Shadowfever (Fever Series #5) by Karen Marie Moning

4/5 Stars...I guess. The ending is what brought it up from a 3 1/2 Star rating.

B&N:

Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.” MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever. Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years. What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh—a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds. In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves. Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card? From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her...

My Review:

There were definitely parts that I skimmed over. This is almost a 600 page book. In my mind, it could have been a 300-350 page book.

But there were a lot of parts that I really liked. And I was very happy with the ending. I would have believed this author would have messed that up, but she did a good job.


Spoiler alert!!!!







I was really happy how Mac and Jericho ended up together. The entire time I was pushing for them. And the way it happened was great. My heart was really with these two characters. When the author led us to believe he was dead (even though I kept thinking to myself- no way would she kills him off!), my heart hurt. I wanted more of him though. He's a great character.
