Dark Illusion
Dark Illusion ('Dark' Carpathian Book 33) - Christine Feehan
Dark (Carpathians), Book 29

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series

The Characters:

Julija Brennan:
Isai Florea:
Barnabas, Anatolli (Julija’s father), Belle, Blue, Comet, Phaedra

The Story:

I used to adore Christine Feehan’s writing, the last few years however, I've found it repetitive and unnecessarily long. This book is no exception. While she creates beautiful, vivid images with her words I could do with a few less of them. The story, when you trim off the excess, was really good. Julija was trying to find a destroy a book created by Xavier and last seen with Isai’s brother. I will admit Isai’s behavior at the beginning of the book had me ready to quit but I’m glad I held on. I like him and Julija together.

The Random Thoughts:

I listened to this on CD and greatly missed the ability to speed up the dialogue like I can on digital audiobooks.

Leopard's Run - Christine Feehan

This one started out really good, but about a quarter of the way to the end I got bored with it. There is so much sex in it that there wasn’t enough story to get me to the end of it. I like books with a lot of passion in them, but this takes it to the level where it kind of ruins the story. Now this isn’t my first Leopard People’s book by CF so I know this series takes having passionate scenes steaming up the pages to the next level and beyond but there needs to be more story there too. I didn’t hate it like I have a few others in the series, I do like the Amurov Leopard’s, they are very interesting men raised in a very dark world trying to make it better the only way they know how. Timur is the brother of Alonzo from Leopard’s Fury. He is head of security and the Enforcer. He has accepted his fate even when he hates every second of it. When Ashe is found working at the bakery, first he is pissed that Evangeline didn’t tell him before hiring  her, and second, he knows he can’t let her get away. She calms his Leopard and that is a peace he has never known. She, of course, has brought trouble to his families’ door and he doesn’t like it, but it doesn’t stop him from going after her and discovering she is his mate. The action was intense, the bad guys are ones we have had to deal with on more than one occasion and the Amurov’s clean house in this one. I liked the characters I just needed more plot and less passion (never thought I’d say that, lol). I need to take a break from CF for awhile, her books are just too intense.

Covert Game (A GhostWalker Novel) - Christine Feehan

This one was intense. The couple reminded me a lot of Vittorio and Grace from Shadow Warrior. He was very dominant and she was submissive, but unlike Vittorio, Geno seemed more open to learn to compromise for Zara, and Zara definitely stood up for what she truly believed in. I enjoyed their story, hate what she went through, totally understood why Geno had to seek vengeance the way he did, but I did like that he felt remorse after that. She softened him up a lot, which I found so romantic. The action was intense, as always, the conflict great, and the plot premise good. There is a lot of sex in this one, but it wasn’t as off-putting like some other CF Ghost Walker books or even Leopard books can be. Not my favorite in the serious, but definitely not the worst, I think my least favorite is still Spyder Game and my favorite is blank Game. Overall enjoyable and entertaining installment in this series.

Shadow Warrior - Christine Feehan

Intense just like all the rest. He is a very dominating man and she has lived a lot of her life dealing with abuse and fear. When Grace jumps out of a trunk and fights back against being sold for human trafficking, Vittorio knows she is the one. When she jumps in front of a bullet to protect him, he decides he will do whatever it takes to win her forever and protect her from her adoptive brother who is hell-bent on controlling her life and every aspect of it. The story was good. I think she was a little too submissive at times and he, too domineering at times, but they did make a cute couple and the story was good. Great villain and conflict. The drama with the Ferraro family is going strong. I want Emma’s story so bad!  There has been 3 books in this series so far, this one wasn’t my favorite, but it was good and kept you turning the pages from start to finish. The passion was intense and the culmination of the conflict, good. Very enjoyable.

Leopard’s Run
Leopard's Run - Christine Feehan
Leopard People, Book 10

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series

The Characters:

Timur Amurov:
Ashe Bronte:
Evangeline, Theodore, Goria, Jeremiah

The Story:

I both adore Ms Feehan’s stories. The plots, characters and weaving of tales always grips me which is why I keep reading her books despite her dreadful habit of repeating things over and over and over and over and over until I want to scream. Seriously if I was reading a physical book I probably would have thrown it. This book was well paced but I think bogged down by excess sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong I like a hot interaction between characters but I think these could have been reduced by 30% and not have any effect on the story as we knew Ashe and Godiva (since when have the leopards had names?) were in heat. I did find myself drifting in an out a bit as I said excessive sex scenes and my anger at the repetitiveness caused major distractions. It took me 12 days to get through 12 disc which seems fair, honestly I was expecting it to take longer but eating lunch in my car gave me some pretty good chunks of reading time.

Overall I did enjoy the story. I like the friendship that developed between Evangeline and Ashe and I loved Ashe’s camaraderie with Jeremiah. Ms Feehan writes characters that I connect with effortlessly and that also keeps me coming back for more.
