Yay! Andre gets his reward and someone actually welded the editors' pencil on this latest Dark Carpathians installment.

However, the tighter writing does not help with the simplistic dialogue between Andre and his lifemate, Teagan. You won't need to remember that name as Andre keeps saying it every other page in reaction to her rambling chatterring. I kept reading this shorter book in hopes of finding something different than yet another repeat of the "Me He-Man Ancient Vampire Exacutioner. You Jan ... uh Teagan Weak Woman Who Talks In Circles" plotline Feehan seems stuck in.

At least the sex scenes had very little to do with the storyline, since I skipped the former and didn't feel any continuity breaks in the latter. The talking sections were annoyingly repetitious. There was only one really good action scequence early on, but not with vampyres in it. We have yet another group of Carpathian ancients to look forward to ... not.

The most likable character is the grandmother, followed by Fane (new guy), with Andre at a distant third. None of the older characters make even a brief physical cameo. However, I appreciated the explanantion of rock versus boulder climbing.

So the book is really 1.5 stars. I added a half star for some editor finally reining CF in.

I'll keep reading this series. I just don't want to own or buy them until the exploding Carpathian Ancients population actually moves the obscured story arch forward - something that has not happened in the past 3-4 books.

I love the Carpathian series, but more and more, it's all about the life mate sex--just about every page, repeatedly. No story, just sex and how the life mate bond works. We get it Christine, let's get on to a real story within. It's a wonder the Male hunter can take time out to kill vampires.
