When Angela first mentioned the idea of Scenic Sunday, I KNEW EXACTLY which series I wanted to revisit. I just wasn't sure which scene. Hmmm....so many great moments in the Fever Series. I think this series is what got me into urban fantasy and down the rabbit hole of Jeaniene Frost, Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and of course, JR Ward. I seriously need to reread this series, it's been years. Jericho Barrons will always be my #1 book boyfriend!! I'm already Continue Reading
Our Thoughts on Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning
Mandi: Let me quickly recap. The first five Fever books are my everything. Iced was amazing. Burned - eh - I didn't love it. It felt like a filler book. I was disappointed with Jada and Mac and Barrons drama. (Previous reviews) Feverborn - more of the same disappointment. Where are we going in this story? What are we heading to? Did anything really happen in this book?? Sheena and I are going to break it down. Please be aware there are SPOILERS Continue Reading
Our Thoughts on Burned by Karen Marie Moning
Burned is book seven in the Fever series, an overall excellent urban fantasy series. I think every Smexy girl reads it, although May, Sheena and Mandi slammed through it on day one and are here to share our thoughts. I think we all loved Iced, the previous book in this series (I did a top ten reasons to read post). We were all unsure of how we would like 14 year old Dani as our narrator, and she surprised the hell out of us in a good way. So then we waited for Burned and her story to Continue Reading
Big Darkfever Giveaway!
We all know I'm a huge fan of the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Burned, coming this January is highly anticipated. MacKayla Lane would do anything to save the home she loves. A gifted sidhe-seer, she’s already fought and defeated the deadly Sinsar Dubh—an ancient book of terrible evil—yet its hold on her has never been stronger. When the wall that protected humans from the seductive, insatiable Fae was destroyed on Halloween, long-imprisoned immortals ravaged the Continue Reading
New Karen Marie Moning News!
Yesterday, Karen Marie Moning hosted an online chat and gave us lots of good tidbits. I actually wasn’t home to read the chat, but my good friend Bells took excellent notes and posted a really informative post. You can see it all HERE. Please note, there are spoilers. Few things I find interesting: We don’t know what Ryodan looks like yet. (I didn’t even realize!) Jo has her own storyline going on and she will transform in her own way. (as long as it’s not with Ryodan. LOL – KMM has pretty Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–November 16th
10. No Christmas miracles in my house this year. (link) 9. Jeaniene Frost has released the cover for book two in her Night Prince series, Twice Tempted, set to release March 26th. A few notes – she has now said this series will be a trilogy. Also, the next Bones and Cat book, Up From the Grave is coming winter 2013 (hoooooooray). I’m not really a fan of this cover, nor the step back - I mean…come on. But..I did enjoy book one, so I’ll definitely be reading this one. 8. I Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten Reasons to Read Iced by Karen Marie Moning
Note: There are spoilers below!! Lots of spoilers!! You have been warned. Before I get into the list, let me say a few things. First of all, I’m a huge fan of the Fever series and I was desperate to get my hands on this book. For those that are new to this author, I feel the Fever series must be read before you read Iced, as this book builds on previous events. While I was excited for this one, I was also nervous. Dani (the heroine) wasn’t a favorite character of mine in previous books. Being Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–September 28th
10. We are diving right into the Top Ten today with animal cracker naughtiness. I hope you can handle it. Link. 9. Yes, I’m obsessed with this book. So here are more details that I’ve found this week. From RT Magazine: "There are others in the Fever World having the sex Dani's too young for in Iced." (Hooray for this! Is it Christian I wonder? Another of Ryoden and Barrons’ “friends?”) Iced begins a week before Shadowfever ends, with chp 1 opening the morning after Cruce gets iced Continue Reading
