DARK SENTINEL is book 32 in Christine Feehan's Carpathian
series. I'm loving these sweet, strong, and sexy Carpathian
heroes Christine Feehan has been writing lately. Andor
Katona is fighting the good fight against vampires and
miscellaneous baddies when he gets into a situation in need
of rescuing. Lorraine Peters, human and the heroine of DARK
SENTINEL, bravely jumps in the fray and saves Andor.
Lorraine is now one of my all-time favorite heroines of any
Christine Feehan book. This heroine has courage and inner
strength that the hero greatly admires. Rather than struggle
with fear and indecision, Lorraine has no trouble doing the
heavy lifting in the fight against evil vampires, doing what
needs to be done, while also accepting her limitations. As
Andor heals, Christine Feehan tells a story about strong
friendships, persistent evil, and a fierce and fabulous heroine.
The master vampire, and general thorn in the side of the
heroes is Sergey Malinov. Sergey's presence is largely in
the background, working as a puppet master to try and
manipulate both his servants and heroes alike. The monsters
in DARK SENTINEL are like something out of the classic
"Hellraiser" horror films. Due to some wicked machinations
on Sergey's part, Lorraine, Andor, and his fellow
Carpathians Gary, Sandu, and Ferro form an incredibly close
bond. The synergy displayed by these heroes, on the
battlefield and off, is heartwarming and adds depth to the
overall story. I can't wait to see what Christine Feehan
has planned for these fabulous supporting characters in
future stories.
Lorraine impresses me so much because, although she has a
tragic family history, she is resilient, pragmatic, and yet
hopeful all at the same time. When she first meets Andor,
her first thought is to help even if there is a potential
threat to her own safety, but she stays focused and doesn't
panic. When Andor reveals some extraordinary truths about
himself, Lorraine finds it hard to believe but she goes with
her spot-on instincts rather than getting spooked. I love
how Andor respects and finds Lorraine's strength
attractive, rather than try to stifle her. The attraction
that is almost instantaneous and the evolution of their
relationship is a wonderful combination of tender, sweet,
and red-hot passion. The way they work together makes their
chemistry so much more powerful and enjoyable to read.
DARK SENTINEL has a clever and fierce heroine and her alpha
hero mate who battle vampires with their fellow warriors by
their sides. Christine Feehan's Carpathian
series keeps getting better. I am eager to find out how
Elisabeta's story turns out. I look forward to reading more
about Christine Feehan's captivating Carpathians.
In an explosive novel from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Christine Feehan, a human woman ignites
the desire of her Carpathian lifemate--and of an ancient
vampire with a score to settle.
After the devastating loss of her entire family, Lorraine
Peters heads to the woods searching for peace of mind and
anything to quell the anger in her soul. Instead, she
stumbles upon a scene of horrific violence, as one man lies
helpless in the face of three attackers.
Andor Katona's existence has been a harsh one, living for
centuries as a monk in the Carpathian Mountains. Unable to
find his lifemate, he almost welcomes his release from a
colorless and unfeeling world at the hands of the vampire
hunters who have mistaken him for their prey. That is, until
a whirling ball of fury bursts onto the scene, determined to
save him.
In one glimpse, in one breath, Andor recognizes Lorraine as
his lifemate, but it will take more than their telepathic
connection to convince her of their immortal bond. Lorraine
is a lethal combination of cunning and courage. So much so
that she captures the attention of a master vampire, one who
has already lost what was once irreplaceable to him. One who
will strike with deadly precision at Andor and his ancient
Carpathian comrades in a war to end all wars. . .
