Dark Celebration ~ Christine Feehan

This is the seventeenth novel in the Dark series. In this novel the goal is for all the Carpathians to get together and celebrate the Christmas season, but there are problems from the start. The women are determined to prepare the entire feast in 'the human manner' and there are several problems that arise from being unfamiliar with the methods, or simply that it has been so long since they actually did anything like we do. Added to this problem is that there seems to be attacks being made on the Carpathians. More than one of them encounters a vampire, and the vampires have new tricks up their sleeves too!
