Our Very First Group Read

By -


As you can see by our cool widget over there -----> (maybe down there a little) we are just over six weeks away from the release of Iced by Karen Marie Moning. Iced is going to be the first in a triolgy of Dani O'Malley books, but we think it's important to understand how we got to Dani's story.

Oh, who're we kidding? Iced is just an excuse to reread the Fever Series! We know that Ms. Moning is going to knock our socks off with Dani's trilogy, but we love Fever so much, that a reason to read them (yes, again!) is always welcome.

And what better way to christen our new blog, and emphasize the Book Club part, than with a Fever reread? Now, we know that not everyone is ready to jump in just yet, and some of you may not have read them yet (but you should; you really, really should!), so we'll keep spoilery discussion to our new Goodreads group. Meet us there with your copy of Darkfever and a glass of wine, and let's chat about Mac, Barrons, Dublin, and the whole, wonderful Fever world.



Will you be joining the Fever group read? Have you read them yet, or are you new to the Fever World? Do you love them, like them okay, hate them? Share your general Fever feelings below!

    I'm in! Let me bring my glass of- does it have to be wine? I'd like some gin&tonic instead- alcohol and drag my Kindle here. I'm so nervous...

    I have 2 copies of the first book and they are both loaned out to my friends. What was I thinking?!?!? I probably won't reread them all, but I definitely need to reread the last one before Iced comes out.

    Sign me up! But I need to finish another book first. Then I'll start with some of the Highlander books that preceded Darkfever. I want to read them all together this time! This is one of my very favorite series!!! So excited!!!

    I'm going to have to find a way to read about three books at once. Possible? Certainly! I've already started skimming the first two so that I can spend some time with 3, 4, and 5 before Iced comes out.

Created by Olga Daniels What better way to prepare for the impending release of the next Black Dagger Brotherhood novel, Lover at Last by J. R. Ward, than to relive some of our favourite scenes in the previous books?! Some of these scenes were selected by multiple Wenches, others are just personal favourites. One is. Clearly. The. Wench. Favourite. It won't be hard to tell which one! After the jump, see which scenes made us ooh, ahh, and pant for more.

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -
Image
Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
