Darkfever
by Karen Marie Moning
3.5 Stars.
MacKayla Lane is a normal Georgian young woman who loves her pastel colours, her make-up and nail polish. However, Mac's life turns upside down when her sister is murdered in Dublin, Ireland, and she goes over to investigate when she feels the gardaĆ aren't doing their job properly. Suddenly Mac discovers that she is something called a Sidhe-Seer, meaning she can see both dark and light fae - putting her life in huge danger. Mac is sucked into a quest she never wanted but it might mean finding the person who killed her sister.
After a couple of months of thinking about this book, I can finally write something on it. This is not the best written series ever, and I'm not 100% sure it deserves the amount of hype it's receiving at the moment but that's not to say it's not an enjoyable read. Mac, while slightly self-centred and ditzy at times, is an enjoyable character and someone you can't help but like and want to succeed. Jericho Barnes is someone who I hated and loved in equal measure. He has a very tough exterior but i feel like he really has a mellow centre and in his own way, he cares a lot.
My issues with this book was mainly the way Dublin was portrayed. It seems that not one person that Mac meets is nice to her, and that's the complete opposite to the Dublin I call my home. I don't particularly think this book puts Ireland into a good light and/or would make readers want to visit there. I also think, considering the book is all about the fae, going somewhere else in Ireland, such as Galway, Kerry or Donegal, would definitely help too.
