About this book

After centuries of agonizing isolation trapped within a South American volcano, Dax emerges from his subterranean prison terrified that he has finally succumbed to the darkness threatening every Carpathian male. He is a predator on the edge of losing his humanity, haunted by the insidious evil that has clawed at his mind for generations. But as he resurfaces, he discovers that he is not the only ancient force waking up.

Mitro, a once-loyal lieutenant to the Carpathian prince, has returned as a vessel of pure malevolence. Having slaughtered everyone in his path—including his own lifemate—Mitro has set his sights on a new target. Riley Parker, the last living descendant of Mitro’s deceased mate, suddenly finds herself the prize in a lethal, high-stakes game between two powerful men.

This installment in the legendary series delivers a gripping urban fantasy experience that breathes new life into the Carpathian world. By deftly weaving in the intense second-chance trope and the weight of ancient royalty, the narrative keeps readers on edge as Dax fights to reclaim his soul. If you are craving a paranormal romance that balances visceral danger with steamy, fated-mate tension, this is the electrifying entry you have been waiting for.

WHAT THE HECK!!! Incredible

October 11, 2012

WHAT THE HECK is wrong with some people? Man alive alivin...Christine Feehan is back with a vengeance! I will admit I was not impressed with \"Dark Predator\". that said I loved this book \"Dark Storm\". The story had me riveted from the beginning. She certainly knows how to weave a spell over her readers. Lord have Mercy I can not imagine why she should have waited 6 more months to put this book out as others have suggested. Starting with page one you are pulled into the story, as if you are...

I LOVE IT !!! A MUST READ!!

October 4, 2012

First let me say I don't understand the 1 and 2 star ratings, this is a very good story an a bit different than the other Dark series books, which makes it totally interesting. Sometime I think other authors send their devout minions to do harm to other better selling authors. I have seen this pattern for a few years now and It's just not right!! I loved Riley she is a descendant of Arabejila the \"Flower Lady\" as some refer to her from previous Dark series books. Christine Feehan has given us...

Dark Storm, A Review for the Blog Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and Fantasy

October 16, 2012

I did something rather unusual with this book, I waited over a week to read it AND I read other reviews on it first. Now that may not seem like a big deal to you but it is highly irregular for me. That being said, this review will reflect those concepts and will have include some questions that come to mind.. some might consider those questions spoilers.. *grins* ok, disclaimer done. Dark Storm is the 23rd in Christine Feehan's Dark Series.. or as I like to call it her Carpathian Series. In...

Good book - Spicy

November 20, 2025

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. )

Another favorite of mine

May 8, 2016

Another favorite of mine. I really didn’t have any problems with it, not how long it took them to meet, her reaction to him, how long it took for them to kill the vampire or how long it took for the conversion. I will admit that the cover is a little busy but it is beautiful nonetheless. The writing in this book was excellent, I could picture everything the author described, and I will say that some of it was gory. This vampire isn’t like any of the others that I’ve read about so far and if he...
