Iced (Fever World #1)
by Karen Marie Moning
October 30, 2012
Summary from Goodreads:
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.

Vampire book? Hmm I'll admit I've been pretty cautious with the vampire book I pick up but this does sound pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW: World of Books
Love the cover. I am a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning's work and I love all of her books, have read them all several times and will start the process all over again in anticipation for Iced.
ReplyDelete@ Read, Write, Read, you must have never heard of the Fever Series by this author it contains the same characters because this book is set in the same world. It is definitely not just a vampire book. I am begging you to please read Karen's books before this is released. You will not be disappointed. You will find characters from both of her series in this new set of books starting with Iced.
That goes for anyone who has not had the privilege of reading her work.
I know I sound like an endorsement,but I'm not. I just absolutely love the books. When the book is released Karen and Moning Maniacs will be in Nola and I would do just about anything to be there.
I digress. Check out all books, you will love them. (Sorry for the long obsessive post:)
Shan I agree with you! You should def read the whole fever series before picking up Iced.
