Getting a bit samey
|
Am I the only one who is getting a bit bored by Ms freehan's "formula"
The list of overused phrases and words is long.
The formula is that the woman must be:
Tiny
hypnotically beautifull
Silky hair to the waist
narrow ribcage (is this necessary to be sexy?)
tiny waist
enormous eyes
creamy skin
pert full breasts
must resist him for 2 nanoseconds before becoming a doormat.
white hot lightnening when they kiss
the floor has to move
fire must lick her where ever he touches her
The man must be
lethal
dangerous
dark
enormous
think his soul is lost forever
must not let her see his true self
bunch his fists into her silky hair, span her narrow ribcage with his enormous hands, stroke her pulse, and melt inside.
Seriously, I'm bored. Can we have some new dialogue some new adjectives and a more challenging story. The basic principal is great. I love the Carpathian universe and the characters although basically the same, show potential.
I loved Aidan in Dark Gold and I loved Mikhail in Dark Prince.
Gregori in Dark Magic was a real dissapointment. He is a clone of all the others and Savanagh the same woman as in the other books with different coloured hair and "stars in her enormous violet eyes"
I need something new.
I'm off to read JR Ward, I hear she's good.

dark magic

I really love this book and would highly recommend to everyone who loves paranormal romance. If you're a beginner, please start with the first book i.e. dark prince (although dark magic can be read on its own)in order to familiarise yourself with the carpathian world.Believe me,once you start reading it, you'll be hooked! I like all the characters.However,Gregori is my favourite . He is so hot and intimidatingly sexy. No wonder, Savannah, who is the daughter of the prince, eventually fell hopelessly in love with him. Who can resist his dark charm? The love story between gregori and savannah is very intense and erotic. I think Christine Feehan has done a good job in bringing the best of the bogey man. I love the way his character has involved. He has a human friend now. Savannah has brought joy and laughter into his life and she is truly the light to his darkness!!!
p.s If you're a fan of Christine feehan, please do not hesitate to purchase the whole collection of the dark series!!!

'Dark Magic' was excellent I couldn't put the book down. Such chemestry between Savannah and the Ancient "Dark One" Gregori.
The DARK series are absolutely brilliant. It is a must read.

out of all the carpathian novels..

this is one of two i have on my shelf and am proud to have. i have read all of cristines dark series and this book along with "dark melody" is worth the money, unlike any other "dark" novel. i found the stories too simallar in all the carpathian novels. man meets girl, girl doesnt want to know him, man needs her to redeem his humanity, eventually getting together.... same old same old. this book had more of a backbone to it. savannah is the only girl who refuses to settle dopwn with her mate for 5 years. the only girl i admire

great example of darkness and light

I really enjoyed this book as I think the characters were well matched. Gregori the Dark One is probably the most intimidating character ever and Savanah is a very brave woman to take him on. Both need to change certain views they have in order to understand each other and get along. They face a rough patch but they manage it perfectly. One of the best books on the brilliant Carpathian world. Reccomended.
