NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Immortal Faerie and ancient feuds, secrets and sacrifices—a thrilling new chapter in the bestselling Fever series begins, featuring Dani, Ryodan, and other beloved characters, as they battle to save Dublin from the rising of a terrifying evil determined to enslave the human race.

There is no action without consequence.

Dani O’Malley was nine years old when the delusional, sadistic Rowena transformed her into a ruthless killer. Years later, Dani is tough and hardened, yet achingly vulnerable and fiercely compassionate, living alone by her own exacting code. Despite the scars on her body, and driven by deeper ones carved into her soul, no one is more committed to protecting Dublin. By day she ensures the safety of those she rescues, by night she hunts evil, dispensing justice swiftly and without mercy, determined to give to those she cares for the peace she has never known.

There is no power without price.

When the Faerie Queen used the dangerously powerful Song of Making to heal the world from the damage done by the Hoar Frost King, catastrophic magic seeped deep into the earth, giving rise to horrifying, unforeseen consequences—and now deadly enemies plot in the darkness, preparing to enslave the human race and unleash an ancient reign of Hell on Earth.

There is no future without sacrifice.

With the lethal, immortal Ryodan at her side, armed with the epic Sword of Light, Dani once again battles to save the world, but her past comes back to haunt her with a vengeance, demanding an unspeakable price for the power she needs to save the human race. And no one—not even Ryodan, who would move the very stars for her—can save her this time.

Praise for High Voltage

“A romance wrapped up in a thrilling sci-fi novel—what more could you want?”—PopSugar

“If you’ve never read a Karen Marie Moning book before, you’re missing out. Her heroines alone are worth the read. . . . Despite being set in a dystopian world filled with magic and fae, the obstacles that these characters go through are very much humanlike. . . . Cannot wait to see where [she] takes this series next.”—Under the Covers

3 down-with-the-train-wreck-stars. It is difficult for me to rate this book. On my emotional side, I enjoyed it, but on my rational side, there are still things missing. Let's start with giving voice to my emotional side. I am surprised that I found myself enjoying being in Dani's head. I have never been a fan of her, but in this book, she has grown up and become more mature. That made me easier to connect with her. It was also nice to have some of the points of view from her to have a comprehensive vision of the overall story and world. I even enjoyed her moments with Shazam (cutie!). And I guess that's all from my emotional side. Onto my rational side... Let's start with the plot. Basically, nothing solid happens in this volume. Chapter 26 is worth reading to get an overview of the Fae's timeline, told by Christian. The book is more focused on what is happening to Dani. Even though my emotional side enjoyed it, it doesn't seem to naturally fit Dani, if not for forcefully giving her a HEA with Ryodan and Shazam. Even if I like Ryodan and I am happy that he gets his HEA, I don't feel the chemistry between him and Dani. When I said that something is missing, I am referring to the what recently happened with Dani/Jada. We know that Dani had a bad and difficult and we got here some flashbacks with her mother, too. However, we do not get any (or very little) information of what happened to her in the Silvers and her coming back as Jada nor her transformation back to Dani. I also think that her relationship with Ryodan was not well-built enough and did not really grow over time. I do not see those characters slowly falling in love with each other as Mac and Barrons did.
