Dark Slayer


Ratings: * * * * (out of 5 *)
Genre: Paranormal Romance

For all Christine Feehan Fans out there, this book must not be missed! It takes a dramatic twist at every turn! There will be no disappointment I swear to that.


Newbies out there, you need to read a couple of books before this one otherwise, you might not. Lifemating and hated enemies that run centuries deep can be tricky. This book is all about Razvan, the mage's grandson, and Ivory Malinov, the feisty little girl who grew up to be a warrior.


Each character has something to prove and both of them share a will stronger than death.
So, why only 4 out of 5 stars? I love the book. I like bickering big he-mens and women who knows how to fight. Unfortunately, this book borders on pure fantasy. The hero and heroine have no conflict in their relationship. They each quietly accept it as fate and teach each other value, truth, love and fighting techniques. Spells, poems, brush with death can be expected and of course, there will be a Master Vampire involved. In this case, it is Ivory's brother Sergey.

Families collide and families unite in this gripping tale.
Read her Dark Series! It's good!

This book is more intense than the previous six Drake Sisters Novels.

Dark Curse by Chrisitine Feehan

Ratings: * * * * (out of 5 *)
Genre: Paranormal Romance

The 19th Book to Christine Feehan's Dark Series. Feehan has never disappointed and her books are getting deeper and deeper to the problems with Carpathians and vampires. This time, when the plot thickened, the people of the earth bonded together.

Her Carpathian men are swirling with testosterone and that includes our hero, Nicolas De La Cruz. Nicolas is the middle of the five De La Cruz brothers who resided in the Amazon. The eldest, Zacarias, sent him with information to the prince of his people who is half the world away in the Carpathian Mountains. On the way to meeting the prince, he meets his lifemate and his world has met a metanoia.

Nicolas always believed in a fairytale ending where his lifemate would fall madly in love with him, have tons of babies and stay at home. He gets the opposite. She had a strong will and a fire in her. Sex is something she cannot tolerate because she cannot bare to be touched. Her powers are explosive to the point of endangering everyone. Worse, the Carpathian people need her powers.

Danger is at their doors. The endangered Carpathian must deal with mutated bacterias, pollutants, mages and marital struggles as they find a way to save their race.

I'm spoiling a lot already. One thing I must say, this is a must-read and the series is a must-collect. Who knew Carpathians, vampires, werewolves, jaguars and mages would combine in a world we are very ignorant of.

Extra treat for Feehan fans: Gregori will get a scolding form Father-in-law and his dear older brother.

My Immortal Highlander

Ratings: * * * (out of 5 *)
Genre: Fanta-Historical Romance



A two-part novel by Hannah Howell and Lindsay Sands, My Immortal Highlander is about identical Twins Bothan and Calum NacNachton. Twins who went their own ways and found brides. Each becoming a laird in medieval Scotland.


Rumors hound the MacNachtons. They were said to be demons preying on souls of virgins and bairns but that was not so for the women who found themselves in situations that called for big strong men that were more than human.


Hannah Howell's The Hunt stars Bothan. He searches for an Outsider, one who is not of clan, to be his bride. Centuries of inbreeding had weakened them. His father made sure to mix their blood and dilute their curse. So Bothan and his siblings delve in two worlds. He can come out in the day but takes precaution to hide behind a thick cloak. They drink blood when weakened and heal very fast. Destiny has sent him to the aid of Kenna Brodie who's murderous uncle claims her inheritance Bantulach from her. Together, they must vanquish foe and dark rumors and as all good romance do, have a happy ending.


Lindsay Sand's The Rescue deals with Calum. Lonely from being separated from his twin, now a laird, Calum sets out in quests that takes him away from his home. As fate had brought his brother to a woman in need, so he too faces an heiress in trouble. Seems marriage was the only solution. Will he take the plunge? Can she and her people accept a vampire laird?


The story, the set and the concept is good but it leaves the reader hanging. I felt it was an abrupt ending and it needed expansions.
