Faefever by Karen Moning

I was looking forward what I thought was the LAST installment of this fantasy series. I had so many questions. Who is Barrons or more aptly, what is Barrons? How is Mac ever going to get home? How is this going to be resolved? Will she get her revenge?

Instead, at the end of book THREE I just felt unsatisfied -- there is another book coming. The ending was so dire that the author felt compelled to add an end note and ensure the reader that good days were ahead for Mac. Smart move. I was ready to ditch the series.

As you can probably sermise, I don't like multiple title series. If you can't do it in 3 books, then you're toying with the reader. I'll comment on this opinion when the 4th book comes out. I wonder if I'll still give a flying fig about Mac and Barrons...

Publisher's blurb:
The New York Times bestselling author of Darkfever and Bloodfever returns to Dublin’s Fae-infested shores in a bold, sensual new novel. Hurtling us into a realm of seduction and shadows, Karen Marie Moning tells the enthralling tale of a woman who explores the limits of her mysterious powers as she enters a world of ancient sorcery—and confronts an enemy more insidious than she could ever have imagined.

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 MacKayla 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.

As All Hallows’ Eve approaches and the city descends into chaos, as a shocking truth about the Dark Book is uncovered, not even Mac can prevent a deadly race of immortals from shattering the walls between worlds—with devastating consequences.…
