Customer Reviews

amazing story teller by erotic and classic horror; I would go willing!

The way she weaves the relationships together, blends erotic with deep love, writes on honor and family, I love how i can catch a little southern in her writing. lol It draws you in and you just want to read more and more. I love her. She has overtaken Anne Rice in my opinion. Bravo! How does she crank out so many books. I would love to get in her mind.

Christine Feehan is the best writer!

The series continues with a twist of evil trying to attack the Carpathian. This will have you tense and on the edge of your seat. Great details and imagination. They are so real and alive. Love it!!!

Fantastic

This audiobook was fantastic. Phil Gigante & Jane Brown should be proud of themselves they brought the characters to life. Phil Gigante has a great accent for the main character, super sexy. I can't recommend this highly enough especially, if like me, you are used to the audiobooks read by the one reader. I love it....have I metioned that :)

I loved it

I have to say I loved the humor in this book. The herione Mary Ann reminded me of Cordelia Chase from the Buffy and Angel series. Picture a girly girl who could kick butt with out breaking a nail. Monolito was hot and very mucho, which was a perfect complement from Mary-Anne who was very feminine, but strong when it counted. To tell the truth I had gotten a little bored with the dark books. But this book has gotten me hooked agin.

Bravo! Absolutely wonderful

I just finished reading my book an I cannot express how much I loved it. Manolito and MaryAnn did NOT in no way disappoint. Manolito was hot, sexy, inspiring and totally alpha, MaryAnn was awesome. She is my new favorite Heroinne. A girliegirl with umphhhhhh! The story was exciting, terrifying, heartbreaking, encouraging and loving. I cannot wait for the next installment. Please hurry Ms. Feehan.

Oh Yes!!! Great Couple - Awesome Installment (5+ stars)

Book Description: Dangerously close to becoming a vampire, Manolito De La Cruz has been called back to his Carpathian homeland-and has unexpectedly caught the scent of his destined lifemate, MaryAnn Delaney. MaryAnn is human and well aware of the aggressive instincts of Carpathian males. A counselor for battered women, MaryAnn has no room in her life for someone like Manolito. But when she goes to South America to offer guidance to a young woman, she has no idea of the trap awaiting her. For she's been lured there by Manolito, who has seductive plans for the irresistible human female. Once there, she'll be his. Once his, she'll never be released. She is his dark possession. In my humble opinion: great couple, book, story, etc. How do I tell you about the story without giving away spoilers, especially this early in the game? The story is the book description with a touch of "Dark Prince" (a new species is incorporated into the Carpathian family - Can it be done?); combined with "Dark Desire" (dark and unstable - Will he be whole again?); meets "Dark Magic" (almost vampire - Can she save him?). You have to love this couple! They combine alpha Carpathian, De La Cruz influenced, self-sacrificing, unique Manolito with the girly-girl, fashion-conscious, independent, compassionate, MaryAnn as they unravel a little more of the big plot while falling in love. Another Carpathian is "introduced"; others are mentioned, pasts explained; and Zacharias makes another brief but powerful "appearance" in the story as does a few other surprising Carpathians and vampires. CF Dark Series fans will enjoy this installment. You hit the ground running from the beginning (almost literally) with action, romance, adventure, paranormal, suspense, and of course the required spice is thrown in. (C'est bon!) This review may not help, but to say more in the beginning may ruin it for others; a little suspense is sometimes a good thing.

Fantastic!!! Best yet!

I just finished this book and I have to say.. it is my favorite out of the whole series. I wasn't sure going into it knowing what Manolito did to MaryAnn in Dark Celebrations. I figured it would be kind of like what Rafael had done to Colby but it was nothing like that. Manolito is a kind, if not troubled man, who has more honor and strength than I imagined. New bloodlines are revealed and past Lifemates. Hints at future lifemates and a whole new ballgame for our couple. Things happen in this book that I had hoped and guessed and talked about with others. Wonderful things and scary things. The De La Cruz family is starting to quickly win favor in my eyes. Strong, noble and oh so yummy and there are still two of them left without lifemates. There is suspense, romance and love blended together with courage and instinct. Fantastic read and I couldn't put it down. I hope we don't have to wait another year for her next book, but this one was WELL worth the wait! Fantastic job Christine Feehan... your best work yet!
