Personal Review: Dark Slayer by Christine Feehan
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".
