How does Christine Feehan use imagery in Dark Magic?

Examples of Imagery:

"His first hundred years had been a wild orgy of feeling, senses, power, desires-even goodness. But slowly, relentlessly, the darkness that imperiled the soul of a Carpathian male without a lifemate had claimed him."

"We had entered the monster's playground, and he was in the mood to play. He didn't try to drown any of them right away, or kill them outright. He tossed them into the air and ripped parts of them away. Pieces of bodies were floating in the water. A girl's head bobbed up and down near the bank."
