Strangely, I resisted reading this series after being told, forcibly, by the most reliable of my reader friends that I HAD to read it. Maybe the hesitation was because the series is categorized as “romance”, even though I’m still not convinced that any of the books in this series would neatly fit into that genre’s box. I’m never opposed to some well-written smut, but I play favorites and usually stick to certain authors. Once I started Darkfever I quickly became addicted. Moning spins a tale so rich and well conceived that even by the last book of the series she was still able to surprise me, bring me to tears and enrage me.
No review written by me is going to do this book justice, but I hope I can entice you into at least picking up Darkfever. This is my favorite series in Romance that is not Romance; it’s Romanti-action-murder-mystery-suspense-supernatural. Yeah. That about does it. Did I mention the ass kicking? And that it is also a coming of age novel? Moning’s heroine is in her twenties, but she still has a lot of growing up to do.
