The Fever series is one of the best series I've read. I was going to post reviews on each book but then I ended up devouring book after book in the series that I didn't really have time to pause and write one up. I didn't really want to either. I just gobbled one book after the other. I regret nothing.
MacKayla Lane's beloved sister, Alina, is brutally murdered in Ireland. No leads regarding the murderer turns up so the Garda (Irish police) is forced to close the case. Determined to exact revenge, MacKayla goes to Ireland and investigate all she can find about the murder. Instead, she discovers a deeper secret about herself and the world she thought she knew.
Mac is a sidhe-seer, able to see the Fae that has begun to roam our world. She also has the rare gift of being able to sense Fae Objects of Power, most importantly the Sinsar Dubh. The Snsar Dubh holds power and knowledge to make and unmake worlds. Many dangerous people has been looking for this evil Book for centuries and would stop at nothing to get the advantage on this deadly hunt. Mac teams up with the enigmatic Jericho Barrons to find the evil book, in exchange for knowledge on protection against the Fae and help to find Alina's murderer.

I have to admit, I didn't love the first book the series, Darkfever. I didn't think it was great, just good enough for me to want to read the second book. I don't normally enjoy novels including Fae. I guess it's just the inner Disney kid in me that always see fairies as sparkly, fun-loving tiny creatures that die every time a child says "I don't believe in fairies". The Fae in the Fever series are the complete opposite of that. They are dark, deadly and literally oozes sexuality. And I absolutely loved it. I was pulled by the evilness of their core. It was probably time for me to grow out of Peter Pan, anyway (I'm never going to). The different Courts and castes of the Fae were interesting and very well-developed.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like Mac as a heroine. Born and bred Southern belle, I found her quite tiresome in the beginning of the series. She was extremely vain and her obsession with varying shades of pink nail polish was just ridiculous.
I used to be your average, everyday girl but all that changed one night in Dublin when I saw my first Fae, and got dragged into a world of deadly immortals and ancient secrets. . .
