Loved It!!!
READ IT YESTERDAY AND IT WAS GREAT. REALLY COMPLEMENTED THE DARK CELEBRATION BOOK FROM LAST YEAR. BRINGS NEW ELEMENTS INTO THE WHOLE STORY LINE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE BOOKS!
Another Excellent book in the series
I enjoyed this book it was great. Left open for more books in the future. I wish books came out sooner than 1x a year for these. It is hard to wait a year.
fresh and gender bending Carpathian thriller
The vampire hunter Ivory, and her seven Carpathian wolf pack and her normal wolf pack head home after killing two vampires only to find a dying man. To her horror she knows this Carpathian is her lifemate. He tells her to leave him die as the evil Xavier uses his body to cause death. He is Xavier’s grandson and sold his soul to save his daughter and sister. Ivory knocks him out and takes him to her hidden shelter while Xavier searches for Razvan. She will heal him and if he still chooses death, so be it.
Ivory sees a child tied in snares, which is a trap. With her wolves she kills a ghoul, but her brother master vampire Sergey escapes before the Carpathian healer Gregori and Prince Mikhail arrive. They offer to heal her, but she refuses as she wants nothing to do with Carpathians. Though not fully healed Razvan knows his lifemate is in trouble. She has given him hope that she can kill Xavier as she told him that is why she lives. Razvan arrives placing a knife to Mikhail’s neck. Mikhail calmly tells Gregori to heal Ivory. He does and is stunned that she was once sliced into many pieces and should be dead. Ivory and Gregori heal Razvan. She explains her only friends are the wolves as her brothers chose the power of the vampire and sacrificed her. Ivory and Razvan plan to kill Xavier or die trying.
The relationship between the lead couple is fresh and gender bending as she leads the excursions against Xavier. The Carpathian support cast is strong especially the wolf pack, the prince and the healer while the malevolent villain is brilliant using modern science as well as magic to attack his foes and the heroine’s brothers, though we meet only one of them, are pure evil. This is a super entry, which long time fans will enjoy including the addition of background information appendices though newcomers will feel awed by the Feehan mythos.

Consumed in one evening…well done!!!
Typically, as a popular series advances the intrinsic center “charm” seems to fragment as the author tries valiantly to keep up his or her excitement in the story. (Uh, BDB ring a bell?)
In “Dark Slayer”…Christine Feehan comes back to what entranced us in the beginning….a species simply trying to survive. Granted these males are gorgeous, sexy and come built-in with speeches that bind a womans’ soul to theirs. They are gut-wrenchingly honorable..fighting vampires who were once the same as they were: Carpathian warriors.
In “Dark Slayer”, Ms. Feehan brings us back to this essential problem but twists it as the villian of several novels, Razvan the mage/Dragonseeker is shown to be a victim of an “immortal” wizard. Zavier, the ageless evil has to have Carpathian blood, preferably a family member, to continue his his seemingly endless persecution of Carpathians. Zavier wants them all to die in a revenge-ridden quest for absolute power.
Zavier captures and victimizes his grandson, Razvan, for hundreds of years, starving him and taking over his body to impregnate psychic women for the babies that carry a Carpathian blood supply.
Zavier used Razvan’s body in an earlier novel (Dark Demon) to attempt murder on Razvans’ sister Natalya.
After the latest destruction of one of Zaviers’ evil labratories, Razvan escapes into a blizzard half-naked, and starved for blood. Half mad with guilt and unable to process the searing evil of his life, Razan wants to die. So he wanders off into the woods collapsing in the snow….and waits for the morning sun.
Instead, another legend of the Carpathians: Ivory the presumed-dead sister of the evil Brother Malinov stumbles across Razvans’ body after a lengthy battle with vampires.
Hundreds of years earlier, Ivory was attacked and cut into pieces when she was betrayed to vampires by Zavier. Happily for Ivory, the vampires neglected to remove her heart…so the pieces of her body lay in a field while wolves chewed into her legs and arms. Ivory manages to put herself back together with the help of Mother Earth and, after lying in the earth for three hundred years Ivory begins her dreadful life’s mission to eradicate the evil Zavier by unraveling his spells and fighting vampires. She becomes another legend, the Dark Slayer.
Seeing Razvan’s crumpled body causes her great pain because she never dreamed of family or children. She was always alone except for the wolves she saved from death by sharing her blood and converting them to Carpathians. Yet, she recognizes Razvan’s importance to her…because he is the other half of her soul.
The love story is touching and well-linked to the story line. Familiar Carpathians and vampires return in this book. Skyler and Dimitri are still fighting their attraction now that Skyler is seventeen. The Dragonseeker “Aunts” are still healing in their earthen beds. Savannah gives birth to her twins. Mikail and Raven are pregnant again. All of the characters are consistent with prior novels but show real personal growth.
I won’t give away anymore….because this book deserves a thorough read.
I rate this one up there with the first book, “Dark Prince”.
This book is recommended as a “Keeper”.
