In which there are Fae monsters roaming modern Dublin, a beautiful heroine with surprising likeability and killer nails, and a male lead who’s too Alpha to take seriously, this is Dark Fever!

Join the four heroines of Bodice Ripping in their debut episode, where they discuss the first book of Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series, Dark Fever. The theme of this dark-toned supernatural romance seems to be “zero to sixty,” where main characters brood for long periods of time before suddenly springing into action, where terrible Fae monsters suddenly show up after pages of inactivity, and where there is surprisingly little physical romance for a romance novel. However, Dark Fever at least has an interesting story and mythology to compensate, and the female lead character is definitely one of the high points.  Listen in as they discuss monsters, mythology, and of course, supernatural romance.
