Good points. It could be that some carpathian's might have been captured and afflicted. Lord knows that the vamp. crew did a number on Traian when he was steaked out as a Carpathian pop in the cave of the mage. I will not discredit this because it is plausable, but I think it would be very hard to hide the taint of vampire from eyes which see so well.... The ancients - gregori, mikhail, lucian, Gabriel all can see such things no matter how it is "hidden"....*shrugs* we'll have to keep our eyes peeled and see whats what in the futre.

;D I am 100% that Zacarias's lifemate is Solange, and when those two meet, it is going to be one wild ride. LOL Talk about two strong forces coming together; it should be really, really, ... interesting.
I also think the next book is going to be about Nicholas, who is journeying to the Carpathian Mountains to warn Mikhail. As for who his lifemate may be, I think it will either be one of the Dragonseeker Aunts, or may be Gabrielle. However, since we saw that Luiz was coverted, she still may wind-up with Gary. I would have to see Nic and Gabby as a couple, before I could pass judgement, on whether they are suited.
And of course, we all are waiting for the day, when CF will announce that she's working on Dimitri and Skyler's book, and the date that she plans to release it. I'm personally wondering how Dimitri's ever going to get some time alone with Skyler. I mean, her very large and very protective family includes Gabriel, Francesca, Lucian, Jaxon, Gregori, Savannah, Darius, Tempest, Julian, Desari, Natalya, Vikirnoff, Colby, and Rafael,.... I personally think, him and Skyler, better just run off to wilds of Russia, so they can have some privacy to work out their issues. Hpmh, they'll have enough to deal with without adding half the Carpathian community into the mix.

Okay, I finished this book days ago and have just been reading what everyone has been saying throughout, so I've decided to ditch my whole review and just jump right into my ideas:
1. We should start a bet--which couple is next? Hehehe, well, I think it's definitely got to be Dominic and Ivory. And since Dom is a Dragonseeker, we can introduce the two aunts' storylines--maybe they're not conscious and present yet, but you know what I mean. And another reason why I think Ivory is alive--there was a quick image of her brothers teaching her how to fight blindfolded, when that wasn't taught to a woman of her time. It just made her stand out too much for CF to ignore her. Weird logic, I know, but I'm desperate lol.
2. Also, Gabrielle and Gary have GOT to be together--I won't take it any other way. Those two have got to have a happy ending, after all they've been through. I love how CF has intertwined their stories--Dark Magic, Dark Descent, and now even Colby's story, with this possible relation between the Jansen's.
3. Zacarias and Solange--most definitely, don't even doubt it, lol. Those two are going to have one of the best books in the series, at least for my standards. I love it when the girl fights the Carpathian all the way. It's just much more interesting to see the man get all flustered ;D
4. Nicolas...oi...I can't even think of who he'll be with. Oooh, I know! ME!
5. Sadly, I don't think Ruslan is Carpathian anymore. He just seemed kind of icky and super bad, the way everyone talked about him. But I do think the other two brothers are alive.
Okay, I had a few more thoughts but I just had a complete brain fart and can't remember anything. Wait...nope, it's gone. Alright, whatever, I'll be back when I'm back to normal, lmao.

LMAO - Normal is not permitted here. I Loved your placement of Nic... I laughed a little too hard and had several of my co-workers looking at me wierdly. Ruslan... yeah, I kinda think he might be vamp. but, I guess we won't know till the $#!^ hits the fan. As for Zac & Sol no doubt. I think, like you do, that that will indeed be an interesting book.

Your right, Earth. Gary and Gabby were so drawn to each other from the beginning, and I really can't see them with anyone else. Oh, and your weird logic about Ivory, wasn't weird at all. She had far too much uniqueness to be castoff, and not brought back in later books, and she has such a strong personality already, even if we haven't met her in person, yet. You known, she really fit her name. Her personality was strong and pure like ivory. ;D I know that really doesn't have any real significance, but I just thought you could tell so much about her as a person, by her name.

I also reckon Ivory is still alive. If ye read between the lines, it all but says it (even though 'shes dead')! ah these though provoking discussions...

So who all thinks Nicholas is going to have his book, next? ;D I personally like to see Mr. I-Am-Always-Pratical-And-Always-Right meet his match in the form of his lifemate. Any ideas on who she may be?

It will be interesting to see who follows Mano and Maryann... I wouldnt mind Nicholas story.. I mean it is kinda set up that he is on his way to the carpathian mtns... and could possibly bump into his lifemate on the way...
or she can go with Zacarius since Solange and Jasmine and Luiz is heading to the ranch....
but I am sure it wont be Dimitri and Skylers story yet... she is still to young.

Ok, finally finsished the book, I'm shocked I got though as quickly as I did with all the crazynss that been going on in my life.
I have to say I found it very intresting that MarryAnn turnd out to be a wolf and I just love the idea that Manolita is also wolf too. Makes me wonder if we are going to see more of the wolf now? Plus I find it intest that both the wolf and Carpathians can live together in one body. Where the Jaguars get "wipe" out, as to say. I'm almosth hoping that CF write another book with a lifemate bing a wolf.
I have to say I found it very intresting with the shadow wold and that really got me thinking about the all the Maxiam brothers. Truthly I think that may one might not be vampire. I'm thinking the youngest one, but I could be wrong. How knows.
I so wanted to cry when Manolita ran in to the Dubrinskys, but it was so great to see that them and see that they finally faced up to there "wrong" doing.
I have to say I agree with everyone that Zacarias and Solange could be lifemate. I would be very intrest to see how that one works out. I wonder who would "kill" how first.

Oh solange would tear Zacarias up - hands down. LOL. As for the jaguars getting wiped out in conversion... I might have mentioned this earlier or maybe not but, Juliettes jaguar was "wash-down" she could shift shape and all but it was not as strong as Solange's (who is a pure-blood princess). So I believe if a conversion is attempted with her, it has a good chance to be as MaryAnne and Manolitos was. Niether truly fading but co-existing side by side.
