Review: The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning

October 9, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie MoningThe Watch Hill Trilogy #1Urban Fantasy RomanceOctober 1, 2024- William Morrow Review by Angela As soon as I found out this author was releasing a new series, I added it to my TBR list. Karen Marie Moning is an author I've loved, from her old school romances to her more urban fantasy like Fever series. And while I kind of quit the Fever series as it evolved from a MacKayla to a Dani storyline (the last book I read in the series was Iced), Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: Faefever by Karen Marie Moning

March 6, 2022 by Jen 1 Comment

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

January 20, 2016 by Mandi 38 Comments

  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

January 22, 2015 by Mandi 49 Comments

  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!

November 18, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

  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!

November 20, 2012 by Mandi 16 Comments

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

November 16, 2012 by Mandi 45 Comments

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

November 2, 2012 by Mandi 89 Comments

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
