Лучшие книги Карен Ченс

Ее отец — родной брат великого Влада Дракулы, а матерью была самая обыкновенная женщина. Сама Дорина Басараб — дампир, наполовину человек, наполовину вампир. Жизнь у таких, как она, недолгая, зато очень бурная. Дампиры подвержены приступам бесконтрольной ярости. Дорина свою ярость пытается контролировать и направлять ее на тех демонов и вампиров, которые безусловно заслуживают смерти. И когда она узнает, что Дракула сбежал из своей тюрьмы, ей ничего иного не остается, как встать на пути у своего непобедимого родственника.

Судьба наградила Кассандру Палмер удивительным даром — она умеет разговаривать с призраками и видит то, что произойдет завтра. В четыре года сделавшись сиротой, маленькая Кэсси обретает приют в доме вампира Антонио. Она не знает, что хозяин дома напрямую причастен к смерти ее родителей и пользуется даром девочки для осуществления своих преступных планов. Став взрослой, Кассандра сбегает из ненавистного дома, и с той поры жизнь ее становится постоянным бегством — девушку преследует не только Антонио, за ней охотится могущественный Сенат древних вампиров, мало того, сам Распутин, вампир, наводящий страх даже на всесильный Сенат, жаждет получить ее в свои руки. Кажется, нет надежды вырваться из сужающегося кольца преследователей, только чудо способно спасти Кассандру, и чудо происходит. Это чудо — любовь.

Кассандра Палмер, умеющая разговаривать с призраками и видеть то, что произойдет завтра, неожиданно становится наследницей титула пифии — главной и самой могущественной прорицательницы на земле. Вместе с этим подарком она наследует колоссальную энергию и умение перемещаться во времени. Но обретенное Кассандрой наследство создает ей множество проблем: в магическом мире идет война — маги Черного круга сражаются за власть с магами Серебряного круга, и у черных магов есть уже своя ставленница на трон пифии. Ведь, заполучив трон, они смогут свободно проникать в прошлое и изменять мир по своему произволу...

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir, the daughter of a vampire and a human woman. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs are born barking mad and live very short, very violent lives. So for five hundred years, Dory has been fighting to maintain her sanity by unleashing her homicidal tendencies on those demons and vampires who deserve killing. But now Dory's vampire father has come back into her life. Her uncle Dracula, notorious even among vampires for his cruelty and murderous ways, has escaped from prison, and her father wants Dory to work with the gorgeous vampire dueling champion Louis-Cesare to put him back there. Vampires and dhampirs are mortal enemies, and Dory prefers to work alone. But Dracula is the only thing on earth that truly scares her, and when Dory has to go up against him, she'll take all the help she can get...

Cassandra Palmer can see the future and communicate with spirits-talents that make her attractive to the dead and the undead. The ghosts of the dead aren't usually dangerous; they just like to talk...a lot. The undead are another matter.

Like any sensible girl, Cassie tries to avoid vampires. But when the bloodsucking Mafioso she escaped three years ago finds Cassie again with vengeance on his mind, she's forced to turn to the vampire Senate for protection. The undead senators won't help her for nothing, and Cassie finds herself working with one of their most powerful members, a dangerously seductive master vampire-and the price he demands may be more than Cassie is willing to pay...

Being a goddess is a lot less fun than you might think. Especially when you’re only a half goddess, and you only found out about it recently, and you still don’t know what you’re doing half the time. And when you’ve just used your not-so-reliable powers to burglarize the booby-trapped office of a vampire mob boss.

Yeah, that part sucks.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Cassandra Palmer, aka the Pythia, the freshly minted chief seer of the supernatural world. After all, Cassie still has to save a friend from a fate worse than death, deal with an increasingly possessive master vampire, and prevent a party of her own acolytes from unleashing a storm of fury upon the world. Totally just your average day at the office, right?

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing...

Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with a strange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so he’s not an easy kill.

It turns out that Dory had been working with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to her.

To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists, and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…

Cassandra Palmer recently defeated a god, which you'd think would buy a girl a little time off. But when your job is being Pythia - the world's chief clairvoyant - you don't get a lot of R&R. Cassie is busier than ever, discovering her power, figuring out her complicated relationship with enigmatic and sexy vampire Mircea, and preparing for her upcoming coronation. But someone is dead set against Cassie being Pythia, and will go to any lengths to stop the coronation ceremony from happening - including making sure that Cassie is never born. Now, Cassie has to save herself - and the world, if she can find the time...

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. So far, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons and vampires who deserve killing.

Back home in Brooklyn after the demise of her insane uncle Dracula, Dory’s hoping her life is about to calm down. But then she gets some visitors. A friend wants Dory’s help in finding a magical Fey relic, and the gorgeous vampire, Louis-Cesare, is desperate to find his former mistress Christine.

Dory and Louis-Cesare quickly discover that the same master vampire Christine is bound to is also rumored to be in possession of the relic. But when the master vampire turns up dead, they realize that there’s more at stake than a missing mistress. Someone is killing vampire Senate members, and if Dory and Louis-Cesare can’t stop the murderer, they may be next…
