A review by entirelybonkerz
Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning
5.0
I still haven't recovered myself fully. I finished it last than thirty minutes ago and I consumed this entire series in less than a week. My heart is thorn and I feel like staring at the walls of my house blankly for hours until I recover the feeling of self. I have lost it entirely. I miss them so much already.
"Useless emotions. Rise above them. Stop reacting and act." Barrons would say.
I shake his voice away.
I will not just yet continue with the other five books of Dani's storyline but I will in the near future. Most likely this year still. This was the most surprising and unexpected journey I have ever been through. I picked up this series just because it had been in my TBR for so long and the books were short and it took control over my life and my feelings and I was swooning like a teenage girl all over again and I was never able to put the books down. Addicting, mysterious, sensual, terrifying, exhilarating from beginning to end. Books hardly ever put me on real edge and this one has. No wonder it was written by a Scorpio. HAHA Dark and twisted the way I like it. Karen managed to combine all my favorite horror movies, tv shows, a mix of supernatural and true blood and I had to stop lying to myself after I finished book 2 that I wasn't enjoying every second of it.
It made me uncomfortable, it put me on edge, but as my favorite video game character would say: "when you're not on edge you are taking up way too much space." And I could totally hear this quote being said with Barrons' voice. It is totally something he would say. Well there is a lot of things I can hear in Barrons' voice. He is in my head all the time now... I would not recommend this series to everyone, but my kind of people would be able to appreciate it for what it is, a masterpiece. Karen is the shit! MacKayla Lane has won my heart in so many ways I can't even begin to put it into words. And Jericho Barrons? Well, good thing he is hard to kill... He will live in my head RENT-FUCKING-FREE.
Karen said "Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything." and this is exactly what this book has done to me. I brought out the most of everything.
If you enjoy the macabre, dark sensual stories and intense rides with the best writing why haven't you picked up this series yet? Same page?
Good.
Same page, same bloody word.
