Loading... Dark Slayer (Carpathian)by Christine Feehan
I'm fairly sure this is the last book I'm reading of the series. It has totally jumped the shark. And that says a lot for a fantasy series. (  ) lesmel | May 16, 2013 |  i loved this book. while reading it i was going to say, hey i know it kinda makes it sound more romance-y and it's not. so ok, there was a section that was but honestly it tied in so, all good. i can't help thinking that i've seen and read this author before but for the life of me i can't remember which ones (having a brain issue, sorry) but on the bright side i can just start now and read them all. i am familiar with carpathian but if you aren't but like the vampire, werewolf type things you will like this. also if you want to know more this is actually a very good book to start with. i will go through the list and read them all.. excited. excellent book, excellent writing and she even puts facts and a bit of history in the back, i love it when books do that for clarification. (i read alot of historical) impressed. (  ) krushkelsey | Nov 22, 2012 | This is one of my favorites of Feehan's Dark series because, I believe, the story is so unlike any of the others. Yes, Carpathian meets lifemate but the neither of these is one to be sheltered but work together toward a common goal; it makes them an unbeatable team. Gregori and Mikhail have their characters developed further as they interact with this uncommon duo. I must confess that when I first heard this as an audiobook I was appalled by the accents used by the readers. Has it never occurred to people that when a person speaks in his own language, he's not going to sound like a newly arrived immigrant? The story was good enough to overcome that significant handicap but if you read it you won't have that to worry about! (  ) phnx51 | Sep 6, 2012 | This is definitely not my type of book but since it was a hand-me-down I thought I would give it a fair shot. Evidently you must have read the previous books in the series to make any sense out of the races and cultures. I was lost from the beginning and never found anything to keep me interested. I still never figured out what year this was all supposed to be (clues such as mentioning the state of California didn't help). The deal breaker came with the +20 page graphic sex scene. I realize that this is why alot of people read these but all I could think of was my grandmother, who gave me the book, reading it, and I gave up. (  ) msstephaniebuck | Jan 12, 2012 | I think I will have to admit defeat with the Carpathian series. I want to like them, really I do - the world buiding is fantastic, the premises usually great, sweeping romance, plenty of action - but I just can't because the writing is so repetitive and I end up stalled, rolling my eyes and skimming - which I hate to do.Every other chapter or so in Dark Slayer the entire story of what happened to Ivory is repeated, and then the story of what happened to Razvan after he is introduced and everytime Razvan thinks about his sister we get the story of why she distrusts him again. There are more incidences where the same story, dialogue or motivation is repeated - no new information, or a new perpective, just repetition and it drove me nuts.The repetiveness is evident in other books also, as well as the obsession with a 101 ways to describe - in Dark Slayer its dirt - in others its dark eyes, or auburn hair. I was really hoping that Dark Slayer would be different - the plot certainly is and there are some wonderful moments but I have to give up and accept that I will never be able to see past my irritation to enjoy the series.
