NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

They may have stolen my past, but I’ll never let them take my future.

When the walls between Man and Fae come crashing down, freeing the insatiable, immortal Unseelie from their icy prison, MacKayla Lane is caught in a deadly trap. Captured by the Fae Lord Master, she is left with no memory of who or what she is: the only sidhe-seer alive who can track the Sinsar Dubh, a book of arcane black magic that holds the key to controlling both worlds.

Clawing her way back from oblivion is only the first step Mac must take down a perilous path, from the battle-filled streets of Dublin to the treacherous politics of an ancient, secret sect, through the tangled lies of men who claim to be her allies into the illusory world of the Fae themselves, where nothing is as it seems—and Mac is forced to face a soul-shattering truth.

Who do you trust when you can’t even trust yourself?

4.0 out of 5 stars Page turner as usual BUT... August 24, 2009

By S. de Freitas

Format:Hardcover

Okay, I love, love, love any work by Karen Marie Moning. I think she has a gift for creating enthralling, sexy page turners and I'm completely addicted to the Fever series. I was desperate for each and every novel's release and I devoured DreamFever in a little over 6 hours... BUT, the unanswered questions and cliff hangers are getting - nope, scratch that, ARE - tiresome. I felt the same way after Faefever and it's only been amplified by the unsatisfactory ending of Dreamfever. I realized that, once again, questions that were initiated in Book 1 are still NOT resolved in Book 4 and [naturally] we get some NEW questions. If I were a man, I'd say Karen is pretty adept at giving me an extreme case of literary blue balls. I felt sort of betrayed and tired at the end of DreamFever - I'm dying to know the official status of Jericho and Mac's relationship [and I agree with another poster - I don't care what he did or what kind of monster he is - I want them to wind up together soo badly - with maybe 1 little detour in V'Lane's bed before their HEA, lol]. I'm tired of books where it ends with Mac in a horrid situation and you don't know who's going to rescue her - hopefully herself for once. All that aside, though, the book is a fun, quick read and leaves you parched for more. Mac is developing into an even better kick a$$ character although I wonder if she strays a little too far to the dark side... there were some virtues to pink Mac I think. Much to the publisher's delight, I'll definitely buy the next book, but I wish I'd never laid eyes on this series until all 5 cursed books were on the shelves. I'm also a shade dubious about Karen cramming and resolving everything neatly in this 5th book since she didn't do it in 4. So instead of 5 stars, I'm gonna have to subtract 1 because my immediate reaction after finishing this novel was utter disappointment for all the reasons noted above. I hope to God they don't make us wait another year for ShadowFever. Give me a short story or something in the interim, PLEASE!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Little progress, lots of repetition. August 26, 2009

By Christine

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

First off, I love Karen Marie Moning's books for the most part. All except the last two. I loved all of her earlier books because they were new, well-paced, humorous, mystical, romantic and just plain fantastic. When I started reading the Fever series I was surprised at her turn to the dark side of the Fae, but I trustingly went along for the ride.
Books one and two were new for me (I rarely read dark-themed books) but once I got used to that I thought they were pretty good. In the last two books however, things seem to have gotten very repetitive. Mac has gone from perfectly matched, polished, beautiful, and blonde in pink and rainbows to lean, jagged,scruffy, rough and now Mac in black...got it already, can we move on now? There are more monsters in the Unseelie world than will ever be known, and they all keep getting more and more horrific. Again, got it...over and over and over again. Can we move on here also?
She still hasn't gotten answers regarding Barrons, V'lane, the Sinsar Dubh, her own place as a player on the board etc. Nothing really seems to have progressed at all in the last two books. She still in the same dilemma, going in the same direction, dealing with the same major issues and still in the same dark as usual. The author just keeps changing the physical locations and the appearances of the monsters. The story just doesn't seem to be developing and growing anymore. Enough already. I just want to get to the end.
I think this story would have been way better if it had been kept to 3 books at most. I will be far more cautious about investing in future series by Ms Moning. Sadly, this one is becoming very long, disappointing and expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! The Suspense is rising up toward a conclusion that is sure to rattle the pages of the next/final book. August 18, 2009

By V. Miller

When I first read Darkfever I was stunned at how much it differed from KMM's Highlander series. It wasn't a single volume romance. It was in first person. WTH happened? My initial shock preceded my appreciation of the story. I reread it. I loved it. By the second book we see a dynamic change in Mac as a character. She goes from being a barbie, too stupid to live almost, to being strong. To being extremely interesting. To being a character that women could look up to.

Dreamfever picks up from where Faefever leaves off. Mac is at the worst place in her life one could be. When she is able to get back into the fight, she really does. Gone is the barbie doll of the past for good, now she is a living weapon seeking revenge.

So what if her story takes 5 books rather than 1. Would you rather have a huge story condensed into one book and lose half the dynamics of the character changes? Or would you rather have the complete and total story?

Questions are being answered, leaving just enough left over (plus a few new ones) to be answered in the final book. No the books are not Harry Potter, nor do they try to be. Karen Marie Moning is a brilliant woman with incredible talent for story telling. Dreamfever is probably the best in the series, with each book getting better than the last. I am not going to give away plot details in this review as I feel it takes away from the reading experience. But let it be said that the story will grip you, and when you reach the final page you will be ready for more!
