Synopsis
“Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it’s good.”
MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.
Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister’s murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.
What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh—a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?
From the luxury of the Lord Master’s penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

Review
Wow! For anyone who hasn't had a chance to read something from Moning, the Fever series is a perfect start, and you should start now. No, really....go! Even after four books, I'm still intrigued by this story. Mac has changed so much and so has the world that she left not even a year ago. This is a complicatedly woven story and the author somehow keeps it all together and running smoothly. For those of you that are storming B&N for a copy, it's in the Romance section. Although this series is primarily gut-pounding action and drama, there are several steamy scenes - and it makes it all the better. I don't think this is the end of the series, but the author does a fantastic job of throwing a few curve balls and keeping the reader guessing. This is one of my favorites :)
