Goodreads Synopsis: 

Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.
Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.

The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.

In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.

My Review:

First...let me just say how beautiful that cover is! I can't stop staring at it and its just awesomesauce over awesomesauce! :D Can't see what they have for the final book it must be as good! *Eyes gleaming with suspense*

I loved Fever so much it was so damn good! I literally finished it in two days, stayed till 11 p.m to get half-way into it since it was just jaw-dropping good! I just feel in love with Lauren DeStefano's writing again and I so want to meet her! Fever was just as awesome as Wither, survival is high than ever for Rhine and Gabriel, and the suspense is killing! Don't to mention the crazy, heart-breaking, tearful *Picks up tissue to wipe eye after reading the end*  ending that I kept reading over and over realizing Fever ended.

I love everything about this book! The characters were perfect, suspense and action exploded from page to page *Frantic eye look* , and romance with sizzling between Rhine and Gabriel. There wasn't a time where I just wanted to drop the book because it had boring character, low action, no this book made my day better from every page and I was always excited.

Fever immediately starts right where Wither left off, Rhine and Gabriel running from the mansion. Danger and survival is higher than ever because Housemaster Vaughn is somewhat following them on their trail, nowhere is safe. Rhine and Gabriel find themselves in a carnival where girls are watched closely by a mysterious woman, a fortuneteller giving Rhine a glimpse of what life is in a very short amount of time, a lovely couple, allot to keep you entertained.

There's lots of things at stake that make you race till the last page and it will keep you up all night!

Fever is amazing, beautiful, awesomsauce book that is so good! 0.0 Give Wither a try and once you do keep Fever on hand because you will need it ^^

“He kissed back, all the pages spread out around us like riddles waiting to be solved. Let them wait. Let my genes unravel, my hinges come loose. If my fate rests in the hands of a madman, let death come and bring its worse. I'll take the ruined craters of laboratories, the dead trees, this city with ashes in the oxygen, if it means freedom. I'd sooner die here than live a hundred years with wires in my veins.”    

“Once upon a time there were two parents, two children, and a brick house with lilies in the yard. The parents died, the lilies wilted. One child disappeared. Then the other." Pg 225”
