotten better with each one.

I can understand people being frustrated with the cliffhanger ending. It's certainly not happy. And I recommend that anyone who can't stand a gut-punching cliffie wait until all the books have been written to start the series.

But I did think this was the best one of the series so far. I suppose we reran a few things from the first two books, but I disagree that this was a retread. A series arc necessitates a little bit of reminding, and I thought she did well with adding a little bit of new info every time.

I agree with many that this is not a romance series. It probably shouldn't be categorized as such, but that's really to be taken up with the bookstores and publisher. I don't care much about the romance template (although I am interested in romantic developments down the road) so the fact there's no HEA in each book is not a problem for me. But if you're a person who much prefers the traditional romance story line with an HEA at the end, this series is probably not for you.

I recommend this series to people who like PN fiction. Don't expect the same experience you've had with the Highlander series, which is very much in the romance formula.

I wish the wait weren't so long for the next one, but I came into this knowing it was an incomplete series with a cliffhanger so if I were to be angry about it, I'd be angry at myself. Otherwise, good luck to Ms. Moning in her writing endeavors. :)

I was so eager for this book and it is a total disappointment. It is not even worth a one star rating.

The author spends three quarter of the book retelling the plot lines of the last 2 books. I thought it would get better, no so. The cliffhanger ending left me speechless. What the heck?!?

I refuse to spend any more of my time and money when it is obvious they are just out to make a quick buck. SHAME, SHAME, Ms. Moning, you are cheating your readers. I am taking you off my "must-read" list.

I really enjoyed the first books that Karen wrote. In fact I enjoyed them so much I shared them with friends and with my mother. But I find myself a little uncomfortable sharing this series. Okay, So the first two were okay, I enjoy the story line and the mythical creatures, but really wish we could get on with the romance and stop dragging it out so much. It is seriously torture to keep being left with these cliffhangers. Why not just write one big book and put it out all at once and spare the readers the drag out.

Finally though I have to say I have a major problem with this series, and that is the seeming romanticizing of rape. It's not cool, it's not sexy and it's never acceptable. So the sex has been edgier here and there and I was saying well okay in the first two books with the edgier sex implications it was a little harsh but not so bad. But I am sickened [Spoiler] that this series ended with a gang bang. It was upsetting and unsettling, I didn't enjoy reading it. Even if you want to argue that its part of the story line and it will change...blah, blah, blah and it won't be treated as acceptable. Did the book really have to end that way? Yeah, that's what I wanted to fall asleep with on my mind.

So while I had held out hope that things would get better as the story progressed. The last rape scene has me totally turned off and I think I'm done with this story line. It wasn't sexy, it wasn't sex, it was rape. I'm just not cool with that in my stories.

Faefever was great, you just want to read more and more. Of course the ending was a twist, but hey she can't always not commit.
Sometimes you have to go there to be able to succeed in the end.
Can't wait for the next series. Come on KMM write faster, faster. . .

I was excited to read this book after Bloodfever. After seeing the book at the end of the last story, Mac has figured out how it is getting around and has an idea on how to track it but the murders that it is causing. She uses the detective that is following her around to find it. She feeds him fae flesh. Unfortunately it works too well, he starts to be addicted to it.

Now everyone starts trying to get Mac's attention to focus only on them and the book. She starts playing each person in her own way. But then learns that the border between Seelie and us is about to fall. So, she is also trying to work out deals between people to try to strengthen it.

I have to say that I hated how this book ended. It's not the typical happy ending, but I almost have no desire to continue reading. There seems to be no more point. I'm sure that it will work out on it's own, but really. Disappointed!!!
