Book Description:
Christine Feehan has worked magic on a legion of fans with her darkly thrilling Carpathian tales. Now she delivers the provocative tale of a female vampire slayer who proves as seductive -and mysterious- as the night dwellers she stalks...

For as long as she can remember, Natalya has been fighting demons: first in the form of childhood nightmares, then later, immortal creatures that kill and prey on the innocent - including her own twin brother. Whether Carpathian or vampire, she slays those who murder by night, and has no equal - —until she is seduced by the very thing she considers her enemy...

A Carpathian who has seen nearly everything in his endless existence, Vikirnoff didn’t think he could be surprised anymore - until he faces a woman who rivals him as a vampire hunter. A formidable and gifted warrior in her own right, Natalya has a nature that is strangely familiar -yet alien- to his own. Who is this mysterious female who fears no one - —not even him? Natalya could be the key to the survival of the Carpathians, but all Vikirnoff is certain of is that she is the key to his heart and soul...

I do have to say that of all the books of hers so far this one is the best ever. It is a long book, but it is so worth the time. It only took me 4 day to finish it, yes it was that good. You won't even see of sex scene for at least 300 pages and that was cool, since it allowed for a lot of action and fighting going on. You learn a huge plot against the carpaithians that you don't get enough of in any of the other books I think. The carictures are very easy to get close too, and the vampires are easy to hate but you learn a lot of another side of the bloodlines you never knew about. The Mage.

It is a wonderful, exciting book

Christine Feehan isn't one of my favorite authors, her books all follow the same plot.

I grabbed at the airport bookshop last weekend, because I had finished my other travel book. I just couldn't get into the story. I love vampires and mystical/magical plots but, for me it felt like it was dragging along... going nowhere.
I just can't finish it. I've read two other books since putting it down, and I can't bring myself to finish it.
I'm not going to give up on Ms. Feehan though... I've got a few more coming from the series and I'm going to give them my best shot.

Perhaps it's just me... Maybe you'll really enjoy it. I hate when I can't finish a book. Oh well.. that won't stop me... onward to other tomes.

I love all of Christine Feehan books, so I could be a little prejudice on that score.
This story is about Natalya who is (Carpathian, Mage and Dragonseeker who is the oldest bloodline of the Carpathians). She was also gifted with being part tiger, which she can turn into when she is cornered by the vampires. She also carries a Dragonseeker birthmark, that burns whenever a vampire gets near or in the vacinity of her. Her mage blood line comes from the Carpathians sworn enemy, who stole a Carpathian life mate after killing her lifemate.

She is on the search of a knife and a book that has spells in it that her evil grandfather sealed with the 3 bloods of a Carpathain, Mage and the Dragonseeker) And only 1 who carries all three bloodlines can open this book.

Her lifemate is Vikirnoff who is on his way back to the Carpathian mountains to say goodby to his prince, and to end his life, until he hears her voice inside his head and he sees colors and he gets his emotions back.

In this book near the end, you will read about the power that is written in all her other books. The alligence between Mikhail, and Gregori and all the Carpathians. In this book you will read about why the Prince (Mikhail)is so important to all the Carpathians and their surviveral

I'm a fan of the dark series but I have to say that this book left me wanting. It seemed to me Feehan spent her time trying to drag out specific settings to scenes in hopes to not divulge more of a larger plot. I normally wouldn't care but it's still not explained in the next book either - kinda like a plot that will be dragged out over a long period of time. The little bits that she divulges in this book are hard to put together enough to understand (feels like bits and pieces that will be hard to remember in a later setting).

This book's characters are the same as the other books which is nice, though can be repetitive if your expecting more (I wasn't!).

Also characters from the other books are brought in which is always GREAT!

Overall a GOOD read and if you've read others in the series a MUST read.

The story of Natalya and Dark Hunter Vikirnoff. I found the character of Natalya annoying with her sassy but arrogant mouth. I know some women may take delight in having a strong female protagonist but does she have to be so sarcastic and demeaning to Vikirnoff? I liked the idea of having a warrior type woman though. She's a perfect match to
Virkirnoff who at first thought that when he met his lifemate she'd be gentle, soft and feminine. It's only until later does he realize that Natalya is the perfect female for him and only gets nervous when she puts herself in dangerous situations. At least Natalya has the training and power to battle evil unlike other heroines in this series who jump into very frighthening situations with no battle skills. Like all of the other Carpathian males, Virkirnoff is hot. The plot has some good twists and turns and there's a mystery also that gets cleared up at the end.

the story line was good. I liked the history and descripions of the world around them. I am just not a fan of romance

Another Carpathian novel. Natalaya fights vampires on her own and has done so all of her life. Vikirnoff is her soulmate and a Carpathian. Natalaya doesn't know the difference between Vampires and Carpathians. An interesting dilema they figure out together. Great story line and a lot of action with romance.

The first Christine Feehan book I ever read. I was hooked from the first page. Anyone who likes paranormal,immortal, vampire, sort of books will love it. They are a bit spicy but thats a part of charm. I have since read all her books that I can find.....

It's a Carpathian novel... Excellent, as always, in my humble opinion.

Vivian T. (VvivianT2) from RICHMOND, VA wrote on 5/17/2008...


I like this book because it has more than just romance; it has action, adventure, humor and a plot to keep the story going somewhere. It has a strong woman who is worthy of entering the action right alongside her mate or fight by herself. Natalya is willing to learn from others and use what she learns. Vikirnoff is as all Carpathian males, strong and sexy. He is willing to change his ideals of the perfect mate from June Clever to Xena the warrior princess, with a little persuasion of coarse.

This story is more than just about Vikirnoff and Natalya; it's about the Carpathian poeple fighting in a war for their very survival against very strong and smart villians.

While I enjoyed it, this book seemed to be non-stop battles instead of focusing on the couple. I loved the humor and by-play between the characters, but the fighting got old for me. Not my favorite of the series.

One of my favorite Feehan books! This couple fights together! and they kick ass, but then Miss N is also a wizard and more of the plot of the series is revealed!!!

She is the master of paranormal romances. Dark Demon was one of favorite Carpathian novels!
