Summary: Another great Dark book
Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book as I have all the Dark series books. Since quite a few reviewers explained the gist of the storyline, I won't, but suffice it to say that Ms. Feehan has amazingly created an entire race that is fasinating to read about and the passion in these books is phenomenal. I doubt I'll ever get tired of this storyline. However, I must agree with the reviewer from St. Paul, MN that the narrative referring to Tempest as Rusti was somewhat disconcerting & I also found it odd that someone as "old world" as Darius would repeatedly use the endearment "honey" - but these are minor complaints and I certainly did enjoy this book and look forward to her next Carpathian story.

Summary: Dark Fire by Christine Feehan is GREAT!
Review: A wonderful Carpathian read! I enjoy the way she brings everything alive for the reader. She has a way of showing the beauty and the danger! I find myself thrilled and mystified! The story is complex yet simple. I cringe at the knowledge that there is evil, "darkness". But rally that there is GOOD, "light" to fight it, to tame it.. I am able to pick up any of Christine's "DARK" books and loose myself in the skill of a writer who knows "HER" world. There are no slips that detract from the story. No contradictions. And best of all the thrilling danger is set inside a frame of utter devotion & protection. A predator stronger then can be imagined, captured by tenderness! A wonderful read! Love Always, Tonya

Summary: I Love this Dark Series
Review: I could hardly wait for this book to come out. I was so Happy when it did I rushed right down and bought it. I was not Disappointed. It was so good I read all night long and couldn't put it down. Not quite as good as Dark Prince but Pretty good. I was a little surprised that there wasn't a family reunion with Gregori and Savannah. It was a good book in the tradition of her other Carpathian series books. But I really missed Gregori and Michael and hope they are featured a little more in future books.

Summary: More of the same
Review: I have really enjoyed Ms. Feehan's "Dark" series and I am sure I will continue to read them. She's a good writer and writes a page-turning, exciting story. However, this one seemed a little predictable, with the same basic conflict between hero and heroine being played out. Tempest insists on her independence and doesn't want to be bossed around; Darius insists on ordering her around to ensure her safety. Since the pair are "lifemates," there's no suspense about the actual relationship itself. Also, in this one, I wish the author had settled on calling the heroine either Rusti or Tempest in the narrative (I understand that different characters called her by different names, that didn't bother me). She was Rusti in one paragraph, then Tempest, then Rusti in the next paragraph. This switching back and forth was disconcerting and broke the rhythm of the writing. Also, the author describes Darius as having an Old World air about him, but he always called Tempest "honey," which sounds so American to me. I did enjoy the humor, something missing from the earlier novels. All in all, the Dark series is always worth reading, but I'd like to see more varied conflict. I don't want to get to the point where I don't bother reading the new ones because they're always the same as the previous ones.

Summary: Dark Fire
Review: I just recieved my copy in the mail 5 days ago and could not put it down. The characters in this book Darius and Tempest(Rusti)held my attention. Like every book that I have read in the Dark Series this one is a keeper.

Summary: RUN GO ORDER THIS BOOK TODAY
Review: The release of Christine Feehan's Dark Fire was so highly anticipated, it almost put the book at an unfair disadvantage: could any book meet the expectations. The hype increased when her fans started reading the first chapter (from the Ms. Feehan's homepage) and began a letter and e-mail campaign to speed up the book's release. Fortunately, this book more than equaled expectations and is probably the best in her series. As a stand alone it is good, but as the latest in a series it has more than its share of romance, suspense and horror: O.K. The good guys are not real vampires-they are still blood sucking immortals. After a heart breaking beginning, the reader gets sex that can make an old lady blush and truly unique fight scenes with the development of a relationship that draws in the reader and once hooked'you will want to read the book in one setting. So, run out and buy this book, order a pizza for the kids, forget the laundry and enjoy what is an excellent book.

Summary: romance reader
Review: Although I like the "Dark" series, this one seems to drag a bit in the middle. It's still a good read though. If you've read her other books, then this one may seem like the same old stuff. A Carpathian male meets his independent lifemate and they stuggle with his dominance and her independence. I would have liked them to have more dialoge other than Darius telling her what to do and Tempest saying no. Tempest also is unable to get herself out of trouble without Darius's help. Can't she figure out her own problems without Darius's help?

Summary: another great one in a line of great stories
Review: Dark Fire is a cross between Dark Prince and Dark Desire. Two people, or one person and a Carpithian who find love and family. Tempest is a woman alone in the world dealt a rough set of cards in life has found the perfect mate but refuses to be tied down and Darius the leader of family of Carpithians finds his lifemate at the darkest time in his life, at first he doesn't know it, all he knew that without Tempest the world would be in for a nasty suprise until he was destroyed. Darius is dealing with her independence and she's dealing with his life and family. Throw in some crazed vampire hunters and you've got the prefect story. I love this book, I keep reading this I can't put it down. Definitely waiting for her next book.

This book was really different from the others,my heart went out to Tempest and the pain she went through in her life but Darius took that pain away and at the same time she saved his soul.As for my questions concerning Barack and Syndil they were answered in this amazing story.I can't help but wonder what will happen to Dayan,looking forward for his story.When you read this book,it'll make you cry and laugh and you will enjoy every word of it.This is the best book of the Dark series,thanks Christine.

Summary: This series is degenerating
Review: ...this author has now become unbearably formulaic in her stories. If you've never read the others in this series, you may find this book compelling by the premise alone and by some genuinely interesting facets about Carpathians. Otherwise the book is truly boring with almost the exact same plot as others in the series. But the true problem isn't so much the same storyline (after all, having essentially the same backbone is what makes a series a series) as the fact that increasingly, each new book has the same repetitious dialogue as before and even worse, the characters are exactly the same, with the same attitudes, same emotional depth, same personality, same likes and dislikes, etc., etc. The Carpathian male is pretty much a cookie-cutter of the others so there is absolutely no joy of discovery or intrigue, and the character development of the female is just pretty weak and hard to connect to. Almost all of the conversation in this book between the leads consists of "you will do as you're told!/but I don't want to!" (both telepathically and verbally). If you were to replace this male lead with any of the others of the series you'd hardly notice. There was a time when I used to open Ms. Feehan's books with anticiation and excitement, sorry to say that this is not the case any longer and I suspect we are in for more of the same if the Syndil/Barack dialogues are an indication. Too bad. The fact that they grew up as brother and sister, the fact that one knew the truth while the other was oblivious, the fact that unlike other Carpathian males Barack had constant sexual experiences with mortal women, would make for an engrossing and complex book taking us to a totally different area. But what I'm afraid is that all of the above will be given acklowledgement as mere facts in the book (if there is a book) instead of intertwinding them deeply into the characterization and interesting dialogue between the leads. Please don't let it be 300 pages more of "You are mine!Don't dominate me!"
