Or better yet she could incorporate this into the Carpathian Series and add Lion as another species. There are certainly enough characters and enough meat for her to continue this as a series. However this stand-alone is much intriguing and could have been a series too. However it does make sense in a way from Christine's point of view despite my thoughts.Ĭhristine Feehan normally writes only books that are part of a series. Also I would have liked the ending a bit differently cause I strongly believe that everyone's actions have to have some consequences.

Sometimes it bordered around boring but some I could get that they are needed to complete the plot. One thing for sure is the elaborate descriptions around any incident. Of course there are a few things about the book that I didn’t like that much. The characters on the other hand are developed well as the plot proceeds keeping the reader glued to them and satisfying their appetite to see them grow too. Typical of her any book, there is definite involvement of erotic romance between the lead characters.

The twists and turns are some predictable and some unexpected. The chemistry between Nicolai and Isabella is instant like most of her characters, however she took her time to get them to fall in love with each other. Willingly she goes into his arms but will the arms become her chains and cage or become her honor and her brother's freedom? Will Lucca and Isabella be free of Don Rivellio's atrocities? All this and much more will the reader find as the plot proceeds.Īnother intense plot by Christine Feehan filled with legends, battles, paranormal factors, love and curses. She had heard rumors about the Don that he can command the beasts, control the weather and that whoever marries him is doomed to death. With given no choice she agrees for the demand - a life exchanged for another life. However in exchange for his help Don DeMarco asks for her hand in marriage and insists that she stay inside the DeMarco's area no matter what happens. Isabella Vernaducci reaches Nicolai DeMarco's doorstep at his palazzo to seek aid - to ask his help in rescuing her brother - Lucca Vernaducci - who is imprisoned in the dungeons of the palace of Don Rivellio.
