~* 4.5 Stars *~ Mac is coming into her own! I'm so glad I stuck with this series after being horribly annoyed by Amateur Sleuth Barbie, aka MacKayla Lane in the first book, Darkfever. She's stronger, more assured, less naive, and far less...pink-and-pastel in Bloodfever, and I loved that change. She's not perfect by any means. She's still got some issues that get on my nerves, but the characterization was such an improvement in this book that I actually really started to like her. Jericho Barrons, by the way, I've never had to try to like. I've always liked the enigmatic and mysterious...man?...who keeps saving Mac's life even while making her existence a study in frustration and lack of information. In fact, there's so much beneath that particular surface that I can't help but adore every delicious syllable of exchange between Barrons and Mac and every time he calls her "Mac" I just...well...do what Mac does herself...smile on the inside. He's the perfect incarnation of unimaginable-depths-beneath-the-urbane-surface. Love. Him. There's not a lot of secondary character development, because there's just not a lot of secondary characters (however, a few potential gems were introduced here). I really want to find out more about the voice on the other end of IYCGM, the even more mysterious Ryodan, and his relationship with Barrons. I wasn't as fond of the first book, Darkfever (3.5 stars), in more than just the characterization of Mac, either - Bloodfever drops what I think is a really annoying trend of prognostication storytelling - where the narrator, Mac, is speaking of things that happened in the past while incessantly alluding to what's going to happen instead of describing it as it's happening. There's almost none of that at all in Bloodfever, and the story seems to unfold as Mac's living it, which is my personal preference. It's been mentioned in other reviews that these books tend to end on a bit of a cliffhanger and are in no way stand alone books. That really puts some people off, and I understand that, but I started the series with the understanding that it's a five book arc and had been forewarned by the reviews that the books aren't encapsulated stories within that overall arc. That isn't my preferred type of series, but I'm okay with it here because in reality, the series and world in which it exists is interesting and well developed and exciting enough to make it worth it, in my opinion. It...uh...also helps that I started the series while the forth book was just being released so I've got two more to go through before I add my voice to the screams for the conclusion. One thing I for sure want to mention, as I give total kudos to Moning for the excellence of the scene...the one in which Mac ends up in Fairy. What happens while she's there was so emotionally honest and realistic to my own emotional experiences that it had my heart in my throat with a renewed sense of grief and closure both. The emotional development in that scene and the affects from it struck a very deep, very honest cord in me and I thought it was brilliant, and not at all overwrought or overdone. A perfect perfect goodbye. I appreciated that unique sense of rightness and wanted to make sure I mentioned it. All in all I think Bloodfever was just a much better book that Darkfever, and if the trend continues in the development of MacKayla's character and the sizzling, intense interplay between she and Barrons, I'm going to be a happy, happy chick. 4.5 Stars overall, with a half star taken off for the very beginning, because I'd read the first book just a few weeks ago and found the rehash for new readers to be a bit tedious, and even if I hadn't I've read other series that do it better, and for other minor dislikes about the still developing MacKayla. Also, a question to loyal readers...is it just me or has Mac EVER seen Barrons during the day? Ever. ~*~*~*~ Reviewed for One Good Book Deserves Another.

This book packed a surprising wallop. Beth's emotional journey as she deals with the aftermath of the brutal attack that left her a werewolf and killed her best friend is hard and sometimes ugly. She's walled herself off from the world around her as she tries to come to grips with what she is. Her attraction to Braden, which she fights with everything inside her, begins to thaw her out some but she has a hard time trusting anybody but herself. While there was a strong focus on Braden and Beth's blossoming romance, for me this book was ultimately about Beth coming to terms with herself and reconciling the two sides of her nature. She fights so hard in the beginning against what she is that her acceptance of her wolf side, which played out very realistically to me, adds so much depth to her character. Braden is comfortable in both of his skins and becomes that rock that she continually crashes against. She can either learn to bend and move with him or she can batter herself into unconsciousness fighting both her attraction to him and his easy acceptance of his duality. I really liked the world that was built here. I thought the characters were dynamic and their every move kept me on the edge of my seat. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to more by this author. -Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal

Read this in one Sitting. It was good and keeps you guessing until the end.
Perfect Chemistry, delicious, passionate, and spicy~ Why? Characters Brittany, outwardly bitch type of character from my view and I usually hate those kinds of people. At first, she seems like a bitch who screams "OH MY GOD! You cracked my nails!" or "OH MY GOD! You stained my BRAND NEW designer Blouse!!!" but that mind image was shattered immediately when I saw how she took care of her older sister. Ok... it was her mom who fits better for the image. Adult version. Brittany is a lovable character, miss perfecta. Alex. Badass, jerk, ass, whatever! Outwardly, that is. Inside? Cheezy, gentle and awkwardly sweet gangsta. Alex is a type of guy who is smart but then intentionally flunked in school jackass. I like Alex but my instincts are telling me I like Brittany better than Alex. Alex is 100% guy (even with those cheese lines) pushing away his lady to protect her from harm. Typical male lead character. Paco. Nooooooooooooo!!! PACO!!!!! I really laugh at the toilet scene!! XD XD XD Theme I am quite ignorant when it comes to races, the black vs white thingy. Point of view as a Filipino, they are all the same. In the Philippines, they view all white people as pretty even though their faces suggest they are not (sorry!!!!). Typical High School theme but enjoyable. It didn't gave me reaction but LOVE IT! Lesson Don't get stuck being a appearance loving sucker. Life is too short for that. Like what my mom says do something more productive. Outside appearance matters. It is useless to deny but don't suck on it. You will die early
This is just not my usual flavor. I picked it up at a friend's recommendation, and I was hooked from the first page. I was in no way prepared for the ending. No way.

This book is one of the many that I've picked up at a tag sale with the intention to read at some point in time. That time is now.

George Tice has photographed the city of Paterson, NJ over the years, and this book is the result. The photos here show the life of a city - its buildings, its industry, its businesses, its nature, and of course its people. Most of the photos of people come from the "walking down the street" series called Main Street (these photos are grouped and distributed through the book). Other people can be found lurking in doorways or just on the edge of the frame. This is a great book if you're interested in cities, architecture, or black and white photography. All of the photos except "Main Street" are done in a large-format camera. I discovered Tice's Paterson photos by seeing them in an exhibit. Now I have a book to capture my memories (and all of the photos from that exhibit are here!)

I have to admit, I haven't always been on the Bryson bandwagon. His cantankerous travel narratives leave me a bit cold, and while I enjoyed A Short History of Nearly Everything, it went on a bit long. But this is the book Bryson was born to write. His paranoia, his blundering wanderlust, his stubbornness and his self-deprecating humor all come together in this story of two out-of-shape middle-aged men who set off to hike the Appalachian Trail. The blend of narrative, history, social commentary, nature writing, and geology is perfect. This is a great book that should resonate with, and in a strange way, inspire, readers of all ages. It will certainly make them laugh.
This was an okay book. I enjoy reading about other time periods.
