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.
My Quickie Review:
The next installment in the Fever world is Dani´s first book in a trilogy.
Dani is at that awkward stage in life, a young girl at 14, used to taking care of herself but still a bit to young to know what all the fuss is about. She´s getting feelings she doesn´t know what to do with, when her friend Jo gets "boinked" by Ryodan and lays claim on him, could it be jealousy? And Christian, on his way to becoming a Dark Unseelie Prince has some serious mojo that affects her, too.
Then there´s her best friend Dancer, he gets her, and helps with all her problems. Dani´s lost her BFF, Mac, since the last book ended with the revelation of who was responsible for Mac´s sister’s death. And to top everything off, Ryodan tries to make demands and have her obey his rules, not something Dani is up to.
Now there´s a bigger threat, again. Something is freezing spots all over Dublin, killing unsuspecting people and no one can figure out why. The only one capable of investigating the crime scenes are Dani, Ryodan and his men, since they can freeze frame and avoid the temperature.
We also get more on how Dani grew up, and that is not a fairy tale. It made my heartache.
Iced is a great contribution to the Fever world, I just wish I didn´t have to wait a year for the next one!
