Samuri Game by Christine Feehan (Ghostwalkers #10) Piatkus Books (July 2012) Paperback, 389 pages Paranormal Romance Warning: may contain spoilers Stepping back into Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalker series was like putting on an old, comfy pair of slippers that you just found hiding under the bed. Sure they have a hole or two in them but you stick your feet in them and ahhh… heaven! I have missed reading about the men and women that have been turned into paranormals by the ever weirder Whitney and it was really good to get…
The Scarletti Curse by Christine Feehan Piatkus Books (Oct 2010) Paperback, 439 pages Paranormal Romance The Scarletti Curse by Christine Feehan is billed as a ‘prequel to Dark Symphony’ on the cover, but is very much considered a stand alone novel by the author. Personally, having never read anything by Feehan before, I felt the book was perfectly okay to read by itself, with no particular loose ends to suggest a sequel. Now that issue has been cleared up, we can move on to the plot! The Scarletti Curse has an interesting…
The Paranormal Reads That Started It All Do you remember your very first paranormal read? The one that captured your imagination and made you want to read every book in the genre? Today we talk about just that, our first paranormal reads, the ones that started it all. CAROLYN My first paranormal read was probably DRACULA by Bram Stoker, which remains one of my all time favourite books. It was definitely the horror book to get me into the horror genre, where I began reading James Herbert, Stephen King and…
Dark Predator (Carpathian #22) by Christine Feehan | Piatkus Books (Sept 2011) Paperback, 372 pages | Paranormal Romance If you have read any of my reviews of Christine Feehan’s novels before, you will know that I tend to have quite a love/hate relationship with them. Unfortunately Dark Predator falls into the latter category. I disliked it so much, that after 22 books into the series, I may finally be done with the Carpathian series! Our hero of the story is Zacarius, who following on from Dark Peril I was really looking forward to learning…

Dark Peril (Carpathians #21) by Christine Feehan Piatkus Books (Sept 2010) | Paperback: 400 Pages Paranormal Romance I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Christine Feehan books. I have been a fan of her for a long time, and to put things into perspective I have read every one of her books. But of late, particularly with her Carpathian books, I feel like they have been losing their way. Then last year I read Dark Slayer and was pleasantly surprised at the improvement in writing and characterisation. Sadly, Dark Peril…
Dark Slayer (Carpathian #20) by Christine Feehan | Piatkus Books (Sept 2009) Ebook: 416 Pages | Paranormal Romance This is the best Carpathian novel that I have read for a while. Of late I’ve found they’ve become very repetitive with the characters lacking originality, seeming more like copies of one another. But Dark Slayer really picks up the pace and is more rounded and engaging. If you have not read any of Christine Feehan’s Carpathian books, they are about a race of people – Carpathians – a paranormal species, think good vampires. The…
The Twilight Before Christmas (Drake Sisters #2) by Christine Feehan | Pocket Star (Nov 2003) Paperback: 284 pages | Paranormal Romance In probably the stupidest reason a person has ever had to read a book, I took the ‘Which Drake Sister Are You?’ quiz on Christine Feehan’s website and came up with the heroine of The Twilight Before Christmas (I got Hannah the second time, but anyway). So, thanks to that quiz, this was my introduction to the sweet, occasionally dark Drake Sisters series about a family of seven sisters with…
Magic in the Wind by Christine Feehan (Drake Sisters #1) Berkley ( Sept 2005) Paperback, 103 pages Paranormal Romance So, this book is…a little bit silly. It’s a novella, not a novel, and it begins a series I’m fond of. However in this one everyone’s still finding their feet, and some of the characters come across as caricatures of who they are in later books. Magic in the Wind is the short beginning to Christine Feehan’s seven book Drake Sisters series, a series about seven sisters from generations of seven…

REVIEWED BY LAURA RATING: 6/10 BACK COVER SUMMARY: For Lev Prakenskii, the last thing he remembers is being lost in the swirling currents of the ocean and sucked deeper into the nothingness of a freezing black eddy off the coastal town of Sea Haven.
