Darkfever and DreamWorks

Whoo Hoo!!!  Apparently DreamWorks has acquired the rights to Karen Marie Moning's Fever series.  Love this!  Only question is, does DreamWorks only do movies, or do they do tv shows like True Blood?  I don't think a movie or series of movies could do this story justice.  Each book needs it's own season to flesh out the story and the characters.  And HBO would be the perfect place for MacKayla and Jericho.

   

If, like me, you are impatiently waiting for another book by Moning, head on over to her facebook page for a scene from Jericho's point of view.



Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning

Oh yeah!  Check out what I found over at Goodreads:

"I'm currently working on a trilogy that features Dani, Christian MacKeltar, Ryodan, and the mysterious 'Dancer,' set primarily in Fever-Dublin. Each installment in the trilogy is a stand-alone mystery, however there are larger plot arcs unfolding in the background...

..For those of you who have been worrying—the trilogy is not YA. If I had to categorize it, I would say it straddles the line between YA and adult uneasily. ...Many of the questions I left unanswered in the FEVER series are addressed in this new series.

Exciting news: I’ve agreed to write two more books after that. Once the new trilogy is complete, I’m returning to the core story begun in the FEVER series, and will resume writing about Mac, Barrons, V’lane, Cruce, the Unseelie king, the concubine, the Song of Making.

All in all, there are five more books coming about the Fever World!"

I cannot wait for this!  Although I am a little worried about the books "straddling" YA and adult.  According to Goodreads, the first book will be out sometime in 2012.

Review - Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning

If you have not read this series by Karen Marie Moning what are you waiting for?  The five books follows MacKayla Lane as she travels to Ireland to find her sister's killer.  Once there, Mac discovers that she is a sidhe-seer - one that can see Fae and sense an evil book.  There are numerous people after the book and are willing to use her to get it.  But who can Mac trust?  Is it Jericho Barrons who keeps saving her life, V'Lane a Seelie prince, or Rowena, leader of the sidhe-seers?  

I tried to keep this review as vague as possible to avoid any spoilers.  This final book in the Fever series was a satisfying conclusion to a wonderful story.  Throughout the books I had many theories about who each character was.  I will be honest and say I think I was wrong on every one.  There were many twists and turns in Shadowfever that I did not see coming.  But I think each one was true to the story and did not feel like a copout.  There were a couple of questions left unanswered in a way that suggests that although MacKayla's story has been told, there are others that will be.  Hopefully if Dani is one of them, her style will be changed.  I liked her as a character but there were a couple of times that the story was told from her point of view and that point of view was jarring and annoying.  I assume it was written that way because she is young.  I am also hoping that Christian, V'Lane and the Unseelie King get their own stories.  I cannot recommend this book enough.  As soon as I closed the book, I immediately opened up the first book to start the series from the beginning.
