I know what you all mean about the bill thing. I went to e-bay and bought all the books I have not read yet (which was like 5 books) with in the past month and Im a broke college student. :-/I am so glad I just got paid maybe I will be able to go home next weekend. I agree Myrrha, C.F.'s are hte only books I have ever read and felt so connected to the characters

I like the way she can make you feel the mens struggle with the demon inside. Her characters are multi-dimensional and not all authors can do that. She has a great way of adding all kinds of characters into her storylines and how they all come together to make a fantastic and interesting story.

I went through the family tree, and tried to pick all the characters I could find that are unattached, or that are paired and their stories aren't told yet (well, more or less that we know will end up together, there are only two couples so far) Here is what I have come up with:
Vikirnoff and Natayla (Dark Demon, coming in 2006) Dimitri & Skyler
Dominic Benjamin (Eleanor's son) Josef (Eleanor's adopted son) The De La Cruz Brothers: Zacarias, Monolito, and Nicolas
Tamara (Gabriel & Francesca's daughter) Jennifer (Dayan & Corrinne's Daughter - if I recall correctly, she was converted when Dayan gave Corrinne blood while she was still pregnant) Rhiannon (could she still possibly be alive?)
So .. we still have alot of potential for books to come. I would love to read the stories of these characters at some point.

I don't think Rhiannon is still alive. The wizard did kill her lifemate so if she is she won't get a book of her own. I don't think there can be two lifemates for someone in CF's books.

That's why I put it as a question, I wasn't sure. I'm not done with Dark Symphony yet, and I just read about Dominic, I don't recall reading about her in any other books, but my memory is kinda like swiss cheese, things slip through alot. I had to go back and add Josef because I forgot he was actually a Carpathian as well, I knew he was adopted, but for some reason it didn't register that he was .. I thought for some reason he was human, then read the part when he was visiting Italy with Eleanor and Vlad. I was kind of like "d'uh!"

So how are you liking Dark Symphony? It was not one of my favorites. It just seemed not as good as the others to me.

It's a little confusing right now, but it's got more of a story to it than the rest, with the Scarletti's and all in it, to me it seems more indepth as far as the mystery of it all, in who is trying to kill Antoinetta and her Grandfather. I am actually enjoying it, it's a little different than the rest, not so much the tales of the vampires and whatnot, but more intrigue to it.
I'm about 2/3 done right now, Marita found the body in the tree, Byron found the package with the sheet music in it, and they are in the secret history room ... I should finish the book today.

Why isn't Dimitri on the family tree on CF's site?

Maybe he hasn't been mentioned enough yet. Not sure though.

Good question. I'm sure as we delve further into the world of the carpathians we will see his name..
