Once was all it took and I was hooked. I was enjoying my usual Saturday morning in my local used book store. Looking for something new and interesting and there was "Dark Demon". The cover was interesting but what really got my attention was the sticker on the front that boosted "Specially designed for comfortable reading" - yup that got me (what can I say - I'm a curl up in bed reader lol ). Now this book is a part of a very long and complex series by one of the queen's of paranormal romance - Christine Feehan and just so happened to be book 16 of her phenomenal "Carpathians - Dark Series".
This book was such a breath of fresh air and a completely unique perspective on the vampire lore. I also consider myself, as someone of eclectic sensibilities and while I might enjoy romance - I love all the other genres too. Now, this book allowed me to experience, multiple genres in a fast-paced, hilarious, kick-ass ride. Let's just say that I missed a few meals that day and I literally did not move until I finished it.
Christine Feehan has worked magic on a legion of fans with her
darkly thrilling Carpathian tales. Now she delivers the provocative tale
of a female vampire slayer who proves as seductive—and mysterious—as
the night dwellers she stalks…
For as long as she can remember, Natalya has been fighting
demons: first in the form of childhood nightmares, then later, immortal
creatures that kill and prey on the innocent—including her own twin
brother. Whether Carpathian or vampire, she slays those who murder by
night, and has no equal—until she is seduced by the very thing she
considers her enemy…
A Carpathian who has seen nearly everything in his
endless existence, Vikirnoff didn’t think he could be surprised
anymore—until he faces a woman who rivals him as a vampire hunter. A
formidable and gifted warrior in her own right, Natalya has a nature
that is strangely familiar—yet alien—to his own. Who is this mysterious
female who fears no one—not even him? Natalya could be the key to the
survival of the Carpathians, but all Vikirnoff is certain of is that she
is the key to his heart and soul…

Natalya is seriously impressive. She had me laughing out loud and feeling sorry for Vikirnoff; all while they both kicked-ass. She was not what he expected but exactly what he needs. Definitely, FOMB (Forever On My Bookshelf).
