"Appealing Carpathian novel"
Though he has traveled the globe hunting vampires,
Carpathian Byron Justicano feels compelled to follow the
music to its source although he has already bought several
CDs by the artist. His "obsessive" quest leads Byron to
Italy's Palazzo della Morte better known as Scarletti
Palazzo. Playing the piano that lures Byron is blind
concert pianist Antonietta Scarletti, heiress to a fortune
and one-day is expected to manage the family shipping
business. Antonietta is quite courageous not allowing the explosion
that stole her eyesight and killed her parents to keep her
from living life to the fullest. However, someone wants
her dead and attempts on her life have occurred. Byron
knows she is his lifemate. Like all male Carpathians, he
will risk everything including his own life to keep
Antonietta safe. Fans of Christine Feehan's Carpathian novels will enjoy her
latest appealing tale that freshens up the series by
bringing in a descendant of THE SCARLETTI CURSE family.
The suspense laden story line reads at times more like a
thriller than a paranormal romance as the enthralling lead
couple strives to survive assaults on their lives while
also trying to ferret out the identity of their assailant
(s). Some amusing scenes lighten the taut intrigue;
together they blend into a supreme symphony. Harriet Klausner
