Oh wow. This is a pivotal story which makes good use of the skills which the Carpathians have gathered.

Really enjoyed most of this story. The last quarter was so amazing.

I'm a little on the fence on how to review this book. Overall . . . I loved the path Lara & Nicolas had to take together. I also enjoyed having much loved characters from previous books have more than a passing glance appearance & actually be involved in the story (which is why it got 5 stars).
However, I hated the ending. I've gotten used to her cliff-hangers over the past few books, but this is one doozy of a cliff. The book just abruptly ended. I turned to the next page and found APPENDIX 1 . . . I absolutely could not believe that was the end of the book.
I REALLY hope Dark Slayer comes out in early 2009 vs. late 2009. I hate having to wait to see how this new plot line unfolds!

Hmm… I picked up another book that was more interesting around the 70% mark and found I needed to finish this book for the sake of finishing it. All of Christine’s books are intriguing to be fair but the repetition does get tiring. That said, this book reveals a lot of the underlying plot that connects the books in this series so I can’t see how you can skip it.

Este es el segundo libro que leo de la saga de los carpatianos. Como ya mencioné en la reseña de “Lobo Oscuro”, esta saga puedes ser intimidante pues cuenta con más de 26 libros (y la autora sigue publicando más), así que si no saben nada de los carpatianos y quieren leer este libro, les aconsejo que se busquen un wiki o blog (los hay por montones) en donde les expliquen más a fondo sobre las características de este pueblo.
Una vez dicho esto, la verdad es que la historia se enfoca en la relación entre Lara y Nicolas por lo que si tienen ganas de un romance paranormal con bastantes escenas eróticas (explícitas) pueden leer este libro sin necesidad de haber leído sus antecesores.
El personaje de Nicolas del la Cruz me gustó bastante en su faceta de misterioso y poderoso luchador pero me costó trabajo conectar con él debido a su idea de “macho-dominante-hago-lo-que-quiero”.

Okay so FINALLY we have an answer about why women can’t stay pregnant. This book was dark AF, lots of torture and manipulation and physical and emotional abuse.
