Great banner Ailenia, it looks really wonderful! I just saw the 30 minute teaser on the site, and I just know that the trailer will be even better. Oh yes, like Earth I've noticed that it was filmed in the sunlight, but I don't know if it's really all that significant. The real trailer may be shot at night, but then again, who really knows?

Have to say, that was the best teaser made so far! Can't wait for full-length ;D

It is definitly a great teaser, but that's only fittling since I'm sure that Dark Possession will be a great book. The one scene that I thought was really cool, was when MaryAnn created that powerful wind(?) whatever, that blew Manolito or maybe it was the bad guy, clear across the screen. ;D I so want to know how she did that! Well this book is about MaryAnn and Manolito, I wonder who the next will be about? Christine Feehan always drops hints of her next star couple, and personally, I hope it's Dimitri and Skyler. I just have a feeling that their book will be next, or at least, not long after. In a book series, you can easily jump ahead a few years, so I don't see why their book shouldn't be next. I mean, if she can have Savannah a baby in the womb in Dark Desire, and then, two books later, have her an adult, she can surely have Skyler grow from a teenager into a young woman just as soon.

I didn't even notice MaryAnn using the wind! Had to go back and see it ;D . So is this wind thing a newfound or inherent power? Totally awesome. Agh, I can't wait for this book!
I'm not sure Christine will make Skyler's book next, just because it'll up the tension, lol. Plus, she usually has at least one book in between when there's a passing of time, doesn't she? I would reeeeeally like Nicolas' book to come out, but she doens't often have two brothers right after the other. Well, except for Lucian and Gabriel, and Mikhail and Jacues, and even Desari and Darius. Oh ok so that's everyone but the Savage twins so maybe Nicolas' book will be next, hehe. I have this fear that he might turn vampire in this book, though >_< . I'd be so sad, but you have to admit that it would be a great addition to the storyline. Best option would be to have Dimitri and Skyler, for the sake of the fans (me). Those two NEED to be together.

Earth, bite your tongue! Christine Feehan most definitly will NOT have Nicholas become a vampire! Absolutely not. Nicholas needs to find his Amazon, and get driven crazy by her like all his brothers, with their lifemates. Besides, the Carpathians have enough powerful vampires to deal with, they do not need to have anymore powerful hunters turn vampire. Especially not, a character I've grown really into. But yes, it would be interesting if that happened; sad, but interesting. As for Dimitri and Skyler to be the next couple to have a book out, your probley right, that the Queen of Carpathians will hold off writing their story just for tension's sake. Thought I do agree, those two need to be together, SOON. And as for having Nic's book after Mano's, it could happen. Riordan's short story, "Dark Hunger", was before Rafael's book, "Dark Secret". Will find out more on whose to be next, in Dark Possession, and the sooner August 28, arrives, the better.

Hehe, sorry, Red. I just remember reading something that made this twinge go off in my head, like, "Oh no, well then he could turn into a vampire!" and I've had that fear ever since. But even as "evil" as Colby thought he was in Dark Secret, I fell in love with him.
I didn't know Dark Hunger was right before Dark Secret, really? I read DH way later, though, and I never saw it in the order on the inside cover of the books to memorize, hehe. So where do Dark Descent and Dark Dream come in?

;D It's okay Earth. Sorry, if I acted like some basket case, my sisters tell that I rarely lose my cool, but when I do I tend to go overboard.Hehe, I guess I have offically joined the FODSC(Fanatics Of The Dark Series Club), with this rant. And to answer your question, Dark Dream was after Dark Fire and before Dark Legend, and Dark Descent was after Dark Symphony, and before Dark Melody.
As for Nic being evil to Colby, I think once she got to know the real him through Rafael's memories, and not the emotionless warrior we first meet in Dark Secret, I think see came to see him as he truly is, and can be again. In fact, I think of all of her brother-inlaws, Colby may become the closest to Nicolas, once he's able to feel emotions again. It says in the books, she willingly shares all the happy moments and bright colors of her life, with her new brothers, so they have some measure of comfort in their fight with their inner demon, so I know they appreicate her for that alone.

Chances are good I'd say that the next drk book will be Nicholas's... and I am with you Earth.. I do not believe that CF will allow any of the De La Cruz Brothers turn Vampire....
The Family is loyal, and honorable, plus with three of the siblings returned to the land of light, laughter, and love... Theres enough emotional backlash I am willing to bet to keep the other two from turning. The brothers may not feel like the ones with lifemates but they can syphon some of the emotions.
If I had to guess, well get Nicks story first.... and its a toss up between Tiberius or Dimitri & Skylers stories, then on to Zacarius with a nice battle thrown in against the third & fourth Vamp bro, then on to Dominics Storyline....I'm willing to bet we need a specialized weapon to kill Xavier (thus the mention of Tiberus Arms master in Celebrabration....), that is ofcourse after you get through the fifth Vampire Brother, who is as old as Zacarius and a thousand times worse than his siblings...
OOOh I get tinglies just thinking of the storylines to come.....!!!

I think it will be in the order you've guessed, Myrrha. Along with Dimitri and Skyler's much anticipated story, I really want to see what Christine Feehan has instore for Nicolas, Zacarias, Tiberiu, and Dominic. I really want to meet Tiberiu, because somebody who was more anti-authority than Josef, and more smart-mouthed than Julian, along with being a talented weapons master, sounds like a really, really, cool character. And of course there's Dominic, who needs to find his lifemate and the rest of his scattered family. Speaking of the Dragonseeker Clan, she has to write stories for Natalya's Aunts, who I just know are the dragons frozen in the cave, and the Missing Dragonseeker Girl who escaped Xavier and Razvan, long ago. So many stories; I think the Queen of Carpathians will have to drink buckets of coffee, so she has the energy to stay up all night writting them!

LOL agreed. Oh definately have to have stories of the Aunts. I want them free, and happy.... HEck I am a dragonseeker enthusiast - I want Dominic Happy, and the only way that'll happen is if he frees his nieces, finds his lifemate, and vanquishes the nasty SOB who killed his sister...

I agree Myrrha, when the Carpathians finally destory those two slimeballs who answer to the names Xavier and Razvan, I'm celebrating it as a national holiday, and dancing to the tune of "Ding-dong the Mage is dead! Which old Mage? The Dark Mage!" I personally wanna see the Carpathian women all join their powers and defeat them, because they really, really, need to be taken down by women, since they've made all their female relatives lives hell. After the women have their fun creaming them, then the men can join in and beat the tar out of them for hurting their women. It very, very, very, pleasent experience.

Hey everybody, I know I just posted a message not to long ago, but what can I say when you have something that has to be discussed, you just have to let it out. Does anyone ever think there have ever been any female lifemates that have been older than their other halves? So far we haven't seen any, but that can be explained by the fact a majority of the lifemates have been human and therefor were born centuries after their ancient lifemates, and that even centuries earlier, it was still hard for the Carpathian race to produce female children. But I wonder if, thousands or millions of years earlier, there weren't Carpathian women who were Ancients by the time their lifemates were born, or still flegdlings, and had to waite 200 years (which was the-coming-of-age mark in the past), for them to mature and claim them?

Hm...you know, I don't see a reason why there couldn't be, actually. I think the only reason we haven't seen it is for the sake of the readers--most women don't like men to be younger than them. But I bet you it has happened.
