Mac becomes more and more badass as the books go on. Let's just say she learns the hard way about everything and anything. Barrons is a VERY frustrating character to understand at first...but the more you read, the more is revealed (he will definitely keep you on your toes!)...and there is romance. You will love it! :) The attention to detail in the world-building is fantastic. Seriously, KMM is incredibly creative with the different beings and ~magic in the world. I can't wait to see what you think about the rest of the books.

I really need to read it because it's exactly the type of book I usually read! <br /><br />Still, now I know I'll have to wait until I can afford more than just the first one if the romance isn't all wham-bam in the first one. <br /><br />Great review, Rachel! :) Livvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441931016080817720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-85245215109849740912012-09-19T22:42:09.659+01:002012-09-19T22:42:09.659+01:00Well, hello, Jericho.

And it's set in Ireland :) I'll have to give it a go. I'm glad to hear there's no info dumping, that just has the opposite effect on me, I zone out and then don't know any of the information anyway lol. So much better when it's bit by bit throughout the story.

While I wouldn't call the romance in this novel <i>romantic,</i> it's definitely very hot and steamy and the sexual tension is only amped up seven-fold in the following novels. I guess <i>Shadowfever</i> is most satisfying in terms of actual romance although I loved <i>Dreamfever</i> the best of the whole series I think. Overall, this series is just AWESOME and I hope you love the rest of them just as much - if not more! - than you loved this installment! Wonderful review, dear! I can't wait to see what you think of the sequels!

And like Jenny said, do not read book 4 unless you have book 5 on hand. I didn't have book 5 when I finished book 4 and was gonna DIE waiting for it.

Just be glad the whole series is out because there is a wicked cliffhanger at the end of four and it was a fourteen month wait, Most of us just about died waiting!

It's a little disappointing to hear that the sexual tension doesn't really edge into the romantic territory, but hopefully the rest of the series will take care of that.

I can't wait to see what you think of the rest of the series! Do not, I repeat DO NOT, read book 4 without having book 5 on hand. Seriously. You might die. I had to wait 18 months after book four and nearly had to be locked up in a padded room because of it. And you'll get your romance. Eventually.

She is very possessive. <br />I have to admit I wasn't all too thrilled with this book, but the series gets much better later on. <br />Btw, if you want UF with a lot of steam and excellent plots, try Mark of the Demon by Diana Rowland. <br />Amazing review, Rachel! Now it's your job to talk Jasprit into reading it.

I like the sound of Mac and I guess the lack of romance is what makes UF differ from paranormal romance?
