Book Details
Christine Feehan’s Dark Series is a paranormal romance series that is one of the longest running book series published today.
Please know that she is coming out with all new covers for this book series, so not all of them will look the same.
Some facts you need to know about the series:
Each Carpathian male has to hear his lifemate’s voice to be able to see color and experience emotions again. When he finds her, they both have to adjust to being together. All of the men are old-old-old fashioned with old school ideas and thoughts. Each of the women are modern and independent. Each story is how they adjust to each other and the compromising that they learn to do.
Take a look at this list and you will find 30+ books. And I don’t see her stopping with this series any time soon. Each book is written in such a way that you can tell there is more to come!!
Each of the stories follow the same basic plot line – guy senses girl, guy follows her to find her, girl balks at the idea of who he is, guy convinces her of his love, then he has to bring her over into his world.
Each guy is a gorgeous hunky Carpathian male. While the majority of the female are psychic in some way, there are some heroines that are actually Carpathian and have the gifts and talents of the race.
Each book then has the two main characters pitted against each other to help each other change and become more.
Each story is filled with exquisite detail about the characters, about the places, about the scenery, about the people. Christine Feehan paints beautiful pictures about the characters, where they live, how they love. You can become part of the story due to how vivid her descriptions are.
Each book can and does stand on its own. There is a background plot that is happening within this series. You will find though that the background plot is more unsaid than actually takes part in each book plotline.
All the main characters are in a race to save the Carpathian people and the Carpathian way of life. This background plot is gradually built in each book, in some it’s more pronounced than in others.
But as each story passes and you feel how each character adds to the community, you need to know how all this will end and if the evil vampires will eventually be annihilated.
Each book does have sexy scenes to worry about. Christine Feehan writes beautifully sensual scenes that are filled with beautiful words. They are not written using crude words, they are described with sensuality, compassion, passion and love.
Each one of these stories is beautifully written. They can be read again and again. They are that good.
