Christine Feehan Carpathian Series....mmm so good!
I would like to start this Blog off with one of my favorite paranormal romance authors - Christine Feehan.
About 6 months ago, while walking aimlessly through Walmart waiting for my husband to get off work, I was drawn to, you guessed it, the book section. I have always had a love for the paranormal and so it wasn't a far stretch that I would enjoy Paranormal Romance Fiction Books.
I had never heard of Christine Feehan before, but the title Dark Curse, caught my interest immediately. Grabbing it up quickly, I turned it around and read the synopsis on the back.
I read it quickly and my interest was even more kindled. I had to have it and read it. So I almost skipped to the check out counter! Yes, new books make me happy! I paid for it and with my snack and a drink, went out to our little blue minivan. There I made myself comfortable and eagerly opened the first Pages.
The Prologue along hooked me: Quote Prologue: "The cold should have made me shiver, but it was fear, terrible bone-chilling fear, that seized Lara, causing such tremors they were impossible to control. She huddled on the floor of the ice cave, studying the walls of her prison. The ice was beautiful, walls thick and blue with amazing formations hanging from the ceiling and rising from the floor like a forest of multicolored crystals. She hunched down, watching the lights flicker across the ice - creating glittering, dazzling displays on the walls. All the while, her heart beat too fast and she chocked on the rising terror." End Quote Prologe
Just this sort section had me eager to read on. Why was Lara so fearful? Why was she huddled on the floor in an ice-cave. In only those few short sentences the Author had managed to hook me and paint a picture in my minds eye.
The Language Christine Feehan uses moves smoothly, rolls off the tongue and captures the imagination. Her steamer scenes later on down the line in the book, where she meets her carpathian Lifemate Nicholas De La Cruz and both falls under his "spell" and at the same time struggles the entire way to remain her own individual self is literally breath taking.
Here is a writer who understands her craft fully. She both entices, brings you into the very soul of her characters and makes you love and/or hate the Characters you encounter. The Story line flows and at the end of the book, you will want to continue on to the other ones of the Series, until you have found each persons Story.
Each different, equally compelling and yes dare I say it - addictive.
She describes her creative children in such a way, that to you they become real life to you. Matter of fact you will feel as if you could reach out and touch them.
The lines between reality and fiction become blurred to such an extent that you may even start looking in the crowd of people around you, wondering if there are such things as Carpathians around you.
Here are the books I personally read and highly recomment: Amazon.com Widgets
