Dark Destiny (Carpathian Series #13)

by Christine Feehan Narrated by Richard Ferrone

Overview

New York Times best-selling author Christine Feehan skillfully weaves strands of the paranormal and romance to create her suspense-filled novels. When Destiny was only a child, her family was murdered and she was transformed into a Carpathian-a powerful and shadowy creature of the night, but not quite a vampire. Destiny shares a telepathic connection with Nicolae, her mentor. But now Nicolae needs to find her, or he may lose his soul and succumb to darkness forever.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Prolific Feehan (Dark Melody, etc.) continues her supernatural Dark series with this 13th installment, the first to feature a female Carpathian. Though Carpathians roam the streets at night and gain strength from feeding on blood, they only kill evildoers and vampires. Transformed into a night creature when she was a child, Destiny is unlike any of Feehan's previous heroines. Her physical strength is equal to that of her Carpathian counterpart, Nicolae Von Shrieder, but she's horrified by what she is and haunted by memories of her parents' brutal murder. Nicolae merged his mind with hers when she was first transformed, and through their mental connection, he taught her how to survive. Now Nicolae must find Destiny and make her his lifemate, or he will succumb to darkness and become a vampire. Feehan's protagonists and prose can be overwrought ("His body was hard and full, aching for her.... and deep within, the crouching beast lifted its head and roared for release"), and inconsistencies litter the text (Destiny can supposedly read Nicolae's mind, but it takes her eons to trust him and stop threatening to kill him). However, the story has sufficient sensuality to keep readers sated, and fans should appreciate Feehan's unusual pairing of two Carpathians. Agent, Helen McGrath.

OCT/NOV 05 - AudioFile

Supernatural romance writer Christine Feehan introduces a female lead to her "Dark" series. Richard Ferrone is at his sultriest with his portrayal of Nicolae, the wise Carpathian who teaches Destiny how to survive and how to love. The couple join together to destroy vampires and other demons and learn the truth behind a paranormal being that is wreaking havoc among Destiny’s human friends. Ferrone’s deep voice perfectly suits the dark tone of the story and conveys Nicolae’s desire for the spirited Destiny. His performance of Destiny is equally credible as he softens his voice appropriately to portray a woman. K.M.D. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
