"I LOVED this book! I devoured it! Couldn't put it down! I thought Feehan was exaggerating when she said she couldn't get Jacques out of her mind, and she fell in love with his character. I totally see why! I too fell for him and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The only thing I would have changed is that I would have liked more of his memory to come back, especially that concerning Byron. I can't wait to read the next book the series!"

    " I loved the beginning of this book with Jacques being buried alive while surviving on the blood of rats. These Carpathians are no joke! Anyhow, the story line with Shea was good, especially how it evolved throughout the book. I love a romance with a twist and Christine delivered! "

    " This was okay. There were parts that i liked and parts that i didn't like. The thing i liked was the concept and the romance of course and i liked the action too but what turned me off about this book was the women. Shea in particular. I'm all for a women being independent and want to do for herself but she did it to the point of annoyance. Everything Jacques wanted or needed or tried to get her to understand, there was always an argument and always defiance. ANNOYING! Really? Most things she argued about was stupid and unnecessary. Always stubborn and couldn't trust anything he said for nothing. Overall i didn't really care for the book but it wasn't to bad "

    " Online library MP3 download to my cellphone. Book 2. This book is about Doctor Shea O'Halloran who is half Carpathian, but doesn't know it. And Jacques Dubrinsky (one of Mikail's brothers) who was buried alive for 7 years, who everyone thought was dead. Shea lost both parents, her mother to the abandonment of her lifemate, and Rand who turned vampire. As it turns out, Jacque was the victim of Rand's minions and it will be Jacque who has to rid the Carpathian's and humans of his evil in the end. "
