This book is okay. I don't know why, but I really didn't like the South American Carpathian family. After a point, I found it was getting ridiculous that every new family bloodline that was introduced into the Dark series had to be more powerful than the ones that came before it. But since two of the ones that came before were the Carpathian Prince (literally the heart and center of all his people) and the Daratrazanoffs who went hand in hand with the Carpathian Prince, it bothered me that the De La Cruz family suddenly had to uber powerful too. My question to that has always been, why? Not every Carpathian family needs to be super powerful. In fact, I think I would have remained interested in this series if Christine Feehan hadn't done that. Instead, it didn't bode well for things to come. Now, onto the romance...which was okay. I think I was starting to get jaded by how all of the Dark romances went, because I didn't really care about either Manolito or MaryAnn. They weren't bad characters or badly written; they were just there. They didn't really stand out to me beyond any of the other Carpathian couples of the series, which is a shame, because at least all of others stood out in some way or other. However, at least I was still willing to continue reading the series after this book, which is not what I can say about the next book I read, Dark Secret.
