Andre Boroi has spent centuries battling the undead and holding out against the dark that threatens him, with honor. He has spent most of his life as a DARK GHOST but longs for someone to see him. Things have changed even in his dark world with the vampires banding together, making it harder for the Carpathian warriors to defeat them alone.

Teagan Joanes is a geologist with psychic abilities. She feels the power of the crystals she searches for and has come to the Carpathian Mountains in search of one particular crystal, one that will save her grandmother's sanity. Little does she know that the "friend" she has trusted to escort her is no friend and that she is going to come across the one man in the whole world who will love and understand her.

First of course, she has to help heal Andre, who has been badly hurt by a vampire. Next she will have to believe the strange tale he is telling her about those evil beings, being a lifemate and then help him kill vampires. No problem for a modern woman. Having brought the life and light back into his world, Andre has a lot to learn about modern women and she is more than capable of teaching him what he needs to know.

DARK GHOST is another incredible, fast paced offering from the Carpathian world of author Christine Feehan. In this book, we are introduced to Andre and his sad but intriguing past and Teagan, who is the living embodiment of a modern woman with funny quirks and an outlook on life that is endearing. A new twist to the Carpathians is a look into Monks living in the monastery in the mountain, a group of men struggling with the darkness bonded together to help keep their honor. I hope this means more stories in the future.

Ms. Feehan's men are old fashioned, protective, alpha males but they are also smart enough to know that the women who bring light and love to their lives need to be who they are born to be. If you, as I have, read from the first Carpathian novel (DARK PRINCE) you will see the growth and acceptance these men have gone through (though some have fought and continue fighting) to see their women as more than someone who needs taken care of. I did feel that the ending was rushed and abrupt, that of course could be simply that I always hate to see one of Ms. Feehan's books end. Simply put, if you love Ms. Feehan's Carpathian warriors you will want to grab up DARK GHOST.

SUMMARY

In the new novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling “queen of paranormal romance,” (J.R. Ward) a wounded warrior and a woman on the run find salvation, passion and unimaginable danger in the ghostly darkness of the Carpathian Mountains… He wasn’t civilized or tame. He had his own code and he lived by it. Monk. Bounty hunter. Vampire slayer. Andre Boroi has spent centuries battling the undead, holding out against the dark with honor. But now, gravely wounded by master vampire Costin Popescu, Andre will be easy to track—his spilled blood marking the killing trail for Popescu and his hungry band of underlings. Andre’s only chance is to disappear into the gray mist of the Carpathians. To wait. To hope. She had a healing touch and a scent that was his lifeblood. In the mountains in search of a precious crystal, geologist Teagan Joanes suddenly finds herself hunted by those she once trusted. Then she comes across the warrior—wounded, wanting and irresistible. Andre has been craving her for an eternity: his lifemate. Her warmth envelops him. Her scent pulsates. And with every beat of her heart, Teagan surrenders to a passion she can’t possibly comprehend. Now they are bound by destiny, but is it enough to keep them safe from a stalking, relentless darkness that threatens to swallow them alive?
