This was very different to her usual works, but none the less it was done very well, with plenty of action, magical beings, and whit.
Imagine finding out your sister has been murdered and no one seems to know by who or what. Go on a journey as you follow the sisters trail and unearth all sorts of magical creatures from old, and where better than Ireland.......

All I can say is "WOW", Karen Marie Moning never fails to surprise me! Her writing style, is as usual, brilliant (although the whole "first person" thing takes a bit to get used to!) and her storyline is very different to what I used to or expected from her. Unfortunately I do struggle to compare this work with her 'Highlander' series as this series (or book in particular) requires more imagination with it's graphically detailed images and has no sex-scenes, but is sexually powerful in another way......however, definitely a series I can recommend to all!!!

Darkfever is certainly a departure from her previous books in the Highlander series and in my opinion not nearly as well written.

This book is written in the first person, which is quite difficult to get use to and there is certainly many twists and turns with so many different and varied characters you never really get totally absorbed in the book.

I can never quite understand how Moning can keep refering to one of the main characters with his full name, very off putting.

This book is a big departure from Karen Marie Moning's usual writing style, as it's written in the first person. It's a bit disconcerting to begin with, but once you get into it, Darkfever is a lot like the Highlander series, which I personally loved so that's great! An excellent story line, intriguing characters and many twists and turns to keep the reader interested. Also, the paperback option is much cheaper than the hardcover, which is always a bonuc - a great read for under $20!! Overall: highly recommended, and I can't wait for the next book in the series!
