Publisher's summary

A dark storm is on the horizon.... Return to Christine Feehan’s “steamy and dreamy” (Publishers Weekly) world of her New York Times best-selling Carpathian novels as roiling passions collide in a perfect storm of dangerous desire that only a precious few can hope to outrun....

Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries.

But there are some things that never change.

His name is Mitro, the vampire Dax had hunted all these long centuries. Second in command to the prince of the Carpathian people he is the epitome of everything malevolent, and perpetrator of one of the most shocking killing sprees known to man - and beast. Even his friends and family weren’t safe from Mitro’s bloodlust. Neither was Mitro’s lifemate, Arabejila, an extraordinary woman with extraordinary gifts.

But now that Dax has re-emerged, so too has Mitro. The ultimate battle between good and evil has been re-engaged. Between Dax and Mitro, a violent game has begun - one that has marked Riley Parker, the last descendent of Arabejila, as the reward.

Sexy, Sexy, Sexy Now, More, More Please!

I have been waiting for this book for a long time. I was totally excited to download this one. Sometimes when the anticipation is high you get a little let down. It did not happen this time. I have all the books in the Dark series. One thing that I like about Feehan’s books is that she knows how to work in adventure, drama, and still have those hot sexy moments. I fell in love with the story of Dax and Riley. Now for the die heart Dark series fans like me…Feehan sheds more light into the mystery of why the Carpathian women have such a hard time with child birth, she introduces several intriguing missing elements, which just happens to make one of my favorite love scenes in the book. Believe me, you will never thing of flowers the same way again. It took me a while to write this review because sometimes I like to listen to the good ones twice. This was a good one!

A new story line

I am trilled that Christine Feehan has introduced a new story line, touching on some old ones, with some new characters in this book. I can't wait to see where she goes next and hope that she expands this line in future books.

GREAT!!! Christine Does it Again w/this Series

Christine Does it Again w/the Carpathian Series. I've been waiting almost 2 1/2 years for her to write the next series w/the Carpathains and it was worth the wait. The Narrators did a great job as well! Christine Feehan always (in my opinion) writes a good book and I really hope I don't have to wait long before she continues with the Carpathians or Leapords series.

Great Book

This is an awesome book.
I want to know why we never hear about Dax and Riley after this book?
All the other couples with books are at least mentioned in future books. There is so much more that can be written about Dax and Riley in other books. How come you have left them out😪?

love!

This was by far one of my top favorites, if not my favorite! I love the narrators as well!

Dark Storm audio performance

If you could sum up Dark Storm in three words, what would they be?

The Old Ones

What other book might you compare Dark Storm to and why?

Not sure

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Erik Bergmann and Kristine Ryan ?

Phil Gigante and Jane Brown. It would have been performed better if done in the same style as Dark Slayer where the male and female characters performed together in same chapter when ever each separate voice was needed. I did not like when the female narrator spoke as Riley and Dax. Nor did I Iike it when the male narrator were the two characters voices. It would have been better if Dax was Erik Bergmann and Riley was Kristine Ryan throughout the whole story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

?

Any additional comments?

The story should have touched more on Mitro's story. Is Gregori any relation and if so age difference.

Feehan is the Master of Paranormal Romance!

I love Dax and Rileys story, it's one of my favorites in the series! I would and do recommend this series and her others to everyone. My one hand up with this audio was the way they chose to do the narration. There is a man and a woman. Instead of the man reading Dax and other male parts and the woman reading Riley and female parts, like the double narration in previous books, they seemed to just split the chapters guy reads some, woman reads some etc. I was confused by the choice. 8n previous books, like Solange and Dominic's, the narrators read it almost like a play. It was amazing! So the narrators are good it was just a style choice I disagreed with.

Great performance!

very good performance. I like the two narrators instead of just one. It is along par with the rest of the Carpathian novels.

Yet another amazing carpathian story

This book is so good I'm not sure where to start. The concept is novel the characters just get better and better. There seems to be a surprising love interest for jubal, I doubt few of us saw that coming. I love Christeen Feehan - she just keeps surprising fans. Her abilities are awsome. Each offering gets better and better and the choice of narrators is great too.

A little more spice would make the stew tastier

Where does Dark Storm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Oh yes. I enjoyed the story. I usually like Ms Feehans musings of Carpathians vs vampires vs human demented terminators. Please I would like the female character to have a little more, no, a lot more bounce, fire, and humor. I rank this book up there in the top fifty.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Storm?

The dragon awakes. The Carpathian quakes.

Which character – as performed by Erik Bergmann and Kristine Ryan – was your favorite?

Overall performance by these two exceptional narrators really awesome.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

More made my blood run cold. The way Anabell was killed.

Any additional comments?

I hope to see more of this series. I would love to see the main characters not get along so well all the darn time. It's so fantaC. :) I haven't seen Ms Feehan put a Fairy into the mix yet. That might be fun.
