At long last you are truly back with us…
Zev Hunter was an elite warrior, a dark-blood dealer of death to rogue Lycans who preyed on mankind. He was a loner, never given to personal attachments, and damned fierce at his job. But Zev begins to question his past and his purpose when he awakens in the darkness of the sacred cave of warriors—and is soothed back to consciousness by the sensuously familiar voice of one woman, the woman who has haunted his fantasies for centuries. She was Branislava, member of the Dragonseeker clan… Read online Dark Blood Carpathian book now.
Dark Blood Carpathian Books Reviews
Book No. 26, Dark Blood, is the third book of a trilogy within Feehan’s long Carpathian series. This is the story of Zev and Branislava, which is no surprise, as we could see it building from the first two books. Recently Zev has found out that he is a half-breed, part Lycan and part Carpathian. What he didn’t know is that he is also Dark Blood, a bloodline similar to the Dragonseekers in power and respect. Most of the book hinges on the development of Zev and Branislava’s relationship, talking about Zev’s history, and fight scenes – lots of them.I struggled on whether to give this book one or two stars, and eventually settled on one due to the fact that author Feehan spent a good deal of time writing “fillers” for the book instead of an actual story. Naturally we did have the 30 page “Carpathians for Dummies” at the end of the book. But there was also a great deal of this imaginary language sprinkled throughout the book. On her Acknowledgement page, Feehan thanks the professor who put this language together at her request. Feehan obviously admires and respects him, and has taken great pains to tell him how wonderful the language is and how much she loves it, so don’t expect this stupid stuff to go away anytime soon.
We also had the “mage” spells, which were indented and italicized. As the book went along, they became more and more frequent, especially during the last 25%. I read the first five and skipped the last 30-40 or so. These spells offered nothing to explain the story or make it better, and were entirely skippable, which means they were just threw in to make the story longer for the hardback edition. Both the appendix and the spells were just a way to hit word count, and consequently, were a rip-off for the reader. Get online Dark Blood Carpathian today.
