Product Description

Review
'Feehan has a knack for bringing vampiric Carpathians to vivid, virile life in her Dark Carpathian novels..." (Publishers Weekly) 'satisfying action adventure romance ... Love and danger are a winning combination in Feehan's latest' (Booklist) 'The exciting and multifaceted world that impressive author Christine Feehan has created continues to improve with age' (Romantic Times)

Product Description
Carpathian vampire hunter Julian Savage is powerful but tormented. But he has one last duty to fulfill before he gives himself over to the dawn and certain death. He has to warn the famous singer, Desari, that she is being targeted by vicious human vampire hunters who will stop at nothing to hurt those they believe are vampires. But when Julian hears Desari sing he realises she is the woman he has always sought - his lifemate. Desari is most definitely Julian's match but she has great powers of her own. And she is not happy when a mysterious stranger enters her mind and begins giving her orders!

4.0 out of 5 stars The best of the "Dark" series, 18 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Challenge (Love Spell paranormal romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought all the dark series in one go as they were on my "recommended" list. I have mixed feelings about the series as a whole but not about this book. My major complaint about the others revolved around the massive difference in age and ability of the hero and heroine in the others. I just don't find that sort of uneven paring believable even in fiction. That said the books were well written and a good read but left me feeling just a bit frustrated. Dark Challenge was different. For the first time Ms Feehan paired an ancient female with one of her "dark" heros. Here the heroine was as powerful and skilled as the male and the result was a much more even relationship and a much more enjoyable read. I look forward to her next installment - hopefully it will be more in the same vein

5.0 out of 5 stars an exellent edition to a brilliant series, 7 Sep 2001
By lisanightwolf@aol.com (S. Wales, U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark Challenge (Love Spell paranormal romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great book and a MUST read. A big plus that in this book the heroine (Dasari) is just as powerfull as as our hero (Julian) but in their own unique ways and it's makes for a truly intresting and dynamic relationship between the two. The book also introduces some new and VERY intresting characters to the series, in particular Darius....Gregori's younger brother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!!!!, 9 Jan 2004
By J COFFMAN "Jackie" (Solihull, West Midlands, England.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dark Challenge (Love Spell paranormal romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
At long last we meet the lost children. Julian one of the golden twins has found his lifemate Desari. She is travelling with her family & there is something about Darius, her brother that is very intruiging. He reminds Julian of Gregori, the healer. When he realised who they all are he contacts Gregori, who is very pleased his brother & sister are still alive. He tells Julian they will all meet up later.

Julian is the 1st carpathian to find an ancient as a lifemate which will prove very interesting. All the others have been young & inexperienced.

This is a fantastic continuation of this series & one which I will continue to reread everytime a new one comes out.
