Fever (Chemical Garden) by Lauren DeStefano


Fever starts off where, Wither left off. Rhine and Gabiel have left the comforts of the mansion and are on the run. The world outside of the mansion is dangerous , dirty and merciless.

Rhine and Gabiel are essentially abducted by a Madame, who runs a sex slave operation. Life inside of the tents is tragic and violent. Upon their escape, Rhine is captured and taken back to the mansion, in which inexplicable things occur.

Fever does not have the energy or character development that, Wither does. It suffers from the middle book syndrome. The first third of the book doesn't really add anything to the series and it drags. It isn't until Rhine is taken back to the mansion that things really start to heat up.

Unfortunately not many questions are answered such as, what is Vaughn researching, where is, Rowen and what exactly is the plague?

Grade: C+
