    About this audiobook

    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....

      moning is known as a romance author, and that's part of the reason I put this book off, though it was a freebie amazon kindle promo - I had to be in the mood for something a little trashy. this, however, was completely not that book: sex in this world can be deadly, and there's no quick flirtation before the tumble in the sheets for this girl.

      MacKayla is a green-off-the-turnip-truck southern belle, with no more pressing concern than what shade of pink she's going to do her nails. she gets the phone call that her studying-abroad sister has been killed, and ultimately heads to Dublin herself when she thinks the police have closed the case too soon. Mac stumbles into the horrific world of the fae - inhuman predatory monsters - when she discovers she's one of the (un)lucky few that can see through their glamour to the true evil beneath.

      what's good about this book is simultaneously what's bad about this book. the heroine is, quite literally, TSTL (that's "too stupid to live" for those of you unfamiliar with standard paranormal romance tropes): she blunders in way over her head several times, necessitating rescue in one manner or another, and hearing her prattle on about revlon iceberrry pink polish became annoying quickly. that being said, it was refreshing to have a main character that was an actual real person, not an instant super-badass, not someone who blithely accepts a whole new supernatural world in an eyeblink. all of the main characters are complexly flawed, leaving no one obvious to root for as the knight in shining armor, but leaving everything intriguingly mysterious. it doesn't end with a cliffhanger, though none of the major plot points are tied up.

      in short, the whole book feels like an extended prologue to the series. it's written in a future-tense first person, as though Mac is reading you her journal a year or two after the fact, giving you glimpses into the stronger, harder woman she will become. as long as that promise of character development comes through, and this intro remains the weakest in the series, the rest will be well worth getting into.

      From My Blog...Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning is the first book in The MacKayla Lane series. Mac’s life is forever changed on July 9 when she learns her older sister Alina was murdered in Dublin. Determined to find out who could have done such a thing, 22-year-old Mac quits her job, drops out of college, and cashes in her savings and heads to Ireland where she hopes to learn what her sister meant in her last message about being deceived and about the Sinsar Dubh. Darkfever chronicles the year Mac spends in Ireland and the knowledge she learns through Fiona and Jericho Barrons. Moning writes a fast-paced novel which is easy to read and oddly compelling, especially considering I do not believe in any sort of magic, otherworlds and the like. Typically I have no interest in this subject matter and yet toward the end of the book I found myself wanting to read the second book, Bloodfever in hopes of having some of my questions answered about Fiona and Barrons. Mac makes an unfortunate heroine, as she is an extremely immature 22 year old. As the book opens, the reader is not aware of her age and I had guessed she was a spoiled and pampered 14 year old. It is my hope that as the books continue I will hear less and less about the various shades of pink she paints her fingernails and toenails and more about her. Aside from her petulance for all things pink and the oddities of the Unseelie, Moning does write an intriguing story of good verses evil and the possible extinction of humankind, so much so that I am indeed looking forward to reading Bloodfever in hopes of gaining insight and answers. I was delightfully surprised that I was pulled into the story, and thrilled there is a mini-glossary of terms for those of us who do not typically read this genre. I would recommend Darkfever to anyone intrigued by the world of the Fae.

      Inhaltsangabe:MacKayla Lane, von allen Mac genannt, ist eine unbeschwerte junge Frau, die knallige Mode und Musik liebt. Doch ihre glückliche kleine Welt in Ashford, Georgia, wird jäh zerstört, als ihre Schwester Alina in Dublin bestialisch ermordet aufgefunden wird.In ihrer tiefen Trauer reist Mac nach Irland, um den Mörder ihrer Schwester zu finden. Doch kaum hat sie irischen Boden betreten, passieren merkwürdige Dinge: In einem Pub sieht sie anstelle eines Adonis‘ ein furchterregendes Monster und eine alte Frau keift sie an, sie solle dahin gehen, wo sie hergekommen ist, ehe sie ermordet wird.Mac versucht sich einen Reim drauf zu machen, doch erst der starke und überaus attraktive Buchhändler Jericho Barrons kann ihr Hilfe bieten. Doch kann sie ihm wirklich trauen? Was verbirgt er vor ihr und welche Geheimnisse warten noch auf Mac? Und wer ist Alinas Mörder?Mein Fazit:Nun, der Hype um Vampir-Romane ist ja inzwischen deutlich abgeebbt und ich habe diesen Hype kaum an mich heran gelassen. Einzig die Twilight-Saga habe ich natürlich gelesen und an so etwas ähnliches hatte ich gehofft, würde ich in diesem Buch auch finden.Nun ja, ist es nicht, soviel kann ich sagen. Es geht um ziemlich dunkle und uralte Mächte, den hellen und dunklen Feen, köngliche Häuser, Kasten, Monster und Schatten. Und der Ursprung des ganzen Übels und weshalb Alina wohl vermutlich ermordet wurde, ist das Buch Sinsar Dubh. Es soll vor einer Millionen Jahren von einem dunklen Lord geschrieben worden sein und hat unbeschreibliche Macht. Mac stellt sehr schnell fest, dass Barrons, ihr Mentor und Beschützer, ebenfalls hinter diesem Buch her ist. Den Mac hat die besondere Gabe, als Sidhe-Seherin die Feen-Objekte zu erspüren. Und so scheint es, dass Barrons sie genau wegen dieser Fähigkeit ausnutzt und seine wahre Identität kaum preis gibt.Der Anfang war stark und sehr emotional. In einem Rutsch konnte ich die 140 Seiten nahezu verschlingen. Die Diskussionen mit den Eltern um ihre Reise, die Ankunft in Dublin und ihre Erlebnisse waren wirklich sehr spannend. Doch dann flachte es ab. Warum? Barrons zeigt Mac die Nacht-Unterwelt von Dublin, auf der Suche nach Feen-Objekten oder gar nach diesem mächtigen Buch. Dabei scheint er sich mit Mac schmücken zu wollen. Das missfällt ihr natürlich. Sie fühlt sich benutzt, ist sich gleichzeitig aber auch bewußt, dass sie ohne ihn wahrscheinlich schon längst ebenso ermordet wäre wie ihre Schester. Und auch wenn es Abweichungen gab, so kamen mir die Nächte in der Unterwelt irgendwie alle gleich vor. Und dann sind da noch die merkwürdigen Feen, die durch ihre sexuell-potente Ausstrahlung Mac dazu bringen können, sich an Ort und Stelle auszuziehen und bereit zu empfangen – egal wo sie sich gerade befindet. Das finde ich nicht wirklich erotisch oder spannend, schade!Im weiteren Verlauf wird die Geschichte um die Feen und Monster ziemlich verwirrend, weil so viele Dinge dazu kommen, dass ich dann irgendwann aufgab, genauer darüber nachzudenken. Gott sei Dank hat die Autorin einen Glossar am Ende erstellt, so kann man es noch einmal nachlesen. Wenn ich ehrlich bin, kamen soo viele Vampire nicht darin vor. Nun gut, was ja nicht ist, kann ja noch werden. Den zweiten Teil der Reihe werde ich dann auch bald lesen, vielleicht werden da einige Fragen beantwortet.Dieser bekommt leider nur 3 Sterne, aber ich hoffe auf Besserung in den Fortsetzungen.

      Read this years ago and loved it. Still do. I've forgotten so much of the story!
      It's steamy which I liked years ago. Now, I think Ive read it all. Anyhoo, the chemistry between sassy and smart Mac and the enigmatic Barons is strong and I really love their bond getting stronger. Can't wait to continue.
    • 2/5
      I'm not crazy about the story line, but I'm thinking it has to do with the audio narration. It's absolutely horrible. The main male character sounds like some pervy leprechaun. It's very distracting. The story itself is just odd and uncomfortable.

      This was difficult for me to really get into until the end but now I am looking forward to reading the next one.

    • 5/5
      Excellent! This is the original fae love story, before it became trendy. I love the world Moning has created. It's a slow burn, but this is written far better than the trendy fae romance ACOTAR. The story was interesting and left me craving more!

      The narrator does a wonderful job as well. She keeps it interesting.
    • 4/5
      I ended up reading this series and loved it! But this audio book just doesn't do it for me. The narrator doesn't sound anything close to 20 years old like the protagonist. Her male imitation used to voice Barrons (male lead) is just cringe worthy. He sounds like a leprechaun grandpa, literally not sexy in any way.
    • 3/5
      I had a hard time with the audiobook. I wonder if I'd like reading it on a device better. It did hold my interest and I will keep going through the series, but I may switch to ebook through Amazon. I really wish Scribd had e-Ink files for my Kindle Paperwhite.

      Karen Moning is a phenomenal writer. She takes the world of fairy and shows its dark side with TEETH! I love her style and the way she makes you realize that these creatures are definitely NOT Tinkerbell. Do not read these books expecting fairy dust and wings, you will be sadly disappointed. These books pack PUNCH and Mikayla is a whole new heroine that keeps your heart pumping! Not to mention that her relationship with Jericho Barrons is so steamy you just can't stop reading!

      Even though the title and the cover are not enticing, I'm glad I invested my time in this book. I enjoyed it so much more than other famous and overhyped PR books. And I'm ready to dive into Moning's world!
    • 3/5
      I'm still getting to know this author and I'm very intrigued by the world she's created. The book had a bit of a YA feel and was very much like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets the Fae, but it was alright. I liked Mac, but I wanted more substance and strength to her character. I'm hoping as I get into the next books she matures a bit. Barrons is an interesting individual and I'm curious to find out exactly who and what he is.

      The writing style in the book was easy enough to follow, but at times bordered on info dumping. I think it is more a case of "first-in-seriesitis" than the actual writing. Moning does a great job of creating fascinating worlds in her Highlander series. Considering this book ended without any resolution, I think the best is yet to come. I'll continue the series.
    • 5/5
      Darkfever is the first in a series of four books by Karen Marie Moning. The series, "Fever," takes MacKayla Lane from her shelted life in a provincial Georgia town to Ireland, where she seeks vengence for the murder of Alina, her older sister. Mac quickly finds out that she is about to play a major role in a world she never knew existed. She is swept up in the world of the fae, and as a sidhe-seer, she is one of the few humans who can see them. As she scrambles across Ireland in an attempt to fulfil her sister's last request, she quickly learns that she is outmatched and is forced to team up with Jericho Barrons, a bookstore owner who is not quite what he seems.The book is humorous, equal parts "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and the Southern Vampire Mysteries (True Blood). While amusing, the series does touch on some very serious issues and at times can be very dark. Fans of Moning's Highlander series will be pleased to see a few characters make cross-over cameos (but make no mistake, these books are very different in tone). I highly recommend this books to those of you who love reading about the fae, Ireland, strong women and urban fantasy. This book is a page-turner and will keep you fully engaged.There are currently four books in the series, with the fifth and final book hitting bookstores December 7, 2010.
    • 3/5
      I heard such great things about this book and it was recommended to me by more than one person so I was really hoping that I would like it a lot more than I did.

      What was good: The audio book narrator was wonderful. She had the perfect, and I mean PERFECT Georgia accent for MacKayla Lane. A lot of what got me through the book was the great narration. The plot was interesting, Mackayla makes her way to Ireland in search of her sister's murderer and finds out that everything she believed about herself and the world was wrong and that she really didn't know too much about her sister at all. She meets some pretty awful characters/things/creatures and a few fairly rude "friends" along the way. The effects that certain fae have on humans were quite interesting. There is one particular scene in the museum that had me laughing out loud. All in all, the plot was intriguing enough to get me from start to finish while keeping my attention.

      But it wasn't amazing. When I stopped listening, I didn't find myself eager to get back to it so I could find out what happens next. I think that a lot of my problem with this book comes down to my love of traditional fantasy, and although I do like a unique re-imagining of things, I simply cannot buy into the "fae are aliens" thing. I honestly did not like that aspect of the book at all and is the main reason why I won't be continuing the series. I had no issues with the writing itself. I didn't find it to be overly descriptive, the dialog fit with the situations and wasn't overdone. Even the fact that Mackayla talked a lot about her clothes and could be a bit immature, I felt that would most likely lead to her really growing as a character in later books.

      So, for anyone who would enjoy a book where the fae are aliens and some come in a many-armed many-mouthed variety, I would recommend this book. Its simply not for me.
    • 3/5
      I'll be honest, I didn't appreciate nor enjoy this one as much as others seemed to.

      It was entertaining, and at times enjoyable, but a bit bland in places. And, for the love of all that is holy, I do not want to read a page and half description of yet another horrendous outfit. We get it, she looks like an atrocious rainbow that used to have long blonde hair and now has short black hair. I for one, do not care!

      On to next and let's see if I can find my love for this series underneath all those disgusting items of clothing...

      For a reading challenge on Goodreads, I was to read Darkfever. Now for a few years I have hesitated in reading this series, despite all the high reviews, because I had read her highlander series and I knew that this Fae series is quite opposite from it, and I was right. I obtained Darkfever through Audible, and this is the first time I had such a difficult time staying with a story, now I know that it isn't just the format. I was expected a romance based novel, and Darkfever isn't really like that in any form. After reading her highlander series, I was expecting a similar tone, but Darkfever totally blew me away in the difference it is from anything else I have read from her. I didn't get fully into it until the last third of the story. I kept with it for one, that it was for a reading challenge and I try as much as possible to stick with a story, and that there is a reason this series is so popular. I would categorize this as just paranormal fiction, there isn't much romance until the very end. After reading Darkfever, I understand where the author is going with it, and I understand better now why she has written it in the way she has, but it was so different from what I even imagined. I don't know if I am the only one that struggled in any form with this one, but I did and even though I enjoyed it quite a bit by the very end, it took a little over five hours of listening before I starting feeling engaged with the story. I am rating this higher than I normally would because the writing is stellar just its form is far different than I expected and I think that's why I struggled so much with it.Darkfever is a story that introduces a world of dark and dangerous creatures that surround millions of people they just can't see the danger to them. I definitely wouldn't want this world to ever be real. I did love the suspense aspect to the story. There is quite a bit of a high intensity level for the story and I did like that. However I was expecting a high romance level, and it is very low. I am hoping that in the next books in the series, the romance level will be raised more. Despite by negative opinion on this story, there were some aspects I really liked. I loved seeing two totally opposite men involved in Mac's life. The characters are very realistic and vividly written, so you can't help but be drawn toward them. It did take a while to adjust to the narrator, but after a little while, I started to enjoy her inflections in the narrative.Overall a tale that brings the reader into a world packed full of intense danger and fantasy, a story to get the blood thumping and one that will leave you aching in anticipation for the next installment.

      A pretty middle of the road, all right read, marred by an extremely annoying heroine. I didn't hate her. She wasn't TSTL or anything, but she was Barbie. I often complain about the lack of diversity in UF/PNR heroines. And more than once I've referred to a character as generically Barbie-like. I think this is the first such book that I've read that openly described the character that way, as Barbie. Not just as a slender, busty blond with a love of all things shiny, pink and soft, but as "Barbie."

      The character is well aware of her appealing physical attributes too. It felt a bit like seeing the most popular girl in school get to be the world-saving hero too—just unfair really. And I'm not just being judgemental either. I could have handled all that, if I didn't find her bouncy personality (and often described step), pearl-draped, pink cashmere clad Princess Pastel Rainbow voice so darned annoying.

      On the other hand, the dark, dangerous maybe-hero Jericho was nearly enough to redeem the book for me. Too bad he spent most of the book being such a dick. By the end, I was starting to warm up to him. But it took a while.

      In the end, I'm torn. My local library has all these books, so I have easy free access to read them. And I'm curious about what might happen. But I don't know if I can really be bothered.

      I'd probably give this a 3.5 stars. The premise wad interesting but I thought the main character was kind of annoying and I didn't love the narrator.
    • 4/5
      The beginning of this book reminded me so much of Veronica Mars, in fact, I even pictured Kristen Bell as the main character. Mac is on a mission to find her sister's killer, much like Veronica's quest to find her best friends killer. Her sister Alina was a young woman who found herself in a dangerous situation and relationship, believing she was in love with a man who she knew mostly nothing about. But that is where most of the similarities end. Unless there was an alternate season on VM where she deals with crazy creatures from another realm.Mac is quite a paradox, being a fashionista and brightly-colored-clothes-hor who brushes her hair 100 strokes like freakin Marsha Brady, and an exotic car enthusiast with a dash of rough and tumble, or in other words: Supernatural Barbie, who kicks wicked Unseelie ass by the way. The long-time-coming fight scenes were sa-weet and unraveled like a movie in your mind!Now, I must warn some of you that she may come off as annoying at first. This is intentional, as to see how much Mac changes by the end. This is Mac 1.0 and the least awesome of her many versions.I love her theory about men who wear all black: They either want to be trouble or they are trouble. They are also my favorite!! Angel, Spike (isn't it amazing how the characters from the Buffyverse don't really even need more than one name?), Damon Salvatore, Johnny Cash, etc...Despite the fact that I kept thinking the name Mac Barrons sounds like a male porn star name, I liked both MacKayla Lane and Jericho Barrons. Though her calling him Barrons weirds me out a little. Jericho is a much better sounding name.Her whole cussing system is fecking hilarious. I was raised without curse words as well and though I cuss at times now, more often than not I inadvertently fall back on my "substitutes". One of them being the same as hers and my fave: Fudge Bucket. My repertoire has been expanding over the years through many different sources: since reading Leviathan - Barking Spiders!, watching Craig Ferguson - Oh Biscuits!, Chelsea Handler's pickachu, and save the best for last - Frak! If you don't know what that's from, I feel sorry for you that you've never had the pleasure of watching BSG.The description of Barrons Books and Baubles was perfect to the point that it sparked a great debate inside my head. The nature of that debate was trying to determine which body part I would be willing to give up to visit such a place. Not sure I would give up a kidney, but the appendix did not seem worthy enough. I determined the acceptable sacrifice would be my belly-button. Yeah, I would totally give up my innie (and I am rather attached to it) and rock it Kyle XY-style to visit Barrons Books and Baubles. That store sounds amazing!The way she acted around death-by-sex-Fae-guy-whose-name-I-don't-like-either was thoroughly entertaining. I was actually surprised she didn't swell up with a hysterical pregnancy and start lactating right there in the middle of the museum. Geez. Those parts of the book didn't do anything for me but cause a fit of the giggles.If forced to choose one word to describe this book, it would be "consistent". It was easy to read and never lulled or grew too suspenseful. The story stayed in a constant state of intrigue.I'm greatly looking forward to the next, which I think I might pick up in just a few seconds. Mostly, I'm looking forward to some bow-chicka-wow-wow between Mac and Jericho. Aaaah, will I ever get used to calling him Barrons?EDIT: There is something I want to clear up. Just something that I noticed a lot of people have been making comments about. Everyone keeps referring to the Fae as being aliens, which is not entirely accurate. There is only one mention of the Fae being "aliens" and it is in a snarky remark and assumption made by Mac. Barrons doesn't actually confirm the remark, like usual, he just answers her with a question "You didn't think they were natives, did you?" The Fae are in no way ET or the Buggers. They are an inter-dimensional race, not at all unlike most mythology about the Fae or demons or other supernatural beings. Just like in Buffy. I know, it's a shocker that I brought that show into this conversation. I NEVER do that.But if you love Buffy and her forbidden relationships, then you will love this series. The first book is by far the most lackluster, but it is still good. Stick with it. Each consecutive book gets better and better. An amazing series!! A must read for paranormal fans.

      i felt like this jumped into the “we’re going to war we need more sidhe-seers pronto!!” too quickly at the end (idk i think i was expecting a crazier cliff hanger than that)

      i really enjoyed this though! i’ve been meaning to read it forever and i randomly checked it out from the library just to try and i’m glad it was as good as it is!! and a decently long series too
