Book Description
There's only one way for Dominic-one of the most powerful of the Carpathian Dragonseekers-to learn the secrets of the enemy: ingest their parasitic vampire blood, infiltrate the camp, and relay the information to the Carpathians. But to do it, he first has to make it out of the camp alive.
About the Author
I live in the beautiful mountains of Lake County, California. I have always loved hiking, camping, rafting and being outdoors. I’ve also been involved in the martial arts for years—I hold a third degree black belt, instruct in a Korean karate system, and have taught self-defense. I am happily married to a romantic man who often inspires me with his thoughtfulness. We have a yours, mine, and ours family, claiming eleven children as our own. I have always written books, forcing my ten sisters to read every word, and now my daughters read and help me edit my manuscripts. It is fun to take all the research I have done on wild animals, raptors, vampires, weather, and volcanoes and put it together with romance.

The Carpathian Novel I have been waiting for,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dark Peril (Hardcover)
This book is a love story with a plot concerning conspiring vampires, evil jaguarmen and misguided humans as the background of the actual story of Dominic and Solange.Like the earliest Carpathian Novels, this book is primarily about two appealing but very isolated people who have found each other and are learning how to love and trust after each was resigned to a life alone. Dominic Dragonseeker has been intriguing since he was first introduced several books back and most of us who love this "Dark" series have been hoping he would eventually have his own book. I am glad Christine Feehan waited until she got the story of the evil Xavier out of the way. Frankly, the last two novels, Dark Curse and Dark Slayer, were not my favourites; too much repetition about toxic ice caves and viruses or nematodes or whatever they were. Lots of Wiccan kind of dancing to Mother Earth, bad poetry and male posturing with relatively unappealing characters. Whenever Dominic made a brief appearance in the earlier novels he stole the stage. So I am delighted in this book he lives up to all my expectations. When he strolls into a group of master vampires and they all step back, recognizing that a legend has joined them it was a thrilling moment and I believed completely in their anger and their awe. Dominic never lets us down and manages to be a super Alpha male without being tiresome about it. The man has class! Solange has been interesting since we first met her many books ago and she also does not disappoint. Her absolute confidence as a warrior and her total lack of confidence as a woman is realistic and touching. The gradual joining of these two very lonely people is the focus of this book and, like Feehan's latest in the Drake or SeaHaven series, "Water Bound," most of the novel takes place in a home(cabin or cave,notwithstanding) and is primarily about the delicate creation of an intimate connection. I was delighted to spend some time with Zacharias De La Cruz since we have been getting hints about this uber dominant Carpathian male for several stories now. I have my fingers crossed if he does find his own life mate Feehan will take the same care exploring his character as she has done with Dominic and Solange.

seemed rushed,

This review is from: Dark Peril (Hardcover)
I was looking forward to Dominic's story, but I was disappointed with Ms. Feehan's handling of the characters,as well as the abrupt ending to the storyline.Solange was too quick to accept her fate considering her previous behaviour with the De La Cruz men; Dominic was too easy going considering his ingestion of vampiric parasites and the conversion was virtually non existent. As for the conclusion, it was so abrupt, it felt that Ms. Feehan was in a hurry to get the story published, that she rushed the final chapter. Zacharius is possibly the next Carpathian to find his lifemate, and hopefully, his storyline is a little more interesting than Dominic's and Solange.

This review is from: Dark Peril (Hardcover)
I was very disappointed in this book. It seems like Ms. Feehan is getting tired of writing these books as much as we are getting tired of reading them. Hopefully Zacharias is the next one and hopefully he lives up to his reputation. Dominic was very boring and Solange, with all her hang-ups, just never seemed to interest me. I can honestly say that this is the first of all the Dark books that I did not like.
