Product Description

Review

"'Feehan has a knack for bringing vampiric Carpathians to vivid, virile life in her Dark Carpathian novels...Feehan creat[es] a romance that feels both destined and believable.' Publishers Weekly"

Product Description

'Carpathians are an immortal race of beings with animal instincts and the ability to shape shift. Every Carpathian male is drawn to a life mate: a woman - Carpathian or human - able to provide the light to his darkness. Without her, the beast within slowly consumes the man until turning into a vampire is the only option.' "Dark Celebration" is a must-have book for Christine Feehan fans everywhere. It is a unique story that reunites all the Carpathians from Feehan's bestselling series for a brand new adventure. This is a reunion to remember and a novel to treasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm !, 9 Oct 2006
By Talias Mum "shaz" (Millom, Cumbria, England) - See all my reviews
I think I see what Christine Feehan is doing. It seems to me that she is trying to re-establish our conection to her Carpathians. Dark Demon has opened up more avenues to explore and now using this book the author is reuniting her other carpathians and their lifemates to move the reader forward in sharing the struggles and joys of her characters. Even when Christine Feehan writes a duff it's still a good duff. I liked the concept of all those gorgeous males together in one spot, and I always suspected that Dimitri was going to be for Skylar. I thought the running joke about Gregori "THE DARK ONE" playing the role of Santa was great and waited with baited breath for his reaction to the idea. The plot was very thin and really there was no place for this book to go. This book was vehicle to allow us to touch base with the characters of the other books in the dark series and as such it's done the job for me because I'm re-reading mine in order and no cheating and going for my favorites first. I have rated this book three stars because although it does what the label says and cebrates the dark series it cheats the reader by sticking a useless appendange of the Carpathian language in the back of the book, who cares! The recipes don't bother me I can use them. Come on Chritine put up or finish it now with grace.

4.0 out of 5 stars A holiday treat indeed!, 3 July 2007
By Jenny J.J.I. "A New Yorker" (That Lives in Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This book finally brings my favorite couples together. This book was great and long overdue. This makes `Dark Celebration' a great introduction for new readers and a treat for those who have followed the series intently. Don't expect it to be all bright and cherry because Christine Feehan likes it dark in this particular sequence.

As the story opens, the Carpathians are in grave danger of extinction, not only from their enemies but also from the propensity of Carpathian women to have miscarriages. At Raven's suggestion, the Carpathians are gathering for their first community holiday event; but to her life mate, Prince Mikhail, it presents an excellent opportunity for their enemies to strike. Feehan brings us up to date with familiar couples, Raven and Mikhail, Desari and Julian, Shea and Jacques. She introduces the early stages of a possible new love story between Skyler and Dimitri. Feehan adeptly shifts between danger and humor, cooking disasters and passionate sex, as the group fights vampires and a dark mage, their oldest enemy. This book is everything that we have been waiting for. Having all our favorite characters together plus the added addition of an underline story that includes Skyler & her possible life mate has me counting down the days until this book is released.

`Dark Celebration' feels more like an evolution book setting the table for some upcoming series (thank goodness). The plot is pretty tame and the best part is that no couple takes charge of the story line. Still this is well written and will help newcomers obtain a deep understanding of Carpathian customs, lifestyles, and natural enemies while long term fans will know that the treats of 'Dark Desserts.' Keep it coming Christine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable, 23 Oct 2006
By val (UK) - See all my reviews
I think some of the other reviews are rather harsh. This book does what Ms Feehan says -it brings together a lot of previously met characters in a celebratory setting and gives you glimpses of their current lives. Its rather like a box of chocolates-you dont know what you will get next.I think it works rather well,in fact it turned out better than I expected it would. There is a sort of over-arcing story and several new ideas and themes have been setup not to mention two new lifemate scenarios.Im looking forward to see what Ms Feehan does with Manolito and MaryAnn. I would have given it 4 stars but the appendices with the language and recipes are a waste of time.Ms Feehan is not JRR Tolkein after all
