Book Description:
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...

Her childhood had been a nightmare of violence and pain until she heard his voice calling out to her. Golden and seductive. The voice of an angel.

He had shown her how to survive, taught her to use her unique gifts, trained her in the ancient art of hunting the vampire. Yet he could not bend her to his will. He could not summon her to him, no matter how great his power.

As she battled centuries-old evil in a glittering labyrinth of caverns and crystals, he whispered in her mind, forging an unbreakable bond of trust and need. Only with him can she find the courage to embrace the seductive promise of her... Dark Destiny.

I have to say that out of all of them that I have read so far, this was by far the greatest!!!!
Truely. It has a wonderful plot, you learn so much about the charictures of the story and the humans that become part of their lives as well. Thru all the books you know what happens to the males if they don't find their lifemates, but what happens to the other halfs of the whole.

I loved it, and Can't wait to get the next ones in the series.

Destiny saw her family slain by a vampire, who then raped her and turned her into one of the undead. But through a telepathic link with Nicolae, a member of the Carpathians, who hunt vampires, she survives, and becomes fond of her Seattle neighbors. Then, as she drags Mary Ann, a woman who rescues battered women, into a church to save her from a vampire, Destiny discovers that she herself is not a vampire because she can enter holy ground and see herself in a mirror. Nicolae, who has been seeking his life mate for centuries, finally finds her, and together they fight to save the neighborhood from evil both vampiric and human. This out-of-the-ordinary romance is deeply sensuous with exquisitely detailed lovemaking and equally vivid paranormal battle scenes involving shape-shifting, running up walls, heaving fireballs, and dragons erupting from the earth.

I really feel that this is one of the best book of the "Dark" series that I have read. I strongly recommend this one.

I love Christine Feehan, and I love the Dark Series. This was not a book that I sped thru or couldn't put down, but it was still good. I loved that connection she continues to throw in each book with previous characters, its like their stories continue to live on and you see it thru each book the growth in love, etc. Dark Destiny was great though because it a very tormented heroine that actually had her LIfemate help her thru some of the roughest times and help her to learn how to survive etc. I love the series, and can't wait to move on to the next.

Exciting & entertaining! I loved that Nicolae cared enough to protect & comfort Destiny before they even met. It speaks volumes about his character that he chose to experience her trauma along with her, so that she would not be alone. He didn't know her at the time and stood to gain nothing from it. Destiny's internal struggle and lack of self worth, just makes her desire to protect those around her more endearing. I look forward to hearing more about Nicolae's brother. His loyalty, strength, & integrity made me really wish could be saved via his own lifemate.

I used to enjoy these types of books but now I just don't see the point. Life mates, time travel and seeing in black and white would have really appealed to me at one time but now I want more substance than that. I couldn't get into the idea or even half of the conversations. Usually I want the conversations to go on and on, but in this case I couldn't wait to move on to the next page. It was a tough book to finish...

After all that, I do hope that his brother finds his own romance... :)

I picked this book up on a whim and I must say I found the authors style of writing very cheesy and even laughable at some points. That said, I enjoyed the plot and these books are good when your in the mood for a smutty, over the top romantic fantasy. I loved Nicolae in this book. I'll probably read more in this series one day, but it's nothing I want to spend money on.

verry good if you like vampires

"Dark Destiny" is my first Freehan book. I enjoyed that the heroine, Destiny, was a vampire hunter and able to hold her own in a fight but was put off by the number of pages describing her inner struggles. Don't get me wrong, I appreciated a story that includes battles of the mind and heart as well as physical battles but I don't need to be told over and over and over that Destiny felt bad about her situation. The love story was overly sentimental as well. I would have enjoyed the book more if there had been a balance between the story line and the inner thoughts of the characters.
