DARK
DREAM
Christine Feehan
Gladly, I return to the world of the Carpathians, where the
males live in darkness until love awakens their hearts. This
chapter of the saga concerns Falcon, an ancient warrior of that
race, who has sought his true love for centuries, for only she
can save him from becoming a vampire, a beast driven to kill
and destroy. When he rescues Sara Marten from a gang of street
punks, he knows he has found the woman he has sought all his
life.
Sara has
spent fifteen years hiding from a vampire who destroyed her
family when she was a girl. At first, she believes Falcon to
be him, or something like him. When she learns the truth, she
accepts what must be, but holds off on committing to him until
the children she has been rescuing and caring for are safe.
Will she be able to escape the one who wants her death and give
her love to her destined mate before he becomes a monster equal
to the one hunting her?
While this
story is understandable even if you have not read the rest of
the series, it is so much better if you are familiar with the
setting and the recurring characters who appear therein. Falcon
and Sara make a wonderful couple, both strong in places that
offset the other's weaker spots. Again, Ms. Feehan's gamble
in changing the vampire legend pays off richly for her readers."

Liu's exceptionally original tale is the latest in her "Dirk & Steele" series and returns to her world of telepaths, shape-shifters, and other unusual creatures for a story of enchanted gargoyles and villains who prey on children. A clairvoyant agent and an imprisoned gargoyle find impossible love in a sensual tale that will have readers guessing until the end."

With two talented authors in their “stable”, Dorchester Publishing has offered readers a special treat. Dark Dreamers brings two fine paranormal series together in one book. Fans will get to read a Carpathian novella from Christine Feehan and then experience the world of Dirk and Steele with Marjorie M. Liu. The results are spectacular.
Dark Dream may be a novella, but it contains all of the passion and excitement of a full book. Readers will be captivated by Falcon’s story, and enchanted by Sara and her heart full of love. Author Christine Feehan’s exquisite skill is evident in all of the little details that make this story a page-turning delight.

Reviewed by Jennifer Bishop
Dark Dream, first published in the 2001 anthology AFTER TWILIGHT, is a stirring tale of two lost, lonely souls finding each other. Sometimes in a novella, it is hard to believe that a couple could fall in love so quickly, but Ms. Feehan makes it believable. At fifteen, Sara found the diary written to “my lifemate,” and somehow knew it was written for her. For that reason, when she recognizes Falcon, it is easy for her to accept him, and she’s already a bit in love. Falcon, of course, understands the concept of a lifemate, and therefore knows without a doubt that Sara is the one person in creation made for him. Their path will not be simple though, as Sara’s enemy is an ancient one who will not give up the chase easily.
