was totally caught up in the ride. I read the whole series in a week. I gave up sleep, I cheated work, I didn't return calls, I didn't pay enough attention to my wife and kids. I stole every spare minute I could from the rest of my life to ride the Fever ride, and it was fun, it was breathless, it was exhilarating. And as long as I don't think very deeply or critically, it was deeply satisfying. 
 In Shadowfever, Karen Marie Moning tied up the many, many loose ends from the previous installments in ways that were unexpected and exciting. There are plot twists that will make you slap yourself upside the head in delicious epiphany. It will seem like a chorus of angels will sing in your head, and all will seem brilliant and clear and perfect in that moment of oh-my-god-i-FINALLY-get-it-now. That's an undeniably good, satisfying feeling, and I enjoyed--really enjoyed--Shadowfever for giving me that.
