MacKayla Lane comes to Ireland to try to make sense of her sister’s murder and that last frantic phone call when her sister whispers “Oh Mac, you don’t even know what you are!” But Dublin brings more than Mac bargained for. She sees creatures in the crowds – creatures with horrible features feeding on humans. And apparently no one else knows they’re there. Mac stumbles into a bookstore and finds an unlikely ally in the gruff owner Jericho Barrons. He explains that she is a sidhe-seer, one who can see beyond the glamour of the fae. Someone has opened a portal to our world and faeries are pouring in – only warriors like Mac and Barrons stand in the way of their total domination.
Moning has recently come out with the second in the series, Bloodfever. Mac learns a little more about being a sidhe-seer – and she and Barrons continue their tense dance of being attracted to one another while trying to stay a step ahead of the bad guys. The plot continues its fast-paced race with the unlikely heroine who’d rather dress fashionably than fight the fae.
These books are less gritty than Laurell Hamilton’s vampire hunter Anita Baker, but have a sense of humor like Janet Evanovich’s bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. I’m looking forward to reading what happens next.
