The Fever series really blurs the lines between ro no and sci fi/fantasy. KMM created a modern, paranormal world so engaging you actually read FIVE books before your HEA. Proceeding from the world of the fae that Moning introduced us to in her earlier Highlander books, Darkfever kicks off when the fae are really taking over and things are heating up in Ireland. MacKayla Lane, our naive, bimbo heroine, sets off to Ireland to avenge her sister, and quickly becomes the only hope for the human race. She also quickly morphs into much more than a bimbo, and she encounters some hunks who are much more than your run of the mill ro no heroes. There are a lot of Irish words I pronounced in my head very differently then they should be pronounced. Unlike other series posts, I will only list the order of the books here, and send you on your way. A mini summary would have to include spoilers, and the way the plot unfolds in this series is so amazing that I don't want to do anything to mar your enjoyment of it! Each book continues the story and progresses the romance between MacKayla and the various potential suitors in her life (one of KMM's strengths is that you never know quite which hottie you're rooting for). I found these books deeply satisfying - enough that I've read the series a few times. That said, if you're not hooked by the first book, this series isn't for you.

Faefever 2009
Dreamfever 2010
Shadowfever 2011
The book Iced, 2012 is part of the Fever world but features Mac's sidekick, Dani. A 13 year old girl. In the Fever world. It is...uncomfortable. At first KMM said Iced was a young adult book, but when it came out she backtracked considerably - this book is still as graphic and sexy as the rest of the Fever series! Dani is more sex-adjacent than I felt entirely comfortable with, but I wholly admit I am a prude about teenagers and their sexuality. You've been warned!
