News Alert!! KMM: (Mar-2016) "FEVERSONG is the final conclusion for the entire 9 books Fever Series. In FEVERSONG, I wrap up what I began a decade ago in DARKFEVER.
I
recently signed with Random House to do two more books set in the Fever
World, to be published after FEVERSONG but they are different.
FEVERSONG is the end of many things. http://karenmoning.com/uncategorized/ask-kmm-march-2016/ "2
Me: Whaaat?
Oh--NOOOOOO!!! This is
like a friend died!!
My heart is breaking, I love ALL these characters sooo much!! They are all so majestic. Tell me it's not true!! Real-life relationships take a lot more work, time, and sometimes it's a slow-fermentation in a wine barrel while the other characters ride to the front of the stage.
Mac and Barrons I absolutely adore. Barrons has been a cranky old-bachelor & alone so long, I'm sure he, Mac or their dangerous circumstances is capable of destroying their relationship a few more times--allowing them to break-up, "re-earn", reboot it & super-hot-make-ups. I'd love to see them keep reappearing, revisiting the series.
I'd love to see Cruce & Darroc create and earn their own redemptions after a long, humiliating and painful comeuppance. (God knows, there's two ways for Darroc to come back, either through "the Book" or all that Unseelie fae-flesh he ate.) Both, in their alien ways sometimes tried surprisingly very hard to do what they think the "right thing", even if it didn't fit with Human standards, of which, they are pretty clueless about. Humans have only been around for a microsecond of Fae existence, it'd be like us worrying what the bacteria thinks of us, so Cruce or Darroc spending even a microsecond considering the human race or individual humans is huge sign for their future potentials.
I'd love to see more Dani, Ryo, LOR!!! (OMG-LOR!), Kasteo, MacKeltars, Dageus, Christian, Dancer, Kat, and Jo (she's proved to be quite a little hilarious manipulator), interspersed throughout the books to stretch-out the Fever-universe.
I'm hoping I get to see all the characters get the chance or the luxury to experience real-life issues no matter how everyday-mundane they seem to us: Pregnancies, Kids, houses, in-laws, and baddies that swoop-in and attack during life's-vulnerabilities. And, IF or how they can train themselves out of their knee-jerk homicidal ways if people get "too close".

love-love this series and the Fever-universe that the author has
created. The dialogue is fun, characters are well done, the imagery is
epic, movie-like and amazing. The imagery flying with the hunters or
with the ancient Fae king are wonderful. I understand Mac, the initial main character is on a self-growth-journey. Book #1 she is very sheltered and child-like, is a Barbie-doll/Legally Blonde cliche, has a lot of growing-up to-do, and she does develop further. Also, all the other characters are as well. I'm hoping they all get their chances for growth, which to be believable, can't happen over-night or in a one-book-wrapup. |

Review & a touch of Spoiler |
| Darkfever (Fever, #1) published 2006 ISBN 978-0-440-24098-3 |
Per KMM
Blog: 1 Begin Story Arc #1 1 |
MacKayla, a purposely very-sheltered, Barbie-pink obsessed/Legally Blonde cliche girl’s world is shattered when her sister is murdered. When the murder investigation hits quicksand, she, the pink-Southern-Belle-avenger, storms Ireland to see if she can start making-it-happen. She runs into more than she dreamed of: a dangerous, dark & handsome man (Jerricho Barrons), and the Fae, some of which are deadly dangerous, others wickedly, hilariously naughty (V’Lane). MacKayla “Mac” can’t tell which one will help her or kill her. She seems to be changing and growing as well. |

Blot him right out of your soul’s sky. That’s the challenge I’ve set for myself as a writer. (God, I hate it when I do this to myself.) It won’t happen in the first book, or the second. But it will happen. And the gauntlet is flung…:)"3 |
