Carpathian novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling “queen of paranormal
romance.”
Gabrielle has had enough of battles, of wars, of seeing Gary Jansen, the man
she loves nearly lose his life when it isn’t even his fight. Once he was a
gentle and very human researcher. Now he’s a fearless and lethal Carpathian
warrior with the blood of an ancient lineage coursing through his veins—a man
Gabrielle still needs and desires and dreams of with every breath she takes.
All she wants is a life far away from the Carpathian mountains, far from
vampires and the shadows cast by the crumbling monastery that hides so many
terrible secrets. But Gabrielle soon learns that promises made in the dark can
pierce the heart like a dagger.
And she isn’t the only one in search of answers in the corners of the
unknown…
Trixie Joanes has come to the Carpathian mountains in search of her wayward
granddaughter, fearing that she has been lured there by something unspeakable.
Instead, Trixie has stumbled into the path of a desperate man and a woman in
love and on the run. And they’re all fated for the lair of a mysterious ancient
with revenge in his soul and the undying power to make bad dreams come true.

My Review:
that I received for review, and the twenty-ninth of the series. The Dark series
revolves around Carpathians, an immortal race of beings with animal instincts. The
previous two books I read where definitely enjoyable, so I was excited to start
reading.
really know what I think of it. Overall I missed a storyline in this book. There
wasn’t much of a story there, besides a lot of sex scenes. Not that it was bad
to read, but I just missed action (not the sex kind) and real meaningful conversations.
I felt like these characters just really didn’t got to know each other and I
surely did not get to know them, other than what kind of sexual habits they
had. Not really what I had in mind when I started reading this book.
which means they are made for each other and can’t life apart from one another
after they ‘bonded’. I did like these characters. Especially since Aleksei was
this bad guy, but he was really sweet (most times at least) with Gabrielle. I
love that in romance novels. The bad guy, and the good girl who makes him a
better person.. who doesn’t love that kind of story?! But there was just way to
much sex in this book and after the first couple of chapters it began to bother
me.
were Trixie and Fane. And well.. Trixie is a grandma in her sixties.. I really
didn’t expect to read about her having a relationship. I was just so surprised
when this storyline began.. I liked Trixie’s character, but I really didn’t need
to read about her having sex.
thing. It wasn’t super bad, but it just didn’t have enough of a story in it for
me.
