Rating:  Summary: LEGENDARY MEN,LOVE THEM Review: I was introduced to these books by my sister and I have loved everyone of these stories. The men are masterful and loving in the true sense of the word. I would recommend this series to anyone,(my true love is historical romance). I am up to reading Dark Melody which is the 12th book of the series and I am not tired of them yet. I have read every book in order to get the whole story from the beginning to current. Thanks Christine Feehan, and I thank my sister(Laura).
Rating:  Summary: Stick with it...it gets better Review: If you can make it through the first 100-120 pages...it's worth it. I had a hard time getting into Dark Symphony as I see many other readers had as well. This book does seem a 'Scarletti' book with a little Carpathian thrown in but it gets better the more you read. The beginning is the most difficult part to get through.I happened to like Byron as an artist and not a hunter. I hardly think all male Carpathians exist solely to destroy vampires...these people have lives and some even have careers...why not have a few artisans? Yes, there is a lot of Scarletti in this one but even greater than the number of Scarletti pages is the number of orgasms Antonietta has! That is my only complaint...that woman spasms too often and too easily...I was tired of reading it. Honestly though..this one isn't as bad as these reviews portray...Josef is hysterical and there is a lifemate story, and Byron's determination to court Antonietta and have her choose his way of life is endearing. And whoever wrote the Editorial Review from Publishers Weekly above...might I suggest you actually read the books you are reviewing? I quote..."Carpathian males can mate for life only with mortals who are psychic, and if they don't mate, they lose their emotions"...I had tears running down my face I was laughing so hard as I read that. Even people who get paid to review books don't always know what they are talking about!
