Every single time I tell myself I am done with this series, something ends up pulling me back to try just one more. And every time, I regret it. In this case, Christine Feehan promised the beginning of a trilogy surrounding the long awaited Skyler and Dimitri pairing. True, this is not technically their book, but their HEA arc begins here. Feehan has been dropping little snippets of this couple for-ever. I have no doubt the promise of their story will drive even reluctant readers to pick up this book. And they will regret it too.
The Skyler - Dimitri promise is real. We do get to see them finally moving toward their romance. At least, I can tell you that was not a tease. But I can also tell you that I was bored to tears and I had to force myself to finish the book. (P.S. Apparently, S & D fell in love off page. They were all "my love" and "beloved" to each other. I was like, wha?)
The hero of the book is actually Dimitri's brother, Fenris. He has been away from the Carpathian people for centuries. While out hunting vampires, he fell in with a pack of Lycans and exchanged blood with them, turning him into a hybrid of the two species. The hybrids, AKA Sange rau, are more than the sum of their parts. They are stronger, faster, and nearly impossible to kill -which is a real problem if they turn vampire. So the Lycans have an elite team to track them and wipe them out. They don't know the difference between Capathian and vampire, so Fenris must keep his hybrid blood a secret.
He is tracking a vampire hybrid (I refuse to call them Sange rau because I grew so sick of reading that in the book) when he stumbles across Tatijana. She is one of the Dragonseeker aunts who were rescued from the caves where they were trapped by Xavier.Read more ›

The last book I've read in the DARK series that I really loved was the Carpathian reunion. The earlier books are the best...favorite being Francesca/Gabriel's story. As with every fan I am awaiting Skyler's and Dimitri's story so I thought I should read this first to catch up on what has been happening since the reunion. This book was okay, a little boring in some places and found myself skimming pages. I liked that Tatijana (spelled?) had a strong personality and got right in the fights...no staying at home and being "protected" because she is a woman. But her strength also made Fen a little weak to me. I like my alphas to be take charge strong characters. Im not sure how to describe it...Fen wasnt a "wuss" but he wasnt like Gabriel or Lucian. That being said, it is a prelude into the very long awaited book of Skyler and Dimitri's; which we all have been waiting for!!

While this book started off well, it was essentially nothing more than a short story glued together with several neverending battle scenes. There was hardly any character or plot development and while it was great to see old favourites it wasn't like Dark Celebration which I loved. There just wasn't enough plot! Unlike the majority of fans, I actually loved the last book, Dark Storm as it was a proper Amazon adventure and the hero was lovely, unlike the awful de la Cruz brothers who I was getting so over. I know the ending was a bit lame but the majority of the book was great. With this book, I know it is part of a trilogy but this was her first book where she really hasnt wrapped things up properly, or at all. It is almost like you can see the road map ahead for the next two books and I just hope they are not as predictable as this one - conversation... long fight .... take some blood... sleep ... conversation ... long fight... blood .... long fight.... short conversation ...the end.
I was also a little annoyed about how Skyler and Dimitri appear to have fallen in love and accepted their relationship off screen. This would have been a great plot to see how this happened and hopefully Christine will go back in time a bit in her next instalment.
I did have high expectations for this book which is probably why I am disappointed. I will definitely be reading Skyler and Dimitri's book, and hope Dimitri is a bit more exciting in the next book that he was in this one. I know he wasn't centre stage in DArk Lycan but it did come across as a bit two dimensional! Zev seemed a more interesting character and hopefully his romance with Bronnie is a bit more exciting on the plot side than this one!Read more ›

I love the Dark Series by Christine Feehan, but lets face it ...sometimes she misses. Like Poor Byron and his dud of a lifemate. Now Dark Lycan I was really looking forward to as Tatijana was a character ripe for development and could have been a great read...but right off the bat, she meets Fenris and a few minutes later, when the two are about to be attacked, this woman who only just come out into the modern world after hundreds of years as a prisoner, isolated from all Carpathians, says "I've got your back". Totally anachronistic for the character! The book goes downhill from there as Christine makes just another warrior woman out of what could have been a woman of depth with facets of damage that a lifemate could have helped heal. And there was NO tension between the two main characters, which Feehan can do so well in other stories, but I am wondering if she actually wrote this book. Dud of a story. Very disappointing. And I have it in paperback, dammit.
