Every time I sit down to read a novel by Christine Feehan I'm find myself torn
between excitement and dread. I am a huge fan of paranormal novels. Okay,
I'm a little obsessed and Feehan drew me into that world. I fell in love with
the Carpathian race and it's prince Mickael in the first book and have
patiently waited for each new book to arrive. With each new story I devour it
makes me yearn for more to see what will happen next to the characters I
have come to love.
So when I say I dread reading her books it's the thought of having to wait six
months to a year for the next installment. Christine delivered in her trilogy of
Dark Hunter novels that have truly introduced werewolves into the world
that
she has created and this is the third in that series. And a story that fans have
been waiting for years to see.
DARK BLOOD story is about Zev, an elite warrior, a dark-blood dealer of death to
rogue Lycans who preyed on mankind and Branislava one of the strongest
Carpathian females alive who is also half-mage. This story delves further into
the politics of the two races. It is full of love, danger, and deceit as two races
that have been at war for ages are forced to work together against a more
dangerous threat from within. DARK BLOOD brings together so many elements,
locations, and families into one story. The author has spent years building a
whole world, species, and language that makes this story so intricate and
fascinating for her readers.
I had no idea of her hopes for this world when I first began this series. While
I was waiting for DARK BLOOD to be released, it gave me the chance to glance
back
and I was blown away by how far these characters have come. Everything
they have suffered and done to try to survive as a species.
At long last you are truly back with us...
Zev Hunter was an elite warrior, a dark-blood dealer of
death to rogue Lycans who preyed on mankind. He was a
loner,
never given to personal attachments, and damned fierce at
his job. But Zev begins to question his past and his
purpose
when he awakens in the darkness of the sacred cave of
warriors—and is soothed back to consciousness by the
sensuously familiar voice of one woman, the woman who has
haunted his fantasies for centuries. She was Branislava,
member of the Dragonseeker clan.
Mother Earth called the ancients to witness your rebirth.
For this half-mage, half-Carpathian temptress, the ritual
of
awakening Zev to the council of warriors was the only way
to
save him. Locked away for his own protection, the time has
now come for his rebirth, for his blood to stir with that
of
the ancient warriors before him. He has been assured by
Branislava that their fates are entwined, that their
spirits
are woven together for eternity and that his new purpose
in
life is beyond imagining.
Now, with a blood-sworn vow of honor, mercy and endurance,
and under the influence of a siren as bewitching as
Branislava, Zev begins to wonder what his purpose is, what
it means for the future of the Carpathians and what it is
about his rebirth that he has to fear.
