The book: Faefever. (The title will not make any sense until the end of the book.)

The author: Karen Marie Moning.

Third in the series, this book is really good. I have read the other two, and now I’m tapping my fingers impatiently to find out when the fourth book in the series comes out. I will be there!

Honestly, I don’t usually get sucked into a series, but this one is good. At 3am, I had to talk myself into going to sleep instead of staying up all night and finishing the book. You will not see the ending coming. If you try to guess right now what the ending will be, you will be wrong.

I highly recommend starting with the first book in the series, but you’ll be glad you did.

For fun: Go to Karen Moning’s website at http://www.karenmoning.com/

There, you will find:

1. A podcast of Darkfever, the first book. It looks like the entire book is there, so this is a good place to start.

2. An excerpt of Bloodfever, the second book.

3. The first three chapters of Faefever.

4. A game based on the series: http://www.macvshades.com/game/game.html If there’s a second level, I never got there, but I did try it.

5. A picture of the author in a really silly hat on her blog that makes perfect sense once you’ve read Faefever. Can you believe that hat could save a life? It does.

C’mon. How often do I recommend books on this blog? Almost never. You’ll enjoy this reading.

P.S. Someone on Karen Moning’s blog suggested that the main character was raped during the course of the story. No. It isn’t true. I know that because I’ve read the series. I will never recommend books with rape scenes. I will never write books with rape scenes. It’s a shame this topic came up because I’d hate the word to be associated with this wonderful series. These books are just great entertainment.
