Narration To Books The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene (Fever #7)
Every time I blink, it feels as if another negative reaction to Burned pops up on Goodreads. You can find review after review of complaints about the direction Moning took here and I'm going to be completely honest with you: I expected this book to be terrible.Most fans know the story by now but I'll just do a quick recap for those who don't. Moning released Iced way back in 2012 and her fans were in uproar! The fourteen-year-old Dani was apparently being lusted after by millennia-old men! Pedophiles! Ugh! Gross! Eww! So Moning freaked out, scrapped her original plans, extended the release date for Burned and tried to rework everything to keep the readers happy.
Uh-oh. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right?
Well, honestly I thought this book was great. Had I not known the story behind the book about Moning's change of plans, I would never have guessed. It really surprises me that fans of the old Fever stories didn't eat this one up. It has classic Moning written all over it. Part well-developed supernatural mystery, and part easy-going, banter-driven exploration of relationships (romantic and otherwise).
I'd hardly spent any time back inside Mac's head before I was reminded of how much she infuriated me, captured my heart, and made me laugh. The character of Mac has always been delightfully refreshing to me; I like the way she's down to earth, a little silly and clueless, but ultimately willing to get her hands dirty when the situation requires it.
Apart from a few lovable tiffs, Moning has thankfully moved beyond the Mac/Barrons relationship story. I knew I couldn't stand reading a book where Mac just waxed poetic about Barron's ginormous penis. No. This book has new characters, new dangers, new mysteries... as well as the old faces we always loved. We get a brand new perspective on some of the other "Nine", which I personally really enjoyed.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but Moning didn't let me down. I thought she delivered a funny, lovable, intriguing pageturner that fixed all the issues I had with Iced. This series just is - and always has been - deliciously entertaining. Sometimes the plot twists are a little wild and kooky, but it never stops dragging me out of this world and into a wacky supernatural Dublin.
It's like three scoops of your favourite ice cream with chocolate sprinkles. What more could I want?

It's a sad day when authors feel the need to justify their writing. Sorry to tell you this KMM: It's not your role to tell me how to read your books. As a reader, my interpretation, my sentiments and my impressions are my own. (KMM's blog post in aswer to some negativ reviews: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...) After reading Burned I want more than anything else for Karen Marie Moning to write the story of the Unseelie King from the concubine perspective. I think this would be epicSpoilersHow could a once great series turn into something so nauseatingly awful?! I was really hoping Burned would be utterly engrossing and full of fun twists and turns like the original Fever books, I wanted it to be nothing like the fucked-up-disgusting Iced book. Unfortunately, it turned out to be even worse than Iced, that said I have to admit there were some parts which were enjoyable and/or interesting to read (mainly everything that happened with Jo and Kat). Mac and Dani on the other

See here and here for my pre-read thoughts (took up a whole damn review section! I ran out of room!)January 2015 Initial Read:First things first, this cover. I hated it from the moment it was revealed. I mean, COME ON! We'd gone from beauties like this: Beautiful. Each and every one of them. Then we get that monstrosity up there. It telegraphs sex. I guess that's pretty fitting because it's damn near all anyone in this book thinks about. That cover did not fill me with a great deal of hope,
1/26/2015 - This was so FECKING amazing! 5 FECKING STARS! FECKITY FECK FECK FECK.Alright finally finished, final thoughts - DO NOT READ... THERE ARE MAJOR SPOILERS IN HERE: (view spoiler)[ 1. I can't say how happy I am that my favorite Dark Highlander survived 2. I'm relieved Christian is back with his family. Now to curb that death by sex so he can have an HEA in a highlander book... 3.I like Jada' fierceness but I REALLY want Dani back. 4. Who the hell is Dancer? Is he a piece of the Unseelie
The book was so bad that I actually had to comment on it, which is a first for me. This whole story was one huge backpedaling mess. It felt like Karen was lost in the direction she wanted to go due to reader demands. There are so many scenes that contradict Iced (the last book) that they make no sense logically,chronologically,etc. I think Karen wanted to stamp out Iced, and because the story is so rushed it turned out very messy. Nothing actually happens for most of the book. All the characters
Two years and two months later, Karen Marie Moning releases the seventh book in the highly anticipated Fever series with BURNED. After the countless delays and near-tear devastation readers experienced since the last release, the Moning Maniacs are in a frenzy waiting for this bomb to drop.True to her signature style, KMM approaches this book with the same intensity of all her previous books but combine that and you get BURNED. The questions that arise in the previous book get answered, but
