“Dark Guardian is the story of legendary Carpathian hunter Lucian and his lifemate Jaxon.

I really liked this story. Jaxon (Jax for short) is a tough-as-nails, driven cop, and Lucian is the twin brother of Gabriel from book 8.

I really enjoyed the human element in this book. The human predator that has stalked Jax her entire life long is a former Navy SEAL. He is well-trained and fixated on Jax, and has dispatched everyone close to her. His threat is very real and continues...”

    “I like the Dark series okay, but I much prefer her GhostWalkers and Drake Sisters series (The Sisters, especially, since I'm a Wiccan and she actually did some research on it before writing those ones.). To me, they have more variation, although they can become a bit too repetitive as well. I don't go out of my way for any of her books anymore, but if one catches my eye at the store, I might pick it up.”

    “You're right. I don't usually like to say someone's a terrible writer because I know just how hard it is. This series is like the poor cousin of Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. Not that the storyline doesn't have merit. I like how her vampires come about and the Carpathian mythology but each couple seem to be very much like the last. Caveman Carpathian meets modern, strong-willed woman.”

    “lol, nope definitely not alone...Feehan's a mostly terrible writer, but her Dark books are way fun anyway, and the whole different twist she puts on the usually overdone vampire thing makes them worth the reading...”

    “LOL...I tried counting once how many times she said, 'molten mercury' (she says, 'molten gold' in Dark Gold...eesh) I had to stop after not too long cause it was getting depressing...I kept having this urge to send the woman a damn thesaurus...jeez...”
