If you want a great read you really need to read this series.Ms Feehan is a wonderful writter and has an imagination the surpasses so many authors. I love to read to escape the real world and so I only real fantasy type books so I can go out of myself and go somewhere far away.And all her books do that for me.The love scenes are wonderful and I feel like I am the lucky woman the hero loves. |

Deliciously Entertaining |

Deliciously entertaining. A sad human element lurks in the tortured soul of Destiny, a young woman caught in a world of the damned and the terror of her childhood past. But a voice reaches out to her, kind and loving. It belongs to her savior, the man fated to be by her side. But even as she tries to resist him, she can't help being snared by the hope of another existence, a place where she can hope and dream, reaching freely for the one thing that matters - Nicolae. With his strong arms around her, battling evil to protect her, she finds in Nicolae, a place of new reality - a place where she can love. |

Carpathian stories are becoming redundant |
This story is much like other Carpathian stories in that the male goes beyond alpha and into a unhealthy controlling mode. Destiny has power of her own but Nicolae seems unwilling to stand back and allow her to use it without his input. While she is stronger than some other Dark Series women, she still is forced to submit part of independence to her "lifemate" in a way that I, as a woman, find irritating at best.
Another characteristic of the Carpathian novels is the endless passages of narrative. Very little of it seems to be vital to the storytelling and all of it makes me yawn. I do recommend the series to insomniacs, however. It works wonders for putting me to sleep.
I think the most frustrating thing about Feehan's "Dark" books to me is that I've read her other two series, the Drake Sisters and the Ghostwalkers, and both of those feature strong women and strong men who balance each other, as well as intense action, strong narrative and engaging dialog. Where those series keep the reader turning pages, this entire series is ultimately forgetable and repetitive.
I'd recommend skipping not only Dark Destiny, but the Carpathian series as a whole and reading either the Drakes or the Ghostwalkers instead. |
