5.0 out of 5 stars FEEHAN GOES MANGA!!, October 5, 2007

By	D. Tucker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved it!! This is a great manga and stayed true to her story "Dark Hunger" from the Hot Blooded anthology. The pictures are very well done and I was happy to find a teen rating on this. Yet another way to enjoy the dark books!

I think it is very odd that so many reviewers had trouble telling that this was a manga before buying. I guess amazon should have put "manga" or "graphic novel" instead of "paperback". However, it isn't Feehan's fault and I think it is VERY mean to blame her. She made it very clear what people were getting on her website and newsletter. Don't bash her because you don't like comic books.

Yes this book is a RE-ISSUE, she already wrote the book. If you want to read the novel get Hot Blooded. If you are looking for the new Dark Book this year get Dark Possession in hardcover. If you are looking for paperbacks get Dark Celebration. Already read um? Try Safe Harbor or Deadly Game for more Feehan enjoyment. Leave the manga to those who will enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comic , October 4, 2007

By	L. Yang "book_maniac" (Green Bay, WI USa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I see that there are a lot of bad reviews on this with the frequent lines of "I didn't realize that it was a comic...." WELL, in the editorial Review section beneath the comic, it does state that it's a comic/manga format so those that were disappointed because it wasn't a book should have taken the time to read the details first.

I've read the book and it was great and I have to say that the comic was a good idea and the graphics were well done and it stayed true to the the storyline. I enjoyed it as much as the original "book"

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Happy Camper., October 21, 2007

By	Dawn Ibanez "paranormal lover" (Burtonsville, MD USA) - See all my reviews

I've read the other reviews, and I have to say, I knew that this was going to be a graphic novel. I can go on and on about how this isn't a Manga but that isn't even why I hated this book.

Now, I have to say that I like graphic novels, and thought that this adventure would be different from the other Carpathian novels. The adventure was different, but in the completely wrong direction. Stories/Novels like this... especially Romance, shouldn't be rated T+. That's for 15-16 year olds. This was a story that's supposed to ignite passion and desire... you can't do that so watered down. And believe me, this was watered down.

Again, I can go on and on about the things that I didn't like. But with so many reviews saying how great this was, and the only negatives being that this was a comic book, I wanted to tell you real reasons not to pick this one up.
