The Blurb:
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...
Would she find magic--or madness--in his dark embrace?
Young Savannah Dubrinsky was a mistress of illusion, a world-famous magician capable of mesmerizing millions. But there was one--Gregori, the Dark One--who held her in terrifying thrall. Whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality sent shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine.
With a dark magic all his own, Gregori--the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males--whispered in Savannah's mind that he was her destiny. That she had been born to save his immortal soul. And now, here in New Orleans, the hour had finally come to claim her. To make her completely his. In a ritual as old as time...and as inescapable as eternity.
My Review
5 Her dark one Stars
"The five years I allotted you your freedom have been hell for me and dangerous to anyone I came into contact with. I am very close to turning, and it is too late for me to seek the dawn. It was necessary for the safety of all concerned that I come for you now." -Gregori

"And just for the record, your mind needs to be washed out with soap! Half the things you think we're going to do are never going to happen. I could never look at you again."-Savannah
Dark Magic the 4th book in the Dark Series by Christine Feehan is my favorite book of the whole series, by far!! I am totally in love with this book. In books there are some couples you like, some you hate, and some you love. Some that feel like just a story, some that make you excited, and then there are the couples that feel so real and tangible that they come to life for you. They are like a friend, they live inside you. Burnt in your memories for all times. They have so much chemistry that you feel it as deep as they do, and they make you long for that kind of love. That is this couple for me!! Damn even after 4 times of reading this book I still find it amazing. I still get all giddy with butterflies and try to savor every moment of the read.
"You are part of me. I cannot hurt you. Touch my mind with yours. I want you more than I have ever wanted anything in my entire existence." -Gregori

"You are part of me. I cannot hurt you. Touch my mind with yours. I want you more than I have ever wanted anything in my entire existence." -Gregori
"I was being childish, Gregori, when I made such an accusation," she said softly, her eyes meeting his squarely. "I wanted my own life, with no one to answer to. It was thoughtless and wrong of me. And I was afraid. But I'm not now, and I ask your forgiveness - "-Savannah
Savannah started off in this book running for her freedom. She was naive and didn't understand how her actions effected Gregori. She was scared of him because he was so powerful. He brought out such deep feelings, that she was afraid that he would take over her life. But Savannah grows up quickly when she almost loses Gregori to the darkness. She realizes how selfish she was and she becomes a truly wonderful lifemate to Gregori. Loving, supportive and giving. She brought out a much softer side of Gregori. She got him to let go and live. Made him smile, laugh, and she loved and accepts him unconditionally. Savannah had a very mischievous playful personality. What I loved most about Savannah was she knew what an amazing man her lifemate was. She wanted to learn how to be a partner to Gregori, she wanted to help this great man of power, take some of his burden, and be a team. She wanted to be worthy of such a great lifemate. And she was!
"When an old geezer marries a young chick, he has to learn to get back into the swing of things. Party time. Night life. Does it ring a bell, or has it been too long?" she teased. Gregori bunched her hair in his hand and tugged. "Show some respect, bebe, or I might have to turn you over my knee." "Kinky." One delicate shoulder rose and fell in a sexy little shrug. "I'm willing to try anything once."-Savannah and Gregori
"Savannah? Were you trying to hit me?" "I did hit you - twice, you scum. You didn't even notice the first time." She sounded very irritated with him. For some reason it made him want to smile. "I apologize, mon amour. Next time, I promise I will notice when you strike me." The hard edge to his mouth softened into a semblance of a smile. "I will even go so far as to pretend that it hurts, if you wish it."-Gregori and Savannah
Oh my Gregori. My yummy, sexy, bossy, dark Gregori, how I love you! Gregori was perfect, amazing, and I fucking loved him! Just sayin'. Gregori has been alone a long time. Shunned by the very people that depend on him for protection and healing. He is the boogie man of the Carpathian people. Gregori feels he is dark, a monster. Killing countless vampires some who were close friends and family has taken it's toll on his soul. Gregori is so close to turning because he gave Savannah five years of freedom that he was almost lost to the darkness when he claimed Savannah. Gregori was super protective. He battled with giving Savannah the freedom she wanted and keeping her safe. He was very old fashion when it came to his views of a woman's role in a relationship, listen to her lifemate and stay safe. But Savannah shows him quickly that women today don't play that game! Gregori truly wanted Savannah to be happy, so he did soften and learned to compromise with Savannah for the most part, but he was still Gregori, and he never changed when it came to her safety. Gregori was perfect! I would change nothing about him.

Look at your hero now. See what I really am. I kill without thought. Without effort. Without remorse. Without mercy. I am the monster you named me, and I am without equal. Someday I will pay the ultimate price. Savannah's soft laughter whispered over his skin. It was a gentle, cleansing breeze drifting through his mind. And who is stronger than my lifemate? No one can kill you. -Gregori and Savannah
"I love you, Gregori," she whispered softly against his throat. "I really love you. The real you. Do you understand?"-Savannah
Everything about this couple cried out to me. I felt extremely connected to them. Their love was explosive, wild, deep and very moving. I can't give words to how much I love Savannah and Gregori. Gregori in all his kickass glory, and Savannah given him all kinds of hell. I loved watching Gregori eat his words about how to handle women, it was too funny. And the way Savannah wrapped Gregori around her finger was so cute. It was great seeing their love grow to something unbreakable and beautiful. It was fun getting to see Aidan again. And to make a perfect book even more unforgettable we meet Gary Jansen in this book. God I love me some sweet, nerdy , Gary Jansen! I truly loved this book from start to finish, and never wanted it to end! This book is awesome and amazing and if you like paranormal and have not read this book you should try it.
"You are my world, ma petite, my very existence. You are what makes living bearable. You are my light, the very air I breathe." His mouth brushed her pulse, her earlobe. "You are not meant to walk in death. You never were." "If you walk in death, Gregori, then that is where you will find me. Right beside you. I belong where you are. I am your lifemate. There is no other. I am your lifemate." -Gregori and Savannah
