The Barnes & Noble Review
Can Christine Feehan's compelling Dark Carpathian series possibly get any more intense? Good news, readers: The answer is yes. No. 13, Dark Demon, features an unusually powerful and combustible relationship between vampire slayer Natalya Shonski and Carpathian Vikirnoff. She's stalking her prey in the Carpathian Mountains, while he dreams of a perfect lifemate, a yes-woman like June Cleaver. Still, when he gets wounded coming to her aid in a vampire fight, the attraction and action begin.
Natalya is a great heroine: part human, part mage, with the ability to shape-shift into a tigress. There's a plot that goes back centuries and involves hidden memories and family secrets. There's the evolving relationship between Natalya and Vikirnoff, with the adjustment to each other's personalities often comic and always charming. Then there's the action: Natalya in the midst of her fight with clone wolves and smoke warriors is nothing short of spectacular -- and cinematic. Series fans will also appreciate the appendix of Carpathian language, glossary, and healing chants. Ginger Curwen
Publishers Weekly calls the Dark Carpathian novels a "sex- and magic-filled treat." Dark Destiny and the dozen other books in this New York Times best-selling series sizzle with superhuman passions and paranormal powers. With Dark Demon, the realm of the mighty Carpathians is shaken by a powerful and perilous union. A shape-shifter, Natalya hunts those who kill by night. Searching for vampires and Carpathians high in the mountains, she is as deadly as she is beautiful. Vikirnoff, a Carpathian, also hunts vampires, but his people are Natalya's enemies. One night, Vikirnoff joins Natalya in a vicious clash with vampires. Although the two are victors, the battle between their hearts and souls has just begun. Can desire overcome their ancestral enmity? Sensuous language and strands of Carpathian lore add sumptuous layers of pleasure to Dark Demon, which captured the #2 spot on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly best-seller lists. "Feehan has a knack for bringing vampiric Carpathians to vivid, virile life in her Dark Carpathian novels"-Publishers Weekly
