Dark Dream by Christine Feehan

bookwife's review

5.0

Surprise! I actually loved this book! Falcon is still a caveman like the rest of the Carpathian males but he actually asks Sara what she wants! Mind blown when I heard that. I do not remember any of the other males doing that. Not only that but the wants Sara to have all her dreams. Crazy concept. Falcon is by far my favorite. He's the only one who wants his female to have opinions!

Now the book was extremely short and they fell in love basically instantly which is bat shit crazy.. but whatever. I still enjoyed the story. And really she already knew about him because she's been dreaming about him.. and maybe I am just making up excuses... but again whatever. It was still good.

By far my favorite of the series.

I read most of the series when it first came out and now I'm working my way through the entire Dark series in audio. It has been interesting to see how my opinions of characters have changed. There have been a couple so far in the series that I don't remember annoying the crap out of me when I first read the books. That said, there have been other stories that I didn't remember as well, but greatly enjoy now. This was one of those stories. I only wish it would have been a little longer.

Although it was a short story, I enjoyed it a lot for several reasons. Falcon is clearly, at this point, the oldest Carpthian male we have met yet he allows his lifemate the choice to accept him and also choose becoming like him (yes, Tempest in the last book chose to become Carpthian, but unlike Sara she had to take drastic measures to force Darius to change her). He also listens to Sara and accepts that she has to help to take down the vampire in the book. As for Sara, she not only is more quick to accept Falxon and what he is, she is more pragmatic about Falcon being a predator who must kill those who are a threat to them.

This is one of my favourite books in the series. Falcon and Sara are gorgeous together. Sara was drawn to him before she knew who, or what, he is. She recognises him and instantly has his back.
Seeing beloved characters, namely Mikhail, Raven, Shea and Jacques always makes me smile.

I'm not sure if it was the book or the narrators but I kept zoning out, it was actually kind of boring and nothing to grab my attention

I'm going back thru the series so I can refresh my memory and read the last couple that I've missed... I have to say this book is definitely one of my favorites in the series... This one for me is when the series starts to get really good. Oh how I've missed this series now that I am going back to reread it.

3.5 stars.

So, I liked the action plot of this book, and Sara's past made me feel awful for her. I loved how strong she was, too. Falcon was likable enough, though after reading about Darius and Julian, he doesn't stand out all that much, aside from the fact that he's really old and nobody even knew he was still alive. Overall, this was satisfying, a little taste of the Carpathians. Looking forward to the next one.
