- Karen Marie Moning (rhymes with 'awning') was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. She graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's degree in Society and Law. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a bartender, a computer consultant, and an insurance specialist.
She began her career writing paranormal romance set in Scotland but as she became increasingly fascinated with Celtic mythology, she switched genres to Urban Fantasy and location to Dublin, Ireland, so she could focus on the Tuatha de Danann, or Fae--an ancient race of immortal beings who have lived secretly among humans for millennia. A Rita-award winning novelist, she is the author of the Highlander novels and the internationally bestselling urban fantasy Fever series. Her books have been published in twenty-four languages, and her events draw fans from all over the world.
She divides her time between the mountains of Georgia and the beaches of Florida.

Not in the gushing way some other reviewers go about it, but yeah, it was good.
Worldbuilding was really good. It's an Urban Fantasy, so pretty much current Earth with the supes still in hiding but swallowing whole chunks of property (and well... humans). Every scene and environment was detailed and clear enough for the mind to just follow along with the story without having to fill up blanks in between.
Character development was good. Mac undergoes a drastic transformation, from southern belle to being a seer. And this is a bit where I have some issues (but then again, that's just me)... she knows she's in danger, she knows what's out on the streets... and still she goes out? I mean, I get that she needs answers and she doesn't want to rely on the mysterious (but very hot) Barrons, BUT STILL! He saves her oooooooover and oooooover again and still, she throws herself in the thick of it?! Yeah, that did annoy me a tad. That said, the revelations she had to deal with were drastic, out of the blue and at least at first, unbelievable.
I hope, for the next book, she comes to grip with her new reality and moves on, stronger then she was in this instalment.
Barrons, cloaked in mystery but apparently with a soft spot for our lovely naive heroine. How that must gall him to no end :D
Pacing and flow were good. It started a tad slow, but that was to be expected since it still had to set the stage for the rest of the story, but once it got going the flow was really good with a good balance between action and conversation.
The book itself was well written with only some minor errors here and there, nothing that really bothered me. There is some slight sexual content in this book (if that is important to you).
All in all, while I'm not super hyped about it as I thought I'd be, it was a good and enjoyable read and I will be reading the next part (it's on my ever-growing TBR list lol).… (mer)
