!! This show provides examples of:
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Mac with Barrons, and Alina with the Lord Master.
* AvoidThisAreaEffect: The mechanism is never explained but areas of Dublin infested with the Shades - Fae creatures of LivingShadow that are deadly to humans after dark -- somehow disappear from city maps, get forgotten by utilities and authorities, and are shunned by most people.
* BadassBookworm: Barrons. He owns a bookshop, is named after a publishing company, and is pretty mysterious and badass, what with being immune to shades, {{Living Shadow}} and all.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Barrons, Ryodan, and [[BadassCrew any other person from their club]].
* BadassLongcoat: Barrons favors these.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Mac and Barrons.
* BlessedWithSuck: Mac can see the true faces of all the scary monsters who want to kill off humanity.
* [[spoiler:ChekhovMIA: Cruce, the Unseelie King, and his concubine.]]
* CompellingVoice: The Druid Voice ability. [[spoiler:In ''Shadowfever'', Rowena's ''sidhe''-seer ability is revealed to be mental coercion, which she used to keep a hold on the other ''sidhe''-seers and on Dani to make her kill Alina.]]
* {{Crossover}}: The books are the same universe as Moning's ''Highlander'' romance novels, with the events of the Highlander books partly to blame for what happened. Says Moning:
-->As I was mentally forming a polite but firm refusal, in no mood to put my sexy and successful Highlanders on hiatus, she snapped, "Don't even think of telling me 'no'. You're the one who put me here. If not for you and your [=MacKeltars=] and Adam and Aoibheal none of this would be happening to me. Now fix it!"

-->That got my attention. I sat back and listened for a while. And I discovered Mac was right. While I'd been busy in Scotland, chronicling the tales of the [=MacKeltars=], I'd not thought to consider the ramifications of their exploits on a grander scale. Not once had I looked to Ireland, to the original settling place of the seductive and dangerous Fae. Not once had I checked on the Unseelie prison to make sure it was still holding its prisoners. Nor had I cast so much as a brief glance at the walls between the Fae and mortal realms, or I would have seen the danger we were in.
* [[spoiler:DeadPersonImpersonation: Cruce switched identities with the real V'lane, leaving him to be killed in his place by Aoibheal.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: Mac promises to not harm the Grey Lady and her children in return for her healing Dani[[spoiler:, and later deals with the Unseelie King to get him to stop Cruce/V'lane.]]
* {{Defictionalization}}: "Taking Back the Night", the sidhe-seer anthem that Mac and Dani make up in ''Dreamfever'', appears in ''[=BloodRush=]'', the soundtrack to the first four novels.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:''Faefever'' - The walls come down, and Mac is made pri-ya.]]
* DyeOrDie: Mac is forced to dye her hair after accidentally running into the Grey Man in order to keep him from tracking her down.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Dani hates being called Danielle.
* TheFairFolk: The old-school, scary kind.
* GlamourFailure: One of the many reasons the Unseelie want Mac dead.
* ImportantHaircut: Mac gets one in the first book to disguise herself from the Unseelie.
* LastNameBasis: Barrons and Mac refer to each other as Barrons and Ms. Lane.
* LevelUpAtIntimacy5: [[spoiler:Mac's sexathon with Barrons leaves her stronger than she was before.]]
* LivingShadow: The Shades.
* MindRape: Having "unprotected" sex with a "death-by-sex" faerie prince, if it doesn't kill them, leaves a human addicted (pri-ya) and unable to care for themselves. [[spoiler:When Mac is raped by three Unseelie Princes at the end of ''Faefever'', it leaves her a mindless animal.]]
* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: Barrons.]]
* [[spoiler:NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Barrons, his son, and the other eight can't be killed, save for a good K'vrucking. It also turns out that Mac was given a modified version of a faerie elixir of life by Cruce/V'lane when she was raped in the chapel.]]
* TheNudifier: V'lane[[spoiler:/Cruce]] is a living nudifier; his Fae Prince hormones cause human women to strip off all their clothes in public.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Barrons
* PublicDomainArtifact: The four Hallows, in place of three of the Four Treasures of Ireland.
* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:Mac being raped by the Unseelie Princes at the end of ''Faefever''.]]
* RomanticFalseLead: Christian and V'lane.
* StalkingIsLove: Barrons, whom Mac eventually ends up with, had been watching Mac ever since she first came to Ireland.
* SuperCellReception: [[spoiler:The cell phone Barrons gives Mac can be used interdimensionally and without battery by dialing "IYD." But you'd better be actually dying.]]
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Barrons.
* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Sinsar Dubh.
* TookALevelInBadass: Mac gets tougher with every book.
* TotallyRadical: Dani starts using the word "dude" in ''Dreamfever'', to the point where Mac threatens to start calling her Danielle.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Ro, to the point where she chews Mac out for not killing someone possessed by a Gripper[[spoiler:, tries to kill Mac while she's ''Priya'', and mind-controls Dani into getting Alina killed for associating with the Lord Master.]]
* WhatCliffhanger: [[spoiler:''Dreamfever'' ends with Mac freaking out over the monster killed turning out to be... someone, later revealed to be Barrons in ''Shadowfever'']]
* WickedCultured: Darroc, and arguably [[spoiler: V'lane/Cruce]].
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:After Mac thinks she's killed Barrons, she teams up with the Lord Master in order to later have her revenge, then use the Sinsar Dubh to remake the world.]]
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Barrons only refers to Mac by her first name when she's been brutalized or badly injured — otherwise it's Ms. Lane in a somewhat derisive tone.
