Need a Little ICE for that FEVER?

Iced: A Dani O'Malley Novel 
by Karen Marie Moning 


From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning comes the first book in her hotly anticipated new urban paranormal trilogy, set in the world of her blockbuster Fever series.

The year is 1 AWC—After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It’s a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I’m Dani O’Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there’s no place I’d rather be.

Dani “Mega” O’Malley plays by her own set of rules—and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she’s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.

Dani’s ex–best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What’s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.

When Dublin’s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club’s ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what’s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks—and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.

Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin—before everything and everyone in it gets iced


Iced releases October 30th and Karen has given permission for Random House to share this taste of Iced to you guys. ENJOY!

I'm both excited and nervous about Iced. I want more of the Fever world but I'm worried about it being told through Dani's POV.

Graphic Novel Review: Fever Moon by Karen Marie Moning

Fever Moon: The Fear Dorcha

by Karen Marie Moning

Al Rio (Artist), David Lawrence (Scripter), Cliff Richards (Illustrations)
 ★★★★
An all-new Mac & Barrons story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning, marvelously adapted into a full-color graphic novel by writer David Lawrence and illustrator Al Rio

In Fever Moon, we meet the most ancient and deadly Unseelie ever created, the Fear Dorcha. For eons, he’s traveled worlds with the Unseelie king, leaving behind him a path of mutilation and destruction. Now he’s hunting Dublin, and no one Mac loves is safe.

Dublin is a war zone. The walls between humans and Fae are down. A third of the world’s population is dead and chaos reigns. Imprisoned over half a million years ago, the Unseelie are free and each one Mac meets is worse than the last. Human weapons don’t stand a chance against them.

With a blood moon hanging low over the city, something dark and sinister begins to hunt the streets of Temple Bar, choosing its victims by targeting those closest to Mac. Armed only with the Spear of Destiny and Jericho Barrons, she must face her most terrifying enemy yet.

REVIEW:

I am a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series, I mean just look at my avi. She's wearing a Mac Halo. But when I heard about Fever Moon being a graphic novel I was a little on the fence about reading it. Why? Because I didn’t want a face to Jericho Barrons. I knew that no matter how good the artwork would be that he would not fit my picture. And I was right.

Yes the artwork is awesome but is it how I pictured Mac, JZB or even Danni… NO. I had to get over that and just dig into the story itself.

Fever Moon is not my 1st graphic novel. I’ve read a few Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Anita Blake and I liked them. But if you have never read one before you might be a little put off. But if you are a Fever fan you should at least take a look at it in your local bookstore. Would you miss anything by not reading it? No I don’t believe so but it was a nice side story to Shadowfever. It gave me the JZB fix was I looking for and it’s made me want to re-read the whole series all over again.

Here are a few quotes that I got from Goodreads. 
Enjoy.
May have mild spoilers if you have not read the series.

I was about to look away when he reached across the seat, touched my jaw with his long, strong, beautiful fingers, and caressed my face.
Being touched by Jericho Barrons with kindness makes you feel like you must be the most special person in the world. It’s like walking up to the biggest, most savage lion in the jungle, lying down, placing your head it its mouth and, rather than taking your life, it licks you and purrs.

“His hand was on my throat, and he was crushing me back with his body into the cold steel beam behind me. "Yes, I have loved, Ms. Lane, and although it‘s none of your business, I have lost. Many things. And no, I am not like any other player in this game and I will never be like V‘lane, and I get a hard-on a great deal more often than occasionally." He leaned fully against me and I gasped.


"Sometimes it‘s over a spoiled little girl, not a woman at all. And yes, I trashed the bookstore when I couldn‘t find you. You‘ll have to choose a new bedroom, too. And I‘m sorry your pretty little world got all screwed up, but everybody‘s does, and you go on. It‘s how you go on that defines you." His hand relaxed on my throat. "And I am going to tattoo you, Ms. Lane, however and wherever I please.”

“When he comes, he makes a noise deep in his throat that is so raw and animal and sexual that I think if he merely looked at me and made that noise, I might explode in an orgasm.”
―  Dreamfever


“The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were trouble."
"Ditto."
"I wanted to drag you between the shelves, fuck you senseless, and send you home."
"If you'd done that, I never would have left."
"You're still here anyway."
"You don't have to sound so sour about it."
"You're upsetting my entire existence."

"Fine, I'll leave."
"Try and I'll chain you up.”
―  Shadowfever


He pulls me around and kisses me.
"You're Mac," he says."And I'm Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?"
I do.Jericho Barrons just told me he loves me.

Am I writing a 6th FEVER book?
by Karen Marie Moning on Friday, August 26, 2011 at 8:15am

Because I keep getting this question, I’ve realized I've obviously not answered it to your satisfaction:) I'm going to post here and ask that you all help me in spreading the word around.

I'm currently working on a trilogy that features Dani, Christian MacKeltar, Ryodan, and the mysterious 'Dancer,' set primarily in Fever-Dublin. Each installment in the trilogy is a stand-alone mystery, however there are larger plot arcs unfolding in the background. Where Mac was introspective and her story could feel somewhat esoteric, Dani is down and dirty in the streets. Lots of details, lots of action. There’s a different feel to the two series, totally different vantage points. I’m having a blast writing it.

For those of you who have been worrying—the trilogy is not YA. If I had to categorize it, I would say it straddles the line between YA and adult uneasily. I don’t pull any punches. It may be controversial in some ways. But whose teen years weren’t? LOL! Many of the questions I left unanswered in the FEVER series are addressed in this new series.

Exciting news: I’ve agreed to write two more books after that. Once the new trilogy is complete, I’m returning to the core story begun in the FEVER series, and will resume writing about Mac, Barrons, V’lane, Cruce, the Unseelie king, the concubine, the Song of Making.

All in all, there are five more books coming about the Fever World!

Because I know you guys, I know this is going to make some of you as nervous as it makes you excited. Trust me. I’m making no compromises with the characters or the story. It’s all unfolding exactly as it should, true to itself-which means, it’s a sometimes rocky road. Dark times ahead, guys. But I write it all with genuine love for the characters, the world, and you the reader.

As a final note, quit scaring Dreamworks with your demands for NC-17, LMAO. I don’t write NC-17. You have NC-17 imaginations! Sometimes I think you guys should be telling me stories!

HOLY FREAKING COW!!! I can't wait!!

Fever Series Coming to the Big Screen?

DreamWorks bags 'Darkfever' franchise

Previously set up at 20th Century Fox under New Regency banner

By JEFF SNEIDER

With "Harry Potter" finished, "The Twilight Saga" coming to a close and "The Hunger Games" getting steady buzz, DreamWorks is looking to launch its own fantasy franchise, as the studio has acquired feature film rights to all five books in Karen Marie Moning's bestselling "Darkfever" series.

Project was previously set up at 20th Century Fox under its New Regency banner.

Series follows MacKayla Lane, an ordinary young woman from Georgia who travels to Ireland to track down her sister's killer. While overseas, she discovers an extraordinary world filled with ancient secrets and tough-to-kill creatures. Protag, who has special abilities, is tasked with finding the Sinsar Dubh, a powerful yet elusive book that can help her save both the fantasy realm and the mortal world.

No exec has been assigned to oversee the project yet, though it is being envisioned as a potential live-action fantasy franchise.

The fifth and final installment of the adult-themed series, "Shadowfever," was released last December.

DreamWorks has a long-term deal with Disney to market and release its live-action pics.

I am so on the fence about this. I LOVE the series but I'm afraid it will get screwed up when they make it into a movie. NO ONE can be JZB!! 

I almost don't want it made because I know I will not be satisfied.

Hot & can act. But a little too old IMO.

Sure he's hot but can he act?!

Now if you mixed the two together you're getting a little closer but still NO JZB!

JZB's POV is UP!!

Holy Hell! If it's as hot as the picture....




Read it at Karen Marie Moning's webiste.

JZB's POV

 

Karen Marie Moning, author of the Fever series has been promising her fans that she would release a short, JZB Sex POV. And she said, "Make sure you have a little time. It's nearly 5,000 words."


Well per her Facebook page she is releasing it TOMORROW!!! I can't wait.


On JZB's Facebook page he commented "Finally got Karen Marie Moning out of my head. You think you know what's coming tomorrow. You have no bloody idea."
