;D Carpathian males may be bossy, hardheaded, and all, but even they have to admit that they're wrapped around their lifemates little fingers. LOL They are completely and totally whipped, and they know it, even if they won't admit it.

LOL They will never admit it! So who all believes that CF put Luiz's conversion in this story to set it up for Gary to be converted?

It's very likely that Gary will be converted considering that Luiz was. I went back to reading Dark Magic, I think I might have found evidence that Gary has some small pyschic power. When Gregori was questioning him, on whether or not, he trusted him, Gary said while he was as scary as Hell, he didn't feel that Gregori was evil. Maybe he has a small talent n sensing the good or evil within people, and he just doesn't know it? But then again, you never know with Christine Feehan. She may introduce Nicholas or another Ancient Carpathian Male as Gabrielle's true lifemate, even if Gary is converted. We just have to wait and see.

If you read Celebrations then you found out what Gary is. I won't say anything in case you didn't read it yet.

LOL!!! Yeah keeping me out of here is like putting a bowl of gumballs down in a room full of children and expecting them to leave them alone... IT JUST AINT GOING TO HAPPEN... But to eliviate your fears (LOL) I am actually store bound today (Sat) After work....and you can bet that I will be walking through the door with DPos...
I love what I have read...in this thread so far. I've not read the book but I will tell you one thing I am pretty darn positive on and can't tell you why -its just a feeling. We will be seeing Ivory. When I say things along the lines of how CF focuses a point on a specific character we meet - as a writer myself - its a way of foreshadowing that you will see this character again.. I haven't a clue about who Ivory fully is, but amongst you, several of you have mentioned her, which means to me she will be the lead in one of these stories... I even have a suspision about who she might eventual .... find herself in company of - regardless it will be good to see how this thought pans out...

Ivory was the younger sister to the Malinov brothers and the De La Cruz brothers also considered her their younger sister, because they loved her very much, and were very protective of her. When Draven Dubrinsky started turning vampire, he became obsessed with her, but Vlad not wanting to kill his son, simply sent him away. When Draven came back from his exile, Ivory's brothers were all away at battle, so he saw his chance, and killed her. However, Manolito said none of them ever found her body, because they would have used it to journey into the netherword and retrive her soul, thus reviving her. I think it's posessible that Draven didn't kill her, but trapped somewhere, and she's been imprisoned like the dragons for centuries. From what we know about personality, she fiesty, intelligent, powerful, with a very kind and loving heart, and she wasn't someone who die without putting up a fight.

Ladz! This book ROCKED! no other word for it!
All these males so little time! haha!
Ok so was thinking...about who's who lifemate... I reckon Gary is Gabrelles (due to Luis conversion) Luis and Jasmine (asmentioned above) Zac and Solange (the hair of the cat WILL be flying) UI'm confused about Nicholas...possibly one of the missing aunts as mentioned before... now Dominic (oh la la) is Ivorys! he would have to be all manly and RESCUE her!! oh yeah....
Right so was really bored in LONG car journey yeaterday and had a brainwave! Remember in DC, Mikhail and Julian talking about THE REBEL Tiberiu Bercovitz? Well he is gona be the lifemate to ...wait for it....the twin that hid from Gregori! oh yeah....defo! could you imagine that? Fireworks to say the least coz ye know that that wee girl will be the 'apple of Gregori's eye'!! Come on Dimitri and Skyler's book!
I know I've missed some, but hay I can only think of so many manley men at once and not go into overdrive!

LOL.. Hey Flame!
So I FINALLY read DPos. And it was good - we knew it would be. Okay... So My theory still stands regarding Ivory, and Flame is on my wave length when it comes to which direction I think CF might go - I'm thinking Dominic may be her lifemate. Only time will tell - but she'll definately be a main player.
Okay who out of us regonized the IMPORTANCE of the world of mist & ghosts? When I first realized the underlining truth of the place and all the conversations I was like - this is cool and I was happy.
Whatelse whatelse.. OH yeah Solange and Zacarias - no way around that pairing it just IS and WILL BE.... and the greatest thing about it is When it happens the storyline will be excellent, and I am thinking it will be a mirroring of Manolito & MaryAnn's union. Carpathian/Jaguar essence will remain side by side in equalled-balance harmony. The problem will be, not with Solange accepting Zacarias, but Zacarias accepting himself. He is a killer - and his soul will be the darkest of the five because if I read correctly he is the Hunter - the main hunter of the De La Cruz family.
Here will be a man who when his emotions return to him will not think himself anything but a monster....Both him and solange have survived to protect thier families and because of this they truly are perfect for one another. But I believe she's going to have an uphil battle before he relizes that killing to protect is not the same as killing for pleasure. I really can't wait for that story....and when it comes I think we'll get jasmine & luiz story as well...(I'm not sure it will be a stand alone I get the feeling it might be more like Syndil & Barraks story line or possibly an antho.)
OH shoot... Nicholas is on his way to Carpathian mountains - where Gabriel is! (Ever feel like the DUH light just clicks on at the most unapropriate moments) I know I know we all want her to be with Gary but I just don't see it happening.... It might, but the fact is a human attachment will make for a great twist in a story involving Gabriel. The something she'll need to face before she moves forward....

LOL.. that would be funny - but remember there are still the two aunts trapped and I'm thinking mayhap one of them might possibly intertwine with Tiberiu.... But who knows.... As it stands it could verilly be Nicholas in the hot seat as well (despite the conundrum that is gabriell) **Shrugs** We'll just have to wait {a year or so} to find out. Ah well.....

Don't remind us Myrrha! A year is so long away! I can't wait to read more. I like how the storylines have been evolving lately. I had hear a lot of grumbling that they were all the same and some people had stoppeed reading them. Not me of course I loved them all. So the new twists and turns will definitely attract more readers to I think.

Sorry Guys, I accidently pressed the post reply button, before I was done. Well back to what I was saying, I definitly see Gregori being such a teddy-bear of a Dad, but I shudder to think about the poor Carpathian males who get him as a father-inlaw. BE AFRAID BOYS, BE VERY AFRAID.
Oh and Flame, Myrrha, I was wondering if someone was going to think that Dominic is going to be Ivory's lifemate. When I first thought that she may still be alive, I wondered if CF would pair her with Dominic, because she sounded like she'd be really good with him.
And I loved that Christine Feehan incorpted the Meadow of Mist and Ghosts in DPO. MaryAnn entering to save Manolito, reminded me of the ancient tales of Orpheus who went into the underworld to retrive the soul of his beloved Eurydice, and the descents of Inanna and Ishter for their lovers. That place really is the Purgatory of the Carpathian World.
And Flame, I like the idea of Tiberiu with one of the unborn twins, but I also think he could be with the Missing Dragonseeker Sister. Since he and Dimitri were such good friends, I think it would cool if they both were lifenates to a Dragonseeker Girl. And for last, who do you think the next book will be about? I'd say it's a tie between Nicholas and Zacarias.

So far the majority of the Lifemates have had simularities. Gabriel & Francesca (both were caretakers She of the people he of his brother) Jaxon & Lucian (both first in fight - others depended on them- her colleges on her, and Gabriel on him) Jaques & Shea (Lost amongst the flow - both suffered tragedy, fitting nowhere until the were with each other) Traian & Joie (courageous and adventurous) Mikahail & Raven ( Both trying to make the world a better place for their people)
