A new Carpathian novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling “queen of paranormal romance.”(USA Today)
Born into a world of ice, slave to her evil father, Lara Calladine knew only paralyzing fear as a child. Only by escaping with her mysterious gifts unbroken would she survive to claim her great Carpathian heritage as a Dragonseeker…
Now, Lara is in search of the source of her nightmares—the cold, dark corners of her childhood just on the edges of her memory. Only one man has the power and the will to help her: dangerous, arrogant Nicolas De La Cruz.
Together, Lara and Nicolas search the treacherous Carpathian landscape for the truth about their pasts—and discover a passion that neither has ever known before.

Summary: Warning: Torture scenes!
Comment: Warning, this book has graphic torture scenes. Just like Dark Demon. If you didn't like the torture scenes in Dark Demon, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! I hated the torture scenes. I could not finish the book due to them. I am surprised no one up to this point has stated plainly there are torture scenes in this book. Feehan has become so gothic. After Dark Celebration, I was very hopeful the Dark series would head to her more previous, happier stories (excluding Dark Desire in the newer edition). Unless she goes back into the happier, earlier version of her series, I can never read another of her newly released Dark books again. For example, what I mean by torture is a little girl wandering a sinister laboratory and witnessing Razvan and her own mother chained and tortured. I can't stand torture. It makes me literally nauseated. However, it seems I am in the minority. Feehan is, obviously, a very successful author. I just wanted to warn people like me what type of book this is.

Summary: Feehan redeemed herself with this Dark Curse!
Comment: I strongly disliked book 15 of the Dark Series (Mary Ann and Manilito's story. I disliked many things about it, but particularly, the sex scenes. Feehan redeemed herself with Dark Curse in my eyes. I really liked Lara and Nicolas's story. Nicolas was an awesome hero who showed true tenderness for his mate. I liked Lara's backstory, it was sad, but added dimension to her character. I also liked how Feehan included information on past characters that we haven't seen in a while. I do hope, though, that she will eventually take the high road and end this series on a high note. It truthfully, does not need many more stories. She keeps adding people who "might" eventually have their own story. Please, Mrs. Feehan, wrap this series up soon. For every one great dark series novel, there are two to three bad ones. Do like Mrs. Meyer and move on to something else. I highly respect Mrs. Meyer for that in itself.

Summary: Enchanting Review: Dark Curse
Comment: DARK CURSE: A CARPATHIAN NOVEL
CHRISTINE FEEHAN
Paranormal Romance
Rating: 5 Enchantments
Let's meet Nicolas De La Cruz a man yet not a man. He is a Carpathian. An ancient Vampire Hunter who is on a quest to see the prince. A mission that he is sure will be his last for he will seek the dawn at its end. But instead on a moonlit night he meets his destiny and his worlds is turned upside down.
Now for our heroine Lara Calladine as a child she went through unimaginable tortures of mind and body. Coping only with the love of her two special aunts who helped her escape her hell on earth with the last of their strength. She is now a young woman, who is going back to the place she escaped, to rescue them if she can. She is met with resistance from a man that takes her breath away and fills her heart with desire and fear.
This is a magical tale of love and redemption of two lost souls finding each other. A story of the quest of Lara Calladine to find her beloved Aunts the last of the Dragonseekers or so she believes. And of a Vampire hunter named Nicolas that will give up his last breath to save her, his lifemate, the other half of his soul. But first they must find out the truth about her past so they can save the future of the Carpathian People.
I loved this story it answered so many question I had about the Carpathian People. I actually cried for Razvan when the truth came out. The characters of Lara and Nicolas were so compelling and pulled you into their love story and you do not want to leave. I loved the gentleness of Nicolas when he realized he would have to be without Lara as a full Life mate to save the Carpathian children. I loved the courage of Lara to come to the aid of the woman she did not know to help them defeat an ancient enemy set to destroy their race. I cannot wait for the next book and I would recommend this series to any and all Lovers of the Paranormal. Ms Feehan Has created another great story that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
