About this book
The fates of a warrior reborn and a seductive Dragonseeker are irrevocably entwined in the new Carpathian novel by 1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, “the queen of paranormal romance” (J. R. Ward).
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.
Mother Earth called the ancients to witness your rebirth. . . .
For this half-mage, half-Carpathian temptress, the ritual of awakening Zev to the council of warriors was the only way to save him. Locked away for his own protection, the time has now come for his rebirth, for his blood to stir with that of the ancient warriors before him. He has been assured by Branislava that their fates are entwined, that their spirits are woven together for eternity and that his new purpose in life is beyond imagining.
Now, with a blood-sworn vow of honor, mercy, and endurance, and under the influence of a siren as bewitching as Branislava, Zev begins to wonder what his purpose is, what it means for the future of the Carpathians, and what it is about his rebirth that he has to fear.

4.5 Stars Dark Blood is the end of the trilogy within Christine Feehan's Carpathian series. Zev and Branslavia's story is hands down the best of the three stories in this miniseries. I did find it to be a tad redundant which is why I gave it 4.5 stars rather than the 5 stars I've come to expect from a Carpathian novel. I love the three couples: Lev and Tatijana, Dimetri and Skylar, and Zev and Branslavia, in this group of titles. Zev's family history is a welcome surprise. Welcome in the fact...

Another story full of vampires, evil mages, Carpathians, werewolves and heroic humans. \"Dark Blood\" continues to explore and explain the blend of Carpathian and werewolf blood vs. vampire and werewolf blood. Many questions are answered, bad guys are overcome and more are discovered. A fierce love story shines with Zev and Branislava within the plot of Carpathians and Lycans attempting to work together to fight nasty bad guys. For me there were some skip-worthy passages: simply too much of the...

The print quality is fantastic. Exactly how I remember it as a kid. Mass-produced books have actually always been a favorite of mine. The way the pages smell, the soft fluttering of the pages as you fan through them, or just turning each page, really makes you feel that cozying up with a book vibe that we readers crave. Definitely a good quality to add to the shelves. Especially for those of us with a TBR taller than we are. Beautifully priced and excellently crafted. )

Not as good as Dark Lycan, but better than Dark Wolf. This book was a solid three and a half to four stars to me until the last battle when it shot up to a solid five stars. I will try not to give to much of the plot away, because another review did that, which to me is just wrong, but what I will say is some had an issue with the direction they felt the author was taking the book and the series in, that I have a problem with. Why, because anyone who has been reading this series from the...
