1: Diving into the Dark
I love the continuing story of the Carpathians and can't wait to read more. Please keep them coming!

2: Great read!
Ok I just have to say I dont see how this book got anything but great reviews. I just got around to reading it and I have to admit, it did start out a little slow for me, but a few chapters into it I was thoroughly loving it, and by halfway through I realized CF had outdone herself again. This was really welcome for me bc I wasnt in love with her last novel in the dark series, even though I liked it it was just lacking for me, but this novel had everything. The main characters were great together and apart, there was plenty of great interaction from many other of the carpathians and the best part was how much this book furthered her storyline. It really kept me hooked and was probably the most moving of all the Dark novels. There was real genuine conflict and sacrifice but we still were left with a good feeling at the end and there is plenty of room for future stories just based on this one installment. An absolute A+ for ms. feehan!

3: Vampires, Dragons, and Mages Oh My!
Lara, a slave to her evil father, she knew only paralyzing fear as a child. Human, yet mage, yet dragon seeker -- she is of the blood of three species yet belongs to none. She is now a loner, guided by the wisdom of her aunts (the only ones who showed her love as a child)--she only wishes to blend in and let no one know of her ancestry and powers.
Now grown Lara is the leading expert in the field of ice cave study around the world and the healing microorganisms that thrive in them. She's also in search of something else: the source of her nightmares--the cold dark corners of her childhood. Only one man has the will and the powers to help her: Nicolas De La Cruz, for whom centuries of hunting and killing have long since taken their toll. Dangerous and arrogant, he still longs to feel sensual love without the hunger for blood. Now, between Lara and Nicolas, a tenuous trust has emerged, and a passion neither has ever known before as a melody of dark promise begins.
Spoiler: This newest installment to Freehan's Dark Series has more of a plot then most. I found this particular book to be darker then usual and the characters considerably more deep. I didn't necessarily like it though. Her Carpathian male was your typical brooding dangerous man. Although, he is considerably more understanding then the other Carpathians she wrote of, in fact he is tremendously understanding. Lara -- his life mate was annoying at times, and I found myself dreading her constant flashbacks and wining. It left me feeling sorry for poor Nicolas who certainly has his hands full attending to Lara's low self esteem and suicidal tendencies. I didn't feel near as much anticipation as I did for Freehan's other charters in the prior installments, instead I found myself wanting to hurrying up and get it over with.

4: Dark Curse (The Carpatians) Dark Series, Book 16
I have read the entire Dark Series and always check Ms. Feehan's website for any new publishing's to continue the Dark dream. This is a story steeped in European history and folk lore which you will enjoy learning about while you read about men who need life mates to keep from turning to the dark.

5: A torture to read.
This book is so boring that I have to make myself to finish reading. A waste of time.
