Darkfever

WHAT
A cheap erotic fantasy story where a innocent hot young girl meets an older dangerous hot guy, thrown in some vampires and sex addicted faes for some flavor. Her sister is dead and she wants to find the murderer by herself, never mind she can't kill a cockroach to save her life or have the capacity to go to the store to buy poison to kill it from a distance.

TLDR
+ readable
- unexciting plot
- foolish protagonist
- self spoiled narrative

SUMMARY
MacKayla Lane if a typical southern belle. She is in her early twenties, works as a bartender to pay the bills, spends her time by the sunbathing at the pool. She is very beautiful, curvy and innocent. Her world is turned upside down when her sister who is living in Ireland is brutally murdered.

Upset because the police has given up finding her murderer after a few weeks, she decides to fly there in order to convince them to continue the investigation. Alone in a strange country where she can barely understand what the people are saying, she is unable to talk to the police inspector assigned to the case of her sister's murder right away. So, she decides to investigate it herself.

Some weird things start to happen around her, as she slowly finds out there is more to this world then the eyes can see, and she is uniquely capable to see them.

Out of her depth, with no especial skills that can help her to defend against natural or supernatural threats, she is forced to rely on the help of a mysterious stranger, a handsome older and wiser man, with chiseled chin and... you get the drill.

This emotionally unavailable, chauvinistic bad boy, father figure, decides that he can use her for his purposes, and so their partnership forged. Now MacKayla must avoid the dangers of sex to the death with faes, vampires and whatnots, who have supernatural abilities that makes them drop panties irresistible to women.

ANALYSIS
Well, it was pretty clear where I was getting myself into right from the start:
- the book is called called Dark Fever
- it has a cover showing a naked hot, naked male and female upper torsos
- its written by Karen “Moning”
- took quite a while to find a male reviewer on Good Reads
- the first few lines mention that there are two kinds of faes: the ones who kill you on sight and the others who use you for sex

Exposition through describing future events was kind of annoying. I would rather discover about faes and the protagonist's powers together with her, along the development of the story. Instead that is described in the prologue. This artifice is also used sparsely through out the book, ruining the “surprises” it could have presented.

“I would later find out that he was lying but at this point I believed him
