Review on the Fever Series, Books 1-5

Review on the Fever Series, Books 1-5

For the description of these books, click here.

I decided to review the first five books as one, because that's how I read them. Instead of five separate books it was like one HUGE book. Especially considering the length book five.

I really loved this series. But I feel like the time of vampires is over, and the time of Fae has begun. There's The Iron Fey series, the Wings series, or many other books. And now there's Fever. (I don't mean to say that as if they're just being published, I mean they're popularity has skyrocketed) I hope this isn't coming off as if I'm sick of the whole Fae thing, because I'm really not. Yes, I read Twilight, but no, I never got into that vampire phase. Anyone that drinks blood is gross. It's not sexy at all, and you will never convince me otherwise. 

I love the Fae trend. Each of the previously mentioned series about Fae have really held something unique, whether it's what they call their home (Nevernever, Faery, Avalon) or what the Fae are like. In Fever, the Unseelie are gross and huge douchebags. When you first start reading the books Mac makes it seem like the Seelie are just as bad, but I completely disagree with that. Yeah, the Seelie are bigots but they've been alive forever. It's natural they know more than we would, so is it really surprising that they look at humans in the way high school seniors look at the freshmen? Not really. If it wasn't for the sex glamour V'lane used when you're first introduced, I would like them just fine.

I love the way each character is portrayed as if you, the reader, really don't know who to trust. You're right in their with Mac trying to figure stuff out. I also think the character development of Mac throughout the series is just amazing. She starts as a somewhat shallow young woman, and every bad thing that happens leads you to Mac 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...It's really interesting and gradual, so gradual it's hard to notice.

Barrons character seemed so real, so magnetic. I looked forward to every encounter with him, and was incredibly curious about his history. I have to admit, it was Barrons that interested me the most. You just learn so little about him in each book, and I was soooo tempted to just google him and read some spoilers. 

Honestly, I don't want to say anything else because I loved learning every detail in this story line.  I love this book series. Read it.

I give it five stars.
