Dark Possession

MaryAnn, a counselor for battered women, has a fulfilling life with no time for arrogant men who feel that they are the law unto themselves. So why does she feel such grief when a man that she has only seen once has died. Why can she remember that glimpse so clearly?

When Manolito De La Cruz rises from the ground all he knows is that he has found his lifemate yet he can’t recall her name or what she looks like. Vampires surround him trying to get him to join them, and his brothers are trying to trick him by telling him that he doesn’t have a lifemate. What is real and what isn’t? All he knows is that he can only trust his lifemate.

DARK POSSESSION by Christine Feehan takes us once again into the lives of a Carpathian and their lifemates. This time however she has thrown in a twist where not even the Carpathian knows what is real or even what world he is in. The reader will straddle the line between the worlds with Manolito and this reviewer has to admit that it makes for some rather confusing and slow reading at the beginning. Once Manolito starts to pick up on what is happening, however the pace of the story picks up and becomes engrossing.

DARK POSSESSION is an enjoyable book however due to the aforementioned issue this reviewer would only recommend it to readers who are already familiar with the Carpathian world. Otherwise the first third of the book won’t make a lot of sense at all. For followers of the series though, DARK POSSESSION is well worth adding to their library.
