    <body><![CDATA[Let me first say that Feehan's 'Dark' series is akin to literary crack for me.  I just can't stop reading them!  I agree that her books have become very predictable, yet I still love those Carpathian dudes.  I want one for myself.

    <body><![CDATA[I have an addiction to Christine Feehan's Dark Series. I admit it. Sometimes the writing is awkward. Sometimes the characters are inconsistent. But I read on, compelled by the emotion infused into the story. If you haven't read any of the Dark books, this is not the place to start.
