Title: A mixed bag
Review: It must be hard to come up with fresh ideas for plots and interesting characters for a series we have all grown to love. However, Dark Secret misses the mark. It was like getting mixed messages... is the hero worth loving? Is the heroine not quite human?The best in the Dark series were those that dealt with growing as a person/Carpathian. My favorite was Dark Desire (Jacques and Shea) in a truly moving story of sacrifice and devotion. Bringing in characters from previous books was like meeting old friends. Dark Fire was another good one with a spunky heroine and a Carpathian male who didn't know quite how to handle her.I would hate to see the Carparthian stories end, but surely plots could revolve around more true-to-life lives. I'd like to see a book without an evil vampire lurking. Real life is scary enough.Having said all the above, I hope the Dark series continue, if only to touch base with Jacques, Gregori, Darius, Lucien, and all the rest.
