40 free Fever Series trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Barrons Books and Baubles is where it all starts: a bookstore in Ireland, a young American looking for her sister's killer, and an owner who knows far more than he is willing to say. Karen Marie Moning's Fever series grew from that meeting into a long-running saga about a hidden war between humans and the Fae. This quiz covers the whole run. You will meet MacKayla Lane and Jericho Barrons, the rival courts of the Fae, the search for the Sinsar Dubh, and the later books that hand the story to Dani O'Malley. A few questions step outside the story to the author's career and the books' life in print and on screen. It is written for readers who have finished the series and want to see what stuck, and for book clubs that need a ready-made round. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so a miss still teaches you something.
