★★★★☆
Page turner as usual BUT...
Okay, I love, love, love any work by Karen Marie Moning. I think she has a gift for creating enthralling, sexy page turners and I'm completely addicted to the Fever series. I was desperate for each and every novel's release and I devoured DreamFever in a little over 6 hours... BUT, the unanswered questions and cliff hangers are getting - nope, scratch that, ARE - tiresome. I felt the same way after Faefever and it's only been amplified by the unsatisfactory ending of Dreamfever. I realized that, once again, questions that were initiated in Book 1 are still NOT resolved in Book 4 and [naturally] we get some NEW questions. If I were a man, I'd say Karen is pretty adept at giving me an extreme case of literary blue balls. I felt sort of betrayed and tired at the end of DreamFever - I'm dying to know the official status of Jericho and Mac's relationship [and I agree with another poster - I don't care what he did or what kind of monster he is - I want them to wind up together soo badly - with maybe 1 little detour in V'Lane's bed before their HEA, lol]. I'm tired of books where it ends with Mac in a horrid situation and you don't know who's going to rescue her - hopefully herself for once. All that aside, though, the book is a fun, quick read and leaves you parched for more. Mac is developing into an even better kick a$$ character although I wonder if she strays a little too far to the dark side... there were some virtues to pink Mac I think. Much to the publisher's delight, I'll definitely buy the next book, but I wish I'd never laid eyes on this series until all 5 cursed books were on the shelves. I'm also a shade dubious about Karen cramming and resolving everything neatly in this 5th book since she didn't do it in 4. So instead of 5 stars, I'm gonna have to subtract 1 because my immediate reaction after finishing this novel was utter disappointment for all the reasons noted above. I hope to God they don't make us wait another year for ShadowFever. Give me a short story or something in the interim, PLEASE!!
