He calls me his Queen of the Night. I’d die for him. I’d kill for him, too.
When MacKayla Lane receives a torn page from her dead sister’s journal, she is stunned by Alina’s desperate words. And now Mac knows that her sister’s killer is close. But evil is closer. And suddenly the sidhe-seer is on the hunt: For answers. For revenge. And for an ancient book of dark magic so evil, it corrupts anyone who touches it.
Mac’s quest for the Sinsar Dubh takes her into the mean, shape-shifting streets of Dublin, with a suspicious cop on her tail. Forced into a dangerous triangle of alliance with V’lane, an insatiable Fae prince with lethally erotic tastes, and Jericho Barrons, a man of primal desires and untold secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.
As All Hallows’ Eve approaches, the city descends into chaos as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, and not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.

Urban Celtic fantasy slides down a dark, depressing slope in bestseller Moning’s third Fever thriller (after Bloodfever
), centered on a hunt for the Sinsar Dubh
, a black magic book more than a million years old. As All Hallow’s Eve in Dublin approaches, the walls between the human world and Faery verge on collapse. Can former Georgia peach MacKayla “Mac” Lane prevent a total invasion of the Unseelie Court? Originally intent on avenging her sister Alina’s murder committed by Unseelie Lord Master, Mac’s now a power-player in the war between the Seelie (good Fae) and Unseelie (bad Fae), after learning she’s a Celtic sidhe-seeker who can sniff out OOPS (Objects of Power). Meanwhile, the attractive V’Lane, a death-by-sex Fae, wants Mac’s help in securing the Sinsar Dubh
for his Seelie queen, Aoibheal. At the end, erotic shocks await Mac in Dublin’s vast Dark Zone, setting up feverish—if wary—expectations for the next installment. -

The third installment in Moning's popular Fever series ("Darkfever; Bloodfever") finds sidhe-seer MacKayla Lane continuing to adjust to her powers and her new life in Dublin. Though she now knows who killed her sister Alina, she's no closer to the vengeance she craves, and the information she collects about the fae and their relics leads to further questions. Unsure of whom she can trust, Mac further develops her sidhe-seeing skills, taking some unexpected detours into darker territory along the way. Secondary characters from the earlier novels, including sidhe-seer Rowena and "death-by-sex" fae V'Lane, are prominently featured, and there's plenty of action and sexual tension keeping the battle between good and evil moving forward. An abrupt cliff-hanger ending and a number of unresolved plot points ensure that the series will continue. This series is a good bet for readers of Nora Roberts's paranormal-tinged titles, who will appreciate Mac's tough yet tender character. Recommended for all public libraries.
