I had some reservations about taking two books with me, but I'm glad I did! After finishing BloodFever, I don't know if I could have handled a three-day wait to start the next book.
Mac continues her adventure in Dublin, settling in at Barron's Books and Baubles, taking over the running of the shop and keeping the Shades at bay. She knows now who killed her sister, and what happens when she gets too close to the mysterious sinsar dubh that everyone wants, and only she can find.”
“The 2nd book was even better than the first...it is a fun series!!!”

Yes | No“I used to think my sister and I were just two nice southern girls who'd get married in a few years and settle down to a quiet life. Then I discovered that Alina and I descend, not from good wholesome southern stock, but from an ancient Celtic bloodline of powerful sidhe-seers, people who can see the Fae. Not only can I see the terrifying otherworldly race, but I can sense the sacred Fae relics that hold the deadliest of their magic. When my sister was found dead in a trash-filled alley in Dublin, I came over to get answers. Now all I want is revenge. And after everything I've learned about myself, I know I have the power to get it.... MacKayla Lane's ordinary life underwent a complete makeover when she landed on Ireland's shores and was plunged into a world of deadly sorcery and ancient secrets. In her fight to stay alive, Mac must find the Sinsar Dubh-a million-year-old book of the blackest magic imaginable, which holds the key to power over both the worlds of the Fae and of Man. Pursued by Fae assassins, surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two deadly and irresistible men: V'lane, the insatiable Fae who can turn sensual arousal into an obsession for any woman, and the ever-inscrutable Jericho Barrons, a man as alluring as he is mysterious. For centuries the shadowy realm of the Fae has coexisted with that of humans. Now the walls between the two are coming down, and Mac is the only thing that stands between them....

“Mac’s life has changed from spoiled rich brat, to an almost hard core server. In this one she find more people like her, old enemies return, and new questions are formed. V’lane is still in the picture, and the two go on a little trip that last longer then planned. Barrons tells thing that you may have guessed at, new Hallows, new fey. More issues, what the old women tells Mac, who’s side is Barrons on, and on top of that Mac learns what real pain is. Buried deep in the earth Mac leans something about herself, there’s a not nice Mac and she has a case of blood lust. She still flirts with boys, Barrons is too inquiring about her activities, and some fatherly concern comes into play. Oh, and if one more person asks if she’s had sex with V’lane, I say she should give the death by sex fey a try. ”

Her stories are so much more complex and intricate then your average bodice ripper. I love how she threads mythology, history and science throughout her stories. An added bonus is that she is an exception story-teller and a wonderfully detailed and engrossing writer.”

After Macs brush with death in Darkfever, she has been recuperating at Barrons Books and Baubles. Her brief respite ends, when Inspector Duffy, the guarda investigating her sisters death comes to find her. It would appear that he has come to realise there is more to the case than meets the eye. Unfortunately his realisation costs him his life. With the Guarga on her tail, and the order of Sidhe-seers trying to recruit her Mac has never been so uncertain of who she can trust.
Her uneasy relationship with Barrons has reached an awkward plateau, where neither really tell each other the truth, about anything, including their growing feelings for one another.
The question is, just who can Mac trust? ”
