Dark Blood (Dark #26) by Christine Feehan



Blurb:
At long last you are truly back with us…

Zev Hunter was an elite warrior, a dark-blood dealer of death to rogue Lycans who preyed on mankind. He was a loner, never given to personal attachments, and damned fierce at his job. But Zev begins to question his past and his purpose when he awakens in the darkness of the sacred cave of warriors—and is soothed back to consciousness by the sensuously familiar voice of one woman, the woman who has haunted his fantasies for centuries. She was Branislava, member of the Dragonseeker clan…

Mother Earth called the ancients to witness your rebirth…

For this half-mage, half-Carpathian temptress, the ritual of awakening Zev to the council of warriors was the only way to save him. Locked away for his own protection, the time has now come for his rebirth, for his blood to stir with that of the ancient warriors before him. He has been assured by Branislava that their fates are entwined, that their spirits are woven together for eternity and that his new purpose in life is beyond imagining.

Now, with a blood-sworn vow of honor, mercy and endurance, and under the influence of a siren as bewitching as Branislava, Zev begins to wonder what his purpose is, what it means for the future of the Carpathians and what it is about his rebirth that he has to fear…

My review:
This book takes place shortly after the events at the end of Dark Wolf (Dark #25) when Zev Hunter was mortally wounded fighting against rogue Lycans.  He was saved only because Branislava joined her life force to his and kept him from death.  They have been in the healing earth but it seems his services are needed by Carpathians and the Lycans to find a traitor in their ranks.  Zev has to deal with almost dying, his feelings for Branka and figuring out how to use both his Lycan and Carpathian gifts to keep everything he holds dear safe. 

Christine Feehan does action, adventure and romance like nobody else.  Dark Blood is a prime example of this.  This book is a non-stop roller coaster that will have you flipping pages with alacrity. If I have one complaint it is that we didn’t get to see more of Gary.  There is a lot of the Carpathian language in this story but it is all translated as it happens you don’t have to go to the index to see what they were saying.
