Review: The Fever Series

Here's my thing about reviews. I hate reviews that tell me what happens in the book. If I want to know what happens, I'll read it. What I want from a review is why the reader liked the book or didn't.
Was the plot good but the writing bad? Or the other way around?
Does the reader fall in love with the characters, or just loves to hate them?
I don't want the plot. I would have enjoyed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone so much more if no one had told me that Harry becomes a wizard. (Don't get me wrong, I can practically quote the whole book.) But it's the journey the characters go on that make it for me. I love how things happen, not why.
So when I review that's what you'll get. Take or leave it...

 I stumbled across this book on Amazon. I wasn't looking for an urban fantasy, actually I wasn't looking for any sort of fantasy. I was, however, looking for a good series. I love reading good series, trilogies, sagas, what have ya. They let the author really get into an entire world and dramatic plot line. Really develop the characters. They let the readers fall in love with the characters, or despise them. Or even better have one of those love hate things.
The entire Fever Series was that for me.
A simple southern girl's life is turned upside down by her sister's murder. Seeking revenge and closure she heads to Dublin to get answers. Mac, our heroin, starts out being innocent, naive and gullible. As the story progresses and the dangers increase she evolves to survive in a world teeming with Fae, both pretty and not so pretty.
I loved the sassy writing, and wordless conversations. I loved how well illustrated the world of Mac is. The journey is filled with twists and turns, no one to trust and no answers that give real truth. Mac has to decide for herself what is best for her survival and ultimately humanities survival.
Some of the characters I adored, some of them I hated (rightly so) and some of them I just wanted to package them up and take them home.
What threw me for a few chapters was when the point of view suddenly changed from Mac to Dani. But after going back and re reading it made sense. Dani continues the story and gives the reader answers without making the Mac do something stupid just so certain information gets passed to the reader.

Now here's my reader beware:

I loved this book. Now if you know me that means I had no problem with the F word being thrown around regularly or the moments of intense sexual situations. (It wasn't roses for Mac, actually it sucked for her.)
But if you don't want to read a story with cussing, compromising positions that even made me blush (and I don't really do that, ask most anyone.) then find something else to read.
If you do love a good journey and a heroin your rooting for through good decisions and bad mistakes then you wont be left disappointed. You will be left wanting more.
Good news, there are five books, and three more in the works, and I am interested to know what the last three will be.
Happy reading! Please pass on books you loved. I am always on the hunt.
