Wow, this book takes the story to another level by introducing the mage storyline. As if the Carpathian series wasn't intricate enough. I found it hard to follow some of the mage aspects, yet I was sucked in. Not only that, Natalya was one seriously kickbutt heroine. She was a total badass with all her weapons. A girl after my own heart. She even has a sword. I just loved how she jumped into the fray, guns blazing, sword swinging, and flinging knives. The part where she fights the shadow warrior...

Vikirnoff finally catches up to Natalya, the woman in the photo, as she's facing off a couple of vampires and some crazed wolves in the Carpathian mountains. He's met his match in Natalya though - she's mouthy, capable, independent and powerful in her own right: she's of the Dragonseeker line, and part Mage, part Carpathian and part human. Led to believe that the hunters killed her brother and would kill her if they find her, it's a bit strange that she doesn't attack Vikirnoff beyond a moment o...

"Dark Demon" is the story of Natalya and Vikirnoff.Natalya is the fighter of the dark- a Xena warrior-esque tigress having 1/3 of Carpathian,Human and Mage blood in her. The murder and memories of her twin Razwan and her parents dead cloud her memories, making her hunt vampires and have hatred against the Carpathians.When one such fight goes awry, she unwillingly summons Vikirnoff, a Carpathian on the verge on darkness- who turns out to be her lifemate.Together they along with Mikhail and some n...

4-4.5 starsThis was a really good story. I didn't have time to leave a review it when I got done and then when I tried to write a review yesterday my PC crashed and I lost the review. I'm making another attempt but is it's not as detailed as my normal reviews, it's not because of any fault of the story.Natalya is a strong and intelligent woman. She is a descendant of the rare dragonseekers line of the Carpathian people. Because of lies and mind manipulation, Natalya doesn't have an accurate idea...

Natalya totally rocked! I liked Vikirnoff too, but I was really impressed with Natalya. She kicked ass. Not sure when the Carpathians became the weaker species, but they seem to be getting their asses kicked a lot. This was a great edition to the series.

This book is okay. It's not the best of the Dark series, but it's not the worst either. It wasn't very memorable for me, which is a shame, because the other Dark series books have been incredibly memorable. I do know I liked both the hero, Virkinoff, and the heroine, Natalya. I liked their romance; they had really good chemistry, and their relationship developed along easier lines than some of the other Dark romances. But I did feel like there were a few too many sex scenes in the book. I felt l...

Another fantastic read in this series! I loved Vikirnoff- he is an amazing hero! He is right up there with Gregori! Natalya was awesome- she had so many different gifts and she can use magic! I loved it! Gregori was in this one briefly- I always want more Gregori, but I don't like him being injured:(

Did not finish -- too much confusing stuff about Carpathians, vampires, shadow warriors, and too much of the hero and heroine just reading each other's minds.

I am a devoted fan of Christine Feehan and my most favorite series is her world of the fascinating and exciting Carpathians. I have enjoyed all books in the series but book #16, Dark Demon, I really loved. Finally we get Natalya & Virkirnoff who we have met in previous books but never together. Natalya who is part Carpathian & Mage (loved this addition to the series with wizards, dragons) is strong, independent, skilled in the arts of mage, a fighter and a loner, who has been hiding from her peo...

Really enjoyed this novel with the dragonseekers line as part of the Carpathian world state. I found Vik and Natalya really strong likeable characters and the movie references made me giggle. Natalya was a different take on the women before being half mage. I was slightly disappointed that she didn't turn into a dragon as her uncle did when fighting the vampires. I thought that would have been awesome to see this. We're still left with a cliffhanger in regards to her grandfather and her brother

This book kicked so much ass!Love Natalya! Like really love her. Vikirnoff a lucky man. Their book was epic. Their battles were vicious! That battle in the ice cave. Couldn’t put the book down. Natalya’s magik skills. OMG! And she shifts into a TIGER! A freaking tiger!And CF added Mikhail, Raven, Falcon, Sara into the mix and introduced Dominic. And that final freakin battle. Holy crap! I had to read it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. So I kinda luuurved the hell out of this book. The...

Dark Demon is book 16 of Christine Feehan's wonderful Dark Carpathian series. This is the story of Natalya Shonski and Vikirnoff von Shrieder. We first met Natalya in Feehan's Dark Secret and Vikirnoff in Dark Destiny. Always on the run from vampires and Carpathian hunters, Natalya is part dark mage, part human, and part Carpathian. Her Carpathian bloodline is from one of the oldest and most respected of all Carpathian families: the Dragonseekers. Poisoned against the Carpathian people by the tr...

Natalya Shonski is human, mage and Carpathian. She is leaving the village inn to travel to the Carpathian mountains. Natalya feels compelled to go to the mountains to find something. She neither knows who placed the compulsion on her or what object she is seeking.Vikirnoff Von Shrieder is hunting for a woman his brother, Nicolae, says must be found, warned of danger and protected. Vikirnoff knows from the moment he holds her picture that she is special. He keeps her picture in his shirt, next to...

I love me some Christine Feehan, and I loveeeeee me some Carpathian romance! Dark Demon is the 13th book in the series (officially at least) and is my current favorite! I absolutely loveeeee me some Vicky (Vikirnoff)! This series does a great job of having an overall arc, while keeping each book to one Carpathian couple getting together. The overall arc of the series is starting to heat up with new information being discovered specifically in this book and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds in

Its been more than 10 years since I’ve read one of these Dark installments and I have to say the grow of the female protagonist is astounding. I love that she’s strong, she’s powerful, she’s tough, she’s confident, she’s everything that used to disappoint me about the early females except for the cop. So Christine Feehan, Yes! It moved very fast but of course for me the boring parts where is the sex scenes. All in all I’m a happy camper.

4.5 stars. So, I now have another favorite book in the series. Reading this book so closely to Vikirnoff's brother Nicolae's was great. Nicolae told Vikirnoff that he'd lost his sense of humor, and Vikirnoff very seriously said he didn't have one. So seeing the serious and protective Vikirnoff paired up with the sassy, teasing, and strong Natalya was great. He had to realize that the woman meant for him was a warrior, not a gentle peacemaker. Natalya needed to realize she now had someone she cou...
