Review: Fevered (The Carnal Court Series Book 1) by Devyn Sinclair

Fevered Fevered by Devyn Sinclair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Fae Curse

Kari is a human with magic. She was a ballet dancer until a couple of years ago when she injured herself so badly she had to leave her life behind and start again. She took her magical ability and opened a potion shop.

She was travelling to attend a gala at which her friends were being promoted in the dancing ranks, when she was attacked by a customer. The woman magically tried to draw Kari’s power away, and in the process was killing her. Until she was rescued by three fae men. Even though the attack was stopped she remained cursed and it continued to try and kill her. The men wanted to take her to Allwyn (the home of the fae) to get help from their friend to remove the curse when her friend, who she wanted more from, arrived. He insisted on coming with them to Allwyn, because he didn’t trust the fae.

The book covers the journey across Allwyn to the Carnal Court the home of the three fae and their friend. Their magical ability is tied to their court and in their case that is passion. This means the book is quite full of sexy scenes.

The writer creates very clear descriptions of the world of Allwyn, with it’s beautiful Crystal Court and it’s stunning temples. She also clearly conveys emotion and physical sensations. As someone who experiences chronic pain, her descriptions of the pain that Kari experiences is very accurate, and I empathised greatly with her.

It didn’t go much into the history of the characters and it was very focused in the present. I’m hoping that future books will explore the characters more individually rather than as a collective of fae males.

Other than that, it was an enjoyable read and I will probably read the next book in the series.
