Following my heart, one book at a time...
Kelly highly recommends these:
“… take a bit of time to read christine feehan Dark Series and her Leopard Series they are very good.”
and Tammy says: “… they were full of adventure, shapeshifting and romance, just what I love.”
About the series:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan first introduced readers to the Leopard People in this erotic novel of passion and suspense.
The Awakening: The Novella That Introduced the Leopard People
HUGE LOVE for this steamy-sexy paranormal series!
Rebecca: This is one of my favourite series of all time! I’ve reread all of these multiple times over the years. Imagine KA’s alpha men, genetically modified to create super human weapons (some of the women too), and working for a secret Govt agency that now want to eliminate their experiments. Written very contemporary/romantic suspense, I connected to these far more than her Dark Series.
Kalua: I LOVE this series!! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. As soon as I finish one book, I am ready to read another. I’ve read Viper and can’t wait for the next book.
Dark Legend (The Carpathians (Dark) Series, Book 7)
Another installment read, in my vast collection of Christine Feehan novels, and I found myself having a hard time finishing this one. What actually kept me going was my interest in the secondary character, Lucian. And from what I can tell about the next book (his book), I might have more interest in it, than this one
Gabriel and Lucian (twins) were both known as great warriors to the Carpathian Race. Legendary. Lucian, having already succumbed to the darkness (now vampire), and Gabriel (still without a healing lifemate), felt like he was quickly succumbing to the same fate. His only solution was to bind his brother to him and remain under the earth indefinitely in an ancient slumber. Thought to be long dead, Gabriel unexplainably awakens from his resting place. As he rises, he also senses that Lucian (his twin that he has forcibly locked in a restful sleep) is also rising. Problem. Gabriel must hunt and destroy him at all cost, a promise he made to Lucian long ago.
Dark Fire (The ‘Dark’ Carpathian Book 6)
I decided to go “old school” this weekend, and pulled out something that I knew was going to be an easy, quick, and romantically satisfying read. This one’s going to be a quick review, because after book #4, when it comes to this series, it’s essentially pretty much the same story over and over again,
That said, I am still utterly compelled to read each one. Of course, not all in a row. That would be maddening. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed books one, two and three (and sorta, four, but the repetition was getting to me at that point, and when I was done, I threw it across the room, out of frustration). What I do like about these books is that they almost always involve a human female, and the intensity of the love that the Carpathian make develops for her is just so…amazing, sigh-inducing, heartwarming. It’s just a non-stop deluge of love and passion. If you look at it from a different perspective, however, it’s also quite creepy. If this were a human male acting this way, people would be telling her to RUN! But whatever, he’s an ancient, powerful immortal, and well… just go with it 😉
This is an extremely romance-focused vampire series (but with lots of action and danger).
As per the author’s website:
He came to her in the night, a predator — strength and power chiseled his features. The seduction was deep and elemental; he affected her soul. His need. His darkness. His terrible haunting loneliness. Her senses aroused, she craved the dangerous force of his body. Burned for him. And he had only touched her with his mind.
Here are a couple of my own reviews!
As per the author in regards to a “related” book (not in the above list: The Scarletti Curse):
