Summary: Highly Entertaining!
Review: #12 in Christine Feehan's "DARK" series...a series that is highly entertaining, featuring Carpathians, a blood-sucking superior race who battles vampires and a fanatical antivampire organization. "DARK MELODY," by talented writer Christine Feehan, by far, is my favorite book in this fun series--Dayan finds his lifemate with a young pregant woman (Corinne Wentworth) but cannot turn her into a Carpathian until after the birth of her child. The question is will he able to keep her alive until then? (Fun Series...Fun Writer!) Check it out!

Summary: Leading Lady is a "Mary-Sue" ! My head is going to explode
Review: "You can't tell me what to do!...Oh, what ever you think is right, honey..." What the hell? strong-but-weak? Mary-Sue all over the place...talk about Bi-polar personality!"Look into my eyes...I am your lifemate, I know your thoughts, I am a God..." Pompous know-it-all. Look, I have an open mind like no other, but the main dude in this story is a controling ass. Don't even get me started on the other Carpathian characters.

Summary: Get a stake and some garlic, Sherlock . . .
Review: A few words about this book:
1) If it walks like a vampire, talks like a vampire, and sucks blood like a vampire, it is a vampire, whether it spouts deep philosophy and bad poetry or not.
2) Trying to fob responsibility for the fate of your immortal soul off onto another person is not attractive.
3) You get no brownie points for not getting blood on the carpet while killing a bad guy.
4) The fanatical vampire hunters trying to kill off the protagonists are the most misunderstood people in this book. Personally I think they are a group of ex-English teachers, trying valiantly to bring the protagonists to justice for brutally murdering the English language. If I never see the phrase "brush of butterfly wings" or the words "mesmerizing" or (especially) "honey" again, it will be too soon. For supposedly multilingual immortals, Dayan and his buddies would make truly atrocious Scrabble players.
5) I strongly advise that you do not actually spend money on this book; if you do, you will soon be hunting for a convenient stake to use on yourself.

Summary: Good Read
Review: Although the book focus on the Healing of Corrine. I did not find it boring at all like Dark Symphony.

Summary: Finally a reunion! Moving love story!
Review: Bravo to the author for finally giving loyal fans a visit with the the other characters we all fell in love with... Jacques & Shea, Gregori & Savannah, Desari & Julian, Darius & Tempest. Whatever's going on with the Prince & Raven and Aidan & Alexandria? The Prince never seems to leave his castle. The love story in this book was beautiful. It was very original to have the lifemate be pregnant already. I loved Dark Symphony also, unlike a few others reviewers, I thought Byron & Antonietta had a very beautiful love. My least favorite I would have to say were Dark Magic and Dark Fire, both disappointingly simplistic and not moving. Such potential with the two possibly most enigmatic sexy Carpathians of all, Darius & Gregori! What I would love to see more of is a flushing out of the Carpathian storyline. What's happening with their people? What's going on in the Carpathian Mountains with the Prince and Raven. Who has had children? What happened to the young telepathic girl living with Francesca who lived wolves? I'm really not too interested in the author introducing all new South American characters. I had trouble adjusting to the long-lost Darius clan, and hate that the books have drifted away from Mikhail and Raven so much. So I will probably get Dark Destiny and Dark Secret in the library. But when and if this author comes out with a novel that reaches back to the dark roots of the Carpathian Mountains and the Prince, then I'll be pre-ordering from Amazon.com for sure.

Summary: Keeps Getting Better
Review: Christine Feehan has created a series of books that sucks you in and keeps you begging for more. I waited very impatiently for this book and after reading it, it will make it that much harder to wait for the next one. I can only hope that Christine Feehan never runs out of ideas for this series, because I have become a life-long fan.

Summary: The Saga Continues.. Dayan's story .
Review: Christine has done it again ! The Carpathian's are a breed of people that are being hunted by fanatic's who believe that they are vampires. They are not vampires, in fact they hunt the vampire to keep Human and Carpathian's alike safe. This is Dayan's story. He has finally found his lifemate but she has a heart condition and is dying. To make matters worse, she is pregnant. He is put into a position that no other Carpathian has ever been put into. He must put his lifemates health and happiness above all else, but there is a baby to consider. He cannot save her life without possibly killing the child. The story line is powerful and gives insite as to just how compasionate these Carpathian's really are. I also recommend that you read her other books as well. There are alot of other characters in this book and their stories were told in previous books.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Dark Melody is boring, mainly because I kept thinking that I had read entire passages lifted directly from her other books, and while I didn't actually get check book to book; I'm pretty sure that about half of the book was her regular spiel about Carpathinians - much like her last two Dark books. And I'm tired of it. She was one of the most exciting new writers to come out in the last couple of years, and now I don't think I will bother to pick her up again because though her story could be interesting -- her telling of it no longer is. I wish Feehan would take a break so that she could write something original and fresh again rather than giving us the same hero and heroine over and over again.

Summary: The Reunion I Was Waiting For!
Review: Dark Melody is the reunion book. I have awaited this book with anticipation and dread. I feared that this book would not measure up to the older ones that I felt were Christine's best. Dark Melody was pure reading pleasure. Dayan is lead guitarist for the Dark Troubadours. His voice seduces and mesmerizes all who listens. He is at a bar playing a melody that is dark and moody. His hunger and overwhelming yearning are poured forth into his song for he is calling to her. His lifemate. He despertely needs to be saved for the darkness within is growing enormously strong. Corrine Wentworth enters the bar and immediately changes Dayan's bleak world forever. Yet, despite the fact that Corrie has telekenetic powers, she is pregnant and dying. Dayan cannot risk saving her until her child is born for her heart is too weak. At any moment, death could claim her. Desperate to save her and himself from the darkness within, Dayan summons the rest of the healers together. I loved reading about the reunion between Gregori and Darius. Gregori (my all time favorite) displayed awesome power as he tried to save Corrie and her child. It felt like the older Dark books where the all powerful males (Gregori, Mikhail, Jaques, etc.) joined together during times of peril. How I missed reading about them! I only wished that Mikhail was there. This reader hopes that more reunions are planned for future Dark books. Those earlier Dark books have a special place on my bookshelf.

Summary: Dark Melody, a treat for lovers of paranormal romance.......
Review: Dark Melody Readers Review Dayan is a lead guitarist of the Dark Troubadours and a gifted musician. His voice and the gift of music enthrall the listeners. Women adore him, but he lives in a world void of feelings and emotions. World of black and gray. Living in hope that he will meet her, the one that will bring him out of the darkness into the light. His life mate. When Dayan finds himself playing with the local band, his friend and traveling companion Cullen Tucker wonders why.
Corrine Wentworth loves music. She is a music writer and a musician in her own right. A very talented person with powers of her own. Telekinetic powers. Her dear friend and sister-in-law talks her into going to the local club for some fun. A fan of the Dark Troubadours, she is taken by surprise to see Dayan, the lead guitarist playing with the local band. What surprises her even more, is the attraction she has toward Dayan, and his very personal interest in her.
For Corrine things have not been easy to say the least in the last year. Her husband has been murdered. She is now a widow and pregnant. The pregnancy that may very well cost her, her life.
Now that he has found her Dayan is determent to keep her safe at all costs. With determination, born of desperation and love, he will not let even death take her away from him. The Carpathian healers come together to help Dayan and his life mate, and their unborn child.
I found this "Dark" book very emotional. A true love story, with mystery and suspense, even a touch of humor at times. The characters are strong and very real. The author's style of writing brings the characters to life, so much, so that the reader is experiencing the feelings and emotions along with them. The story line flows and grabs the reader's attention to the end.
This is a long awaited book for this reader, and I was not disappointed.
A wonderful creation, a treat for lovers of paranormal romance.
I highly recommend this book. Find a comfortable chair, your copy of Dark Melody, and a box of tissues, then sit back and enjoy. Happy Reading!
