It’s wet, it’s dark, it’s old, it’s full of legends and weird cobbled streets. I went to grad school in Dublin, and the city is absolutely perfect for a creepy urban fantasy. If I’d known that this novel was set in Ireland, I would have likely read it a long time ago.
The world, atmosphere and setting in Darkfever is top-notch. Together, they seek out the seediest of Dublin’s fae underbelly while Mac discovers her own unique abilities. She stumbles into a hidden side of Dublin, and eventually (albeit under duress) teams up with the mysterious Jericho Barrons. Darkfever follows southern bell, aspiring Barbie MacKayla (Mac) as she travels to Ireland to pressure the local authorities to further investigate her sister’s murder.
The Fever series has been recommended to me by a number of folks, most recently Tatiana of The Readventurer and Goodreads fame, who answered my desperate plea for a good adult read (I get sucked into the YA rabbit-hole easily).
Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series is a favorite of Urban Fantasy fans-and I can see why-but I was left both intrigued and frustrated.
