Book Review of Dark Promises (Carpathian, Bk 29)

Dark Promises (Carpathian, Bk 29)
reviewed on + 85 more book reviews


Given the choice between a revised Cheyenne McCray & a new Carpathian...duh. So, why was this sooooo bad? Well, I can write a book about that! I'm off to reading the McCray now, and I feel a sense of relief...it's not me, I can enjoy erotica.
So much wasted potential! I was really looking forward to learning about the monastery & the ancients there. The 2 h sounded interesting...a grandma! Gotta love that! As characters go, Fane & Trixie were okay.
The only thing that kept it from being a complete fail was at the end (and it literally took me one freaking page at time to get there...how long is this book anyway, 3000 pages?!), but it was too brief: you got a name & a physical description.
So, IMHO you can just skip this book unless you have a hankering to read this couple's sex scene & that couple's sex scene, and back to couple #1, and so on. Pretty blah sex...
I advise dear author to get back to the story & leave the copious sex to the erotica writers.
The only plot movement is the devolvement of Gary...here's the gist (SPOILER): because he absorbed the ancients darkness, he lost emotion & color all at once is barely holding on as an ancient predator...a danger to himself & others. There, move on to the next book & cross your fingers!
