I also enjoy the Ghost Hunter series, those tend to be fun as well. I haven't read all of the Leopard series but I have read most of them.

Christine Feehan is a great author! I have read the entire Drake Sister series, Sister of the Heart series, and Carpathian/Dark Series that are currently available. Some I definitely like better than others, but I enjoyed them all. I have also read many of the Leopard series, but I don't like those as well. Just as an example of how well I like her books, I think that I read Water Bound 3 times last year. Earth Bound Just came out 10 days ago, and I've already read it twice. These are great stories with great characters and I can't wait for her new book to come out next month. Dark Ghost is on my wish list. Oh, and I almost forgot about the Ghost Walkers. I've read all of those, and I'm anxiously waiting for the next book coming out in 2016. It's fun to imagine a woman with Black Widow spider abilities.

This just goes to show how different people's reading tastes can be. :) While I do usually love Christine Feehan's writing I really haven't liked her last few Dark Hunter novels and really didn't like Water Bound AT ALL...in fact, I almost didn't finish it. I felt that it really lacked in story and was far too full of filler material (such as describing ad-nauseum the diving equipment and Rikki's disability repeatedly etc.) This is something I have noticed is a problem in her Dark Hunter series as well, at least in the last 2-3 books. In that series her books are getting bogged down with the Carpathian language being written out far too much, spells in that language are written out constantly too. This is not only boring, it's distracting to the story. I hate to say it but I will...it leaves me feeling as though she is simply trying to make her word-count for the publisher and the stories are suffering.

I've enjoyed the Leopard series and the Ghost Walker series as well....I just hope that when I read the newest of these series I don't run across the same thing. I want the old Christine Feehan's writing style back.

I love all her series and have read all her books. I like the Drake Sisters the most and the Dark Series next.

Christine Feehan was my first paranormal romance author, and I loved everything she wrote. I just finished the newest Dark book (#27) and I am having mixed feelings. I was hoping that something new or exciting happened, but it was just the same ole thing. Of course I will read the next one - just can't help myself! :D

Love Christine Feehan but tired of the Carpathian series. Stories all too similar that I almost have memorized. Her weres and Ghostwalker series are awesome and always feel fresh and new.

I just recently started reading Christine Feehan. I love her Dark series so far! I just finished Dark Magic, and it has been my favorite. I loved Gregori and Savannah both. Savannah is also my favorite woman in the series thus far. I loved how her and Gregori banter back and forth on if she will listen to him or not. I read "The Awakening" in the Leopard Series and enjoyed it as well. I own the first Ghostwalker book and the first three of the Drake Sisters but haven't read them yet.

I just finished “Spider Games” by Christine Feehan and am sadly disappointed. Many of my favorite authors (like Christine Feehan) seem to be getting more focused on kinky sex than plot any more. Since the 50 Shades of Grey pandemonium, it seems many authors are jumping on the bandwagon and romance novels are having less of plot, action and substance. I like reading romance and the sex does not bother me, but I enjoy more in a book than just sex (it is just too much like cheesy porn). I have faithfully read all of Christine Feehan’s books, but I am just not excited when they come out any more.

I love the Drake sisters, but I have been skeptical about starting the dark series because of how many there are.

However, I have recently decided to start reading the first one.

I absolutely love her dark series! I haven't read them all yet but they are so captivating and intense. She really knows how to keep her readers interested and lost in her books, not wanting to put it down. They're suspenseful, sexy, thrilling and all around a great read

I have all the dark series, drake sister, sisters of the heart, torpedo ink, and the leopard series. I dont have a particular favorite character in dark series but i will be happy when gary finds his mate. He has been in quite a few of the dark books and deserves his life mate. I'm also interested in seeing what christine comes up with jubal and his weapon that his father gave him.

Christine Feehan is a good write. I've read The Drake Sisters and I think all of the Carpathian novels. The thing is, it kind of gets repetitve and it's like the same story but with different characters. Few of them seem original after the first four books or so. My favourite book is Gregori's book.
