Fans of Christine Feehan’s Dark series have been waiting a decade or so for this book. For some, there is no way anything she were to write would satisfy after a build like this. Others will be so glad to get the story, that it will be an automatic 5 star read. I’ll be honest, I went into this one with my expectations at an all-time low. The past few books have been so disappointing that I was ready to quit the series. Until I found out that Skyler and Dmitri were finally on the horizon. I’m pleased to say that I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would.
As the story begins, Dmitri is in the custody of the Lycans. He is being tortured for being a mixed blood. None of the Carpathians can find him. In fact, Skyler doesn’t even think they are looking. So she teams us with her friends Josef and Paul for a rescue mission. Let me stop here and share a few thoughts right off the bat. Skyler is one powerful young woman. She is also smart, resourceful, and determined to save her man. I loved that. But what I loved even more is that Dimitri accepted that. Of course, he wanted her to stay safe, but unlike most Carpathian males, he did not forbid her assistance. He was worried for her, but he listened to her. He respected her need to help him and her ability to be smart about it.
Back to the story. Dimitri is really messed up…. like, almost dead. Yet he never succumbs. He fights to live for Skyler. And about the first third of the book is tied up in his rescue. From then on, it’s about healing and dealing with the increasing tensions between the Carpathian and Lycan people. Tension, that could boil over into a war.
The plot was fairly good. But the best thing this book had going for it was the romance and its key players.Read more ›

After reading Fen's book, I was a little disappointed with how short changed it felt he and Tatjana were in the romance plot department. I didn't know it could get worse.
I've been waiting for Skyler and Dmitri's book for nearly 20 books now... At least since Gabriel's story when we first met them and realized they were lifemates. I can't believe that after all this time and all the build up to their storyline, THIS is the treatment they get. Maybe it's because of Skyler's age but this book reads like a racy YAF-type book. If I was asked to describe it, I'd say it's more about the potential Lycan-Carpathian war than it is about Skyler and Dmitri.
It is palpably obvious that this sange-rau/Han- ku-whatever theme is being dragged out for the trilogy. This book spent most of the time dealing with this issue and to no effect, no significant progress was made from Fen's book and we didn't even get another party to show off all the cute Carpathian kiddies.
I've been so excited anticipating this book, I even pre-ordered it and kept checking from midnight release day whether it had loaded up on my kindle. I have to say I'm disappointed. Obviously this is readable because it's Christine Feehan but it also feels really disjointed, rushed and has lost the basic thing the author is awesome at- writing about the healing power of love for a damaged hero/heroine. This book to me was mostly spells, chants, all those things that the author has gotten more into the last 10 or so books. I could have done with fewer pages of Skyler's mage spells and a little more of her and Dmitri's romantic relationship.
Where this book shines is the times Sky and Dmitri are together. His consideration, understanding and love for her and her willingness to sacrifice her life for him.Read more ›

Despite the horror of Skyler's past, this novel was written to have a lot of lighthearted, happy moments with plenty of action and plot development rather than focusing on angst. Skyler is older, more confident and she loves Dimitri. It's really Skyler & Dimitri vs Zealot Lycans rather than Skyler & Dimitri vs Skyler's PTSD though she still has a few revelations which help with character development.
Story commences two weeks after Dimitri was abducted in Dark Lycan. Dark Lycan should really be read first to best keep the story continuity since we are introduced to Skyler/Dimitri's present day romance in that book.
Right off I was struck that she freely touches her friends and acquaintances with no mention that in Dark Celebration/age 16 she couldn't handle the psychic impressions she received so it was constantly reiterated that she avoided touching or being touched (much like Raven from Dark Prince book 1). It must be presumed she got powerful enough to block impressions and learned to be playful from her friendship with Josef (Byron's nephew, Dark Symphony) & Paul (Colby's younger brother, Dark Secret) and her adopted parents since there's a lot of casual touching/hugs kisses etc.
Comic relief for several chapters comes with Josef and Paul who help her rescue Dimitri. Personally, I found it refreshing. All the ancient Carpathian stoic males are getting repetitive and it was fun to see youth introduced instead of droll references to being a prankster a 1000 years ago and typical dry witty banter. But things aren't shaken up too much because Zev, Fen, and Tatijana come back into the story while the series plot thickens. (Branislava does not make an appearance until the end.Read more ›
