Dark Melody (The Dark Series - Book 12)

Lead guitarist of the Dark Troubadors, Dayan is renowned for his mesmerizing performances. His melodies still crowds, beckon seduce, tempt. And always, he calls to her. His lover. His lifemate. He calls to her to complete him. To give him the emotions that have faded from his existence, leaving him an empty shell of growing darkness. Save me. Come to me. Corrinne Wentworth stands at the vortex of a gathering storm. Pursued by the same fanatics who'd murdered her husband, she risks her life by keeping more than one secret. Fragile, delicate, vulnerable, she has an indomitable faith that makes her fiery surrender to Dayan all the more powerful. Love Spell Book Club Selection!

In the 12th installment in Feehan's paranormal Dark series (Dark Symphony, etc.), she again creates a richly evocative fantasy world in which immortal Carpathian males search for their "lifemates" and battle soulless vampires. When young telepathic widow Corinne Wentworth walks into the bar where Carpathian Dayan, of the legendary band the Dark Troubadours, is playing, he immediately recognizes her as his lifemate ("He heard the soft murmur of her voice, and at once his world changed"). Difficulties lie ahead for the couple, not the least of which is that the men who murdered her husband are hunting her and her sister-in-law, Lisa. Corinne's weak heart is also a major source of conflict. The question of whether it will be strong enough to withstand her transformation from human to Carpathian may leave readers with real doubts as to whether a happy ending is in store for this well-matched pair. Though Corinne's delicate condition forces Dayan to treat her with extreme care, their love scenes still sizzle. Feehan's prose is occasionally melodramatic and her descriptions cliched ("Dayan resembled a sculpture of a Greek god"), but this may be her most emotionally engaging installment to date.
