After centuries of service to his people, Nicolas De La
Cruz prepares to greet the dawn. First he'd like to indulge
himself, just once. Surely after all the years he's served
as a hunter, he deserves this one indulgence. And so he
finds a woman, calls her to him, and prepares to drain her
life on the night before he takes his own. Nicolas De La
Cruz has just picked the wrong woman.
Dragonseeker blood runs strong in Lara. Reluctant mage and
warrior, Lara endured a horrific childhood and when she
finally escaped the depravity of her family, all she wanted
to be was normal. To fit in. To live a quiet life,
unremarkable and alone. But not so quiet that she'll let a
vampire drain her dry without a fight.
After a tumultuous first encounter in which Nicolas
realizes he's just attacked his life mate, the two settle
into a routine...of sorts. Nicolas tries to pull his mate to
him with all sorts of dark and delicious temptations, while
Lara pushes him away with everything she has. Either they
will learn to love and let go of the past, or they will die
together to be reborn and try again in the next life.
Another one of the sexy De La Cruz brothers meets his match
in DARK CURSE, the newest novel in Christine
Feehan's wildly popular Carpathian series. There's
quite a bit of important back story and information in this
volume that moves the story along nicely. Conspiracies are
uncovered, treacheries are revealed, and at the heart of it
all, the noble (and hot) Carpathians are protecting the
world from evil.
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.
It's a good book, I read it yesterday, and was a little disappointed in the ending - kind-of open ended, like there should be at least another page or two to go if not more. I hope that the next book in the series will smooth that out... The first part was a bit slow for this series, but the last half sped up quite a bit.
