Product Details

Product Description

From 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.

From Booklist

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. Although this is part of Feehan's popular Dark series, it's quite accessible to readers new to the world of the Carpathians. Diana Tixier Herald

3.0 out of 5 stars Getting way to complicated and off topic, Jul 24 2004
By Laura Landry (St Luc, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
Ok I am have really enjoyed the Dark Series so far, but Christine is getting way too bogged down with the history of the Carpathians. She keeps mentioning the Morrison Center, the connections with Wizards and the human pyschics who can be converted.

Each new human femaled introduced is more powerful than the last. From Raven who would get ill being around evil people to Dayan's lifemate who could make things move with her mind. These women are getting more and more boring. The first stories were great....how the hero would be stunned at meeting his lifemate, convincing her, a couple of vampire fights, and happily everafter. Now it's, oh you are Carpathian, you drink blood, you want me to...ok no problem. Piece of cake.

Yes, the guys are now actively looking for lifemates and are not surprised when they find them, but the women don't seem to be either.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a series kind of person and,, Jul 22 2004
I enjoy reading books that start off as a series and going forward with a long drawn out ending forcing the reader to go from book to book to see how things turn out for the hero/heroine, sadly, this is the first (CF) book I have read and out of order at that but the good news is that I LOVED IT and have ordered the books ahead of this one. I can't wait to get started on them!

4.0 out of 5 stars The series continues, Jul 21 2004
This is probably one of the best books I've come across in a long time. The only other two that knocked my socks off were "Shadow Divers" and "The Bark of the Dogwood." I would of course recommend "Dark Destiny" to anyone who's a fan of the series already, because while Feehan does tend to go off on her cause tangents and get a little preachy, the book still works well as part of the series and furthers the storyline of the Carpathians in general. Also, there are three contributions to the series that came before it: Dark Symphony, Dark Melody, and the story in the anthology The One and Only: Read them all if you get a chance.
