This is when her series has started to go bad. Book is unoriginal!

It took me a while to get into this one. I'm not a big fan of Feehan's writing style -- I find it pretty ponderous and repetitive -- but I like the idea of her storylines so I stuck with the book and it did get better about 1/3 of the way into it. Overall, it was okay but not great, but then I've heard that this isn't the best of the Dark series (which I've been reading here and there out of order as I come across them), so I'm taking that as a pretty good sign. I wish the author would develope a sense of humor, though! I don't think any of these characters ever attempted a single joke! A little levity to break up all the melodrama would be good!

It was a good story about Rafael and did give some insight to the Dragonseeker clan but I didn't enjoy it as well as her other books. He is a bit dominating for my taste.

So hot, you will scorch whatever you are sitting on!!!!

Wasn't sure I was going to like the 'western' theme, but some interesting details were revealed and Colby is quite a strong woman. Rafael is a bit more chauvanistic than previous Carpathian males, but is yummy by the end. And the two personalities mesh nicely.

First book of this kind I have ever read, about paranoral(vampires) and it had me hypmotized, I couldn't put it down.

I LIKE THIS BOOK.IT WAS QUICK READING FOR THIS SERIES.

This is a wonderful book. The series is awesome.

First of the Carpathian series that I read (and it's book 15!!). I like the latter books more than the earlier ones. The Brazilian Carpathians are (for whatever reason) more interesting. Great mythology created by author and it's a series that has held up well.

This is about 12 in a series of books by C. Feehan about Carpathians. They are a separate race from humans. They live nearly forever, but the men desparately need their women. They are essentially vampire romance novels. Great cotton candy type of reading.

This book tells the story of Rafael de la Cruz and Colby Jansen, a mismatched pair who struggle with their relationship after Rafael, a Carpathian, binds them together in the manner of his people. Colby is a rancher, a tomboy, looking after her two younger siblings and struggling to keep her ranch afloat when Rafael barges into her life and up-ends everything, helping her out financially and saving her ranch but also introducing her to a world of vampires, Carpathians, and Dragonseekers that terrifies her. They have quite a struggle to get along, these two, and I admit theirs is my least favorite romance of the series. Rafael is too domineering jerk and Colby is all over the place, weepy one minute, rebellious the next. She's a bit of a dim-wit and appears incapable of thinking even five minutes ahead about the consequences of any action she takes. I had a hard time caring about her and Rafael the way I cared about Lara and Nicholas in "Dark Curse" or Natalya and Vikirnoff in "Dark Demon", one of my favorite of the "Dark" series, where you can actually see the couples slowly falling in love.

On the plus side, Christine Feehan explores the world around the Carpathians more deeply and has some interesting bits of history and back-story, and the climax of the book is excitingly written, with a really scary villain and some imaginative underground battles. If you like the "Dark" series then "Dark Secret" contains information you will want to know, even if the romance is, in my opinion, not the most satisfying of the series.

Another fantastic book by Christine Feehan. This whole series is a A rating for collectors.

This wasn't the best of her books, but it was still pretty good!!!
I kinda like the new characters!!

I liked Darius n Tempest the best though. Anyone else?

This book is part of a large series. You can't just put them down. I really get into the characters and the storyline. I would highly recommend this book especially if you are a fan of this author.

Everyone is always raving about this series, but it's not my taste.

Excellent series!
