Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the 12th installment in Feehan's paranormal Dark series (Dark Symphony, etc.), she again creates a richly evocative fantasy world in which immortal Carpathian males search for their "lifemates" and battle soulless vampires. When young telepathic widow Corinne Wentworth walks into the bar where Carpathian Dayan, of the legendary band the Dark Troubadours, is playing, he immediately recognizes her as his lifemate ("He heard the soft murmur of her voice, and at once his world changed"). Difficulties lie ahead for the couple, not the least of which is that the men who murdered her husband are hunting her and her sister-in-law, Lisa. Corinne's weak heart is also a major source of conflict. The question of whether it will be strong enough to withstand her transformation from human to Carpathian may leave readers with real doubts as to whether a happy ending is in store for this well-matched pair. Though Corinne's delicate condition forces Dayan to treat her with extreme care, their love scenes still sizzle. Feehan's prose is occasionally melodramatic and her descriptions cliched ("Dayan resembled a sculpture of a Greek god"), but this may be her most emotionally engaging installment to date.

From Booklist
The twelfth in the Dark series featuring Carpathians, a blood-sucking superior race that battles both vampires and a fanatical antivampire organization, will be welcomed by Feehan's fans, who have superior abilities to suspend disbelief. Dayan, guitar player and singer in the band Dark Troubadours, finds the life mate who will keep him from dying or turning into a vampire in Corinne Wentworth, a pregnant widow with telekinetic powers. She has a heart condition that could end her life at any time, and she is also a target of the people who killed her husband. Dayan cannot turn her into a Carpathian until her daughter is born, but it turns into an epic struggle to keep her alive, with several Carpathians converging to save her. Diana Tixier Herald

The Reunion I Was Waiting For!,
By
This review is from: Dark Melody (The Carpathians (Dark) Series Book 10) (Mass Market Paperback)
Dark Melody is the reunion book. I have awaited this book with anticipation and dread. I feared that this book would not measure up to the older ones that I felt were Christine's best. Dark Melody was pure reading pleasure.Dayan is lead guitarist for the Dark Troubadours. His voice seduces and mesmerizes all who listens. He is at a bar playing a melody that is dark and moody. His hunger and overwhelming yearning are poured forth into his song for he is calling to her. His lifemate. He despertely needs to be saved for the darkness within is growing enormously strong. Corrine Wentworth enters the bar and immediately changes Dayan's bleak world forever. Yet, despite the fact that Corrie has telekenetic powers, she is pregnant and dying. Dayan cannot risk saving her until her child is born for her heart is too weak. At any moment, death could claim her. Desperate to save her and himself from the darkness within, Dayan summons the rest of the healers together. I loved reading about the reunion between Gregori and Darius. Gregori (my all time favorite) displayed awesome power as he tried to save Corrie and her child. It felt like the older Dark books where the all powerful males (Gregori, Mikhail, Jaques, etc.) joined together during times of peril. How I missed reading about them! I only wished that Mikhail was there. This reader hopes that more reunions are planned for future Dark books. Those earlier Dark books have a special place on my bookshelf.

Dark Series Rocks!,
By Nikki "loveseals" (Phoenix Az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Melody (The Carpathians (Dark) Series Book 10) (Mass Market Paperback)
I never read romance novels, but Feehan's Vampire series is very, very good! I stumbled upon the first book "Dark Prince" and plunged head first into the series afer that. It's got a little more sex in it than I am used to in my vamp books, but her writing skills are phenomenal. I highly reccommend her as an author!

Dark Melody,
By Mindy "Mindy" (Salem, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Melody (The Carpathians (Dark) Series Book 10) (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be my favorite of all of Ms. Feehan's Dark Series. It had a thicker plot and a twist... the lead female has a failing heart. Also, unlike the others, this female has been married before, and isn't some quivering virgin. The romance between the main couple is both hot, and very sweet. This book is a great book for anyone who loves a romance novel with a twist.
