NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Karen Marie Moning’s latest installment of the epic Fever series, Mac, Barrons, Ryodan, and Jada are back—and the stakes have never been higher or the chemistry hotter. Hurtling us into a realm of labyrinthine intrigue and consummate seduction, Feverborn is a riveting tale of ancient evil, lust, betrayal, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of love. When the … love.
When the immortal Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged, and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making—a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of life itself—can save the planet.
But those who seek the mythic song must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: the Keltar at war with nine immortals who’ve secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among—and within—themselves.
Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And on those war-torn streets, Mac will come face-to-face with her most savage enemy yet: herself.
Look for all of Karen Marie Moning’s sensational Fever novels:

Praise for Feverborn
“Moning’s world-building is extensive and inspired, and she never fails to keep the action fast and the stakes high. . . . The heroes’ shared danger, victory, loss and turmoil translate into emotional intensity and sexual tension.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Karen Marie Moning is back, burning up the pages with scorching tension, gasp-out-loud surprises, unshakable danger and unexpected feels. Feverborn is simply impossible to put down. . . . I’m not sure how Moning is able to do it after eight books, but each novel proves more exciting than its predecessor as she continues to raise the stakes in this ongoing, exhilarating saga. Feverborn is a fight between ancient magic and renewed determination, a duel between old wounds and deep-seated love. Once again, you won’t be able to put this book down.”—USA Today
“Feverborn is at once the most gratifying and infuriating (in the best way possible) volume in the series yet. Moning’s proclivity for passion, emotion and shocking twists is showcased in breathtaking clarity. . . . I can damn near guarantee that fans of the series will be panting, both with heat, and a frenzied need to know what happens next.”—PopWrapped
“Feverborn is a masterpiece of epic proportions. With this book, Karen Marie Moning shows us exactly why she is such an indispensable writer in the genre.”—Under the Covers

I loved this book. Mac is back on point and Barrons is, well, Barrons in all of his dark glory. Can’t wait for the next installment!!! And I have to say, the cover art for this one is perfect, exactly how I’d picture Mac looking at the Sinsar Dubh.
I’ve been a fever follower from Book One – Darkfever. The world-building is phenomenal, as are the characters. You will not be disappointed.
I just finished the book . I am not sure how to put in to words how I am feeling . I am almost ready to re-read it because I must have missed something . I will be honest not happy about the ending . … but perhaps I am being a bit childish that I have to wait , then again perhaps not . This book seemed much slower and more of a “catch you up ” read than another episode . So much is left unknown and we are only given brief glimpses into each situation , nothing seemed concrete or completed. I would define this installment more as a an accompaniment novel than a series installment . Don’t get me wrong as always excellent story with strong scenes , I just felt something was missing . I impatiently await the next book in this series , I need answers .

Love the Fever series!
Loved the whole series, enough to have read them all twice.
Loved this book and the whole Fever series. Jericho & Mac are by far the most original and captivating couples I’ve ever met and I’ve met quite a few in my prodigious reading journey. If you can’t handle ‘strange’ then don’t enter Mac’s world but if you want to meet characters that will stay with you forever, then read The Fever series- and start at the beginning.
Man! I’m a huge fan of KMM and this book was a amazing as the ones before it!
Love all the Fever Books. Cant put them down.
I Love Karen Marie monings Fever series. She created a great world with with interesting characters.
J D Robb is one of my favorite authors and always writes a great story.
I love this whole series.
One of my all time favorite series! (And I only have a handful.) 🙂
Morning is a great writer
I love this series. Never get enough
CONTAINS SPOILERS!
ORIGINALLY POSTED TO THE PURE TEXTUALITY PR BOOK BLOG:

I think in the last three books, KMM has sacrificed too much of her story to try pleasing the fans.
There are things that are changing, fundamental pieces of character personalities, and it’s very in-your-face. Jericho Barrons was probably the biggest disappointment for me this time around. The sheer cockiness of the character is what I love so much about him. Still, to this day, regardless of any other conversation they’ve ever had, my favorite Barrons quote is still this:
God Said: Let there be light!
I said: Say please.
That one tiny statement spoke VOLUMES on the character’s ego.
In Feverborn, that level of ego is just………gone. In all honesty, he comes across kind of needy in this book. It felt way out of character.
I also found Feverborn to feel very aimless. I actually restarted the audio book at one point because the story line was so fragmented and all over the place that I had no clue what was going on that I thought I missed something. Listening to it the second time through, I realized the problem wasn’t my listening skills. The story line jumped all around filled with seemingly pointless shit totally unnecessary to the story.
Like Lor’s long-winded speech about clits…..
…………
……
…
I’m not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but the point she was getting to in that little speech, and there was a point, was so far buried an KMM’s attempt at shocking fluff that I cant remember what the point was now. All I remember now is how annoying the clit speech was. I don’t think that was supposed to be the object of that scene. It felt like she was trying to recreate his epic chapter in Burned, which was funny and not fluff-filled.
Another fluffy annoyance was the three or four times Mac went on waxing poetic about how much she likes to bone Barrons. We get it. We got it three books ago and this time around, it wasn’t hot. They’re usually a HOT couple and it all felt very forced.
And Alina. Now, you want to talk about a story line coming out of left field? Alina?! Really?!?!?! We’re pulling that one out of our asses?? And Feverborn gives you absolutely NO answers where that one is concerned. There is a metric shit ton of build up as to whether or not it’s really her, and then it just doesn’t get addressed again before the end of the book. So who knows?
All that being said, the final two chapters of the book had me reduced to tears. The ending will tug really hard at your heartstrings. We come to a point between Mac and Jada I have been waiting on since the end of Iced and it hurts.
Overall the book wasn’t horrible, but it didn’t feel like KMM was behind the wheel on this one. The flow of the book is erratic at times and it feels like the story is lacking direction. For the first time in this series, I’ve started to think maybe it really should have just been left off at Shadowfever as originally done. I’ve read that some reviewers are dropping the series, either due to the initial Gigante drama when it came out, or simply due to not liking the series anymore. I’ll definitely be reading the last book because I’m dying to see how it all wraps up, but looking at this book alone, it wasn’t her greatest work. I really hope she knows where she’s going with the story. I’d hate to see such an epic series fall flat on its face at the end of its run.
Loved it!
ARGH, Ms. Moning, why must you torture me so with the cliffhangers??? I really did love the book though. It was emotional and surprising and like all Fever books, kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. Parts made me cry, parts made me “grrr” and parts … well… Barrons, need I say more? I enjoyed getting to see Dancer again and I love that the Highlanders are still intertwined with this series. The world that has been created here in this series is so complex and interesting that it just blows my mind and I can’t help but be a little jealous of the mind that thought it all up! You have a forever fan in me Karen Marie Moning and I can’t wait for your next book!
