Even worse, they can't seem to elude Rhine's father-in-laaw, Vaughn. who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion.... by any means necessary.

What makes Rhine sick? How could Vaughn found her? Where actually Rowan? 


********************************

I never thought I would love this book very much, actually I wan't to tell much more about this book but afraid it will become spoiler. Fever is much more interesting than Wither. It makes your heart goose bump.
Even though sometimes you'll bothered by the problem that faces Rhine and Gabriel, this book was worth to read. The romance, it was pretty confusing, even when Rhine and Gabriel has shared a lot of affection, she said that " I didn't said I love him." which is makes me "blah~" .
I know , i know I wrote something weird, it was because I forget the rest of the story -_-\
4 out of 5 stars :)
