About this listen

 MacKayla Lane's life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she's your perfectly ordinary 21st-century woman.

Or so she thinks...until something extraordinary happens.

When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death - a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone - Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers.

The quest to find her sister's killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae.

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women - closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac's true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds.

I have read the whole series on Kindle and now I'm re-visiting it on Audible. I just wish they had done the whole series instead of missing some of the books out. I really wanted to go straight to book 2 after finishing book three.
This series should be made into a streaming show, it could easily be the next big thing!

This book series is fantastic

THE BEST SERIES EVER

Joyce Bean does these voices so well you will almost believe there is more than 1 narrator. Mac seems a bit of a ditz at first and I wasn’t really sure I was going to like the book. She certainly grows on you though, and the author brilliantly describes scenes so well you can really picture yourself there with Mac. My biggest disappointment is that Audible hasn’t done the next book, and can’t understand why? This book is definitely not a stand alone and I want answers!
All in all this is a good book if you don’t mind paranormal, mystery thriller with some romance potential thrown in. It was definitely right up my alley and I’m giving it 5 stars

I proudly own every book in the Highland and Fever series, so when I found Darkfever here I was ecstatic. I was a bit disappointed in the narrators Irish accents which unfortunately took away some of the depth to the characters both male and female. I was not as drawn in to this much loved story as I was hoping to be.

Slightly underwhelmed

This is exciting series

I had to force myself to finish it. So many tropes and the plot never gets interesting. The main character is uber cringe, shallow, happily ignorant and disgustingly self involved. Do we really need another fumbling damsel that is saved by a brooding male that is infinitely strong and intelligent? And the constant hints of storylines and secrets in future books is shameless baiting and shows little respect for the reader or the story.

shallow and basic

the first book is not the best in the series. the narrator would be better suited to telling fairytales. She made Barrons sound like an American grandma trying to put on an Irish accent even though he is meant to have an accent that "is not Irish and hints of somewhere exotic".
Her voice for Mac sounds too mature and... well... like a stereotype.
Mac whinges a lot in this book, but grows throughout the series.
I'm confused as to why they don't have the next book in the series available in audiobook format, but they have the one after.

wrong narrator for this book
