The fifth and final book in the Fever series or MacKayla
Lane series. I do have reviews up for the third and forth book. I
am very sad that this series is now at a close.
Mac is consumed with grief and has to find a way to cope. She has
a mission to control the Sinsar Dubh, but the book has other
plans and starts going after the ones that she loves. Mac faces
questions that she doesn't know how to answer and no one around her
will give her a straight one. Unsure of who to trust, allies become
enemies.
I am going to start out saying how much I grew to love this
series, and now I have finished the last book. As I said before, I am
sad about this. This book completes the series, with a bow wrapped
around it. Mac grows completely into this woman that is kick ass,
beautiful, and smart all in one. I love Jericho, and in Shadowfever
he is around so much more and Jericho lovers will be pleased with
this as well *SPOILER-ALERT* although they will not be happy in the
very beginning *SPOILER-ENDED* just remember one thing readers,
Jericho is special. I love all the spins that Moning put in this
final book. It had me on my toes at all times, guessing and going
over the series in my head thinking of clues that she may have
dropped before. This also wasn't that great of a thing, I will get
into why later on. The explanations that are given about the Silvers,
Fae, Unseelie, Seelie, the King, the Queen, the Concubine, and the
Sinsar Dubh really ties the series together and makes this
book that much better. There really are not any loose ends, it's an
ending that you can take however you want to, for now. If Moning
brought back Jericho and Mac in her other series (I don't know if she
does yet because I haven't started reading any of her two other
series) I would be beyond elated. I didn't really like V'lane since
the beginning of the series and I find out why. Readers also find out
more about Mac, Jericho, and just all around questions that have been
floating around since the beginning of the series. *SPOILER-ALERT* In
the end, Mac gets her sort of happy ending. Alina doesn't come back
from the dead, and it is a good thing because that would have made
the ending too perfect. Also I love the hardcover books wrap, it is
almost like the Sinsar Dubh in your hands *SPOILER-ENDED* I
was happy that not that many people died, or at least all of the
characters that I have come to love.
As I was saying earlier there were so many spins in this book,
that I was just ready to have the answers, by time I got half way
through the book. This is me, other readers may love it, and that is
perfectly okay. I liked it but at the same time it annoyed me. I
started to roll with it because I didn't want to figure out what the
latest turn may come out to be. I like to figure things out, but I
got tired of it, like I have been saying. The spins also make it very
hard to put the book down, and this isn't a small book. It is six
pages away from being a full 600 pages long. I finished this book in
two to three days, which is a lot quicker then I would have liked to
of finished a book this long. As we readers of this series know, the
Sinsar Dubh has to be put back into containment. Obviously
this happens and when it does, it wasn't as climatic as I was hoping
for. After all was said and done, I was disappointed. After all the
other plot twists this was the less crazier one, and I was expecting
more. Though I am almost happy that nothing huge happened after
everything else that has happened.
Even with the three things that didn't please me with this book, I
still really enjoyed reading this book. I would read it over and over
again. I would recommend it to others, it's only five books and the
fifth book is the longest. Though this is needed, for the most part.
I want to own all of these books so I can read them over and over
again. I have a feeling that this series, for me, will be one of
those no matter how much I read them, every time I do I will find
something new about them. There are not short stories that involve
Mac or Jericho. Dani does have one book, maybe more to come? And the
Highlanders also have a series going.
