Dark Possession is the 18th book in Christine Feehan’s Carpathian series. The description of the book intrigued me, from the highly intelligent race of predators with deeply protective instincts, to the whole concept of the life-mate, let alone the Brazilian jungle setting and shape-shifting jaguar men.

I was won over several years ago by the strange and fascinating world of Christine Feehan’s Carpathian race. Dark Symphony intersects the Carpathians with the Scarletti family, introduced in the melodramatic Gothic romance The Scarletti Curse.
