Format:Paperback
I have never read a story like this one. There is nothing to compete with it out there. Michail is the Prince of the Carpathians who is loosing his battle against turning into a vampire. He has to find his lifemate in time to save himself. He has lived for about a 1000 years and for the last 800 years has lived without any emotion and colour in his life. Raven his lifemate can feel his pain and reaches out to him in his mind. They talk and Michail realises he has found his lifemate.

I won't give to much of the story line away as it will only spoil one of the best books you are ever likely to read along with the rest of the series.

This series is not your usual romance it has a lot of action, voilence, sex and magic, in short a very exciting read.

I have read books 2 & 3 in the series and am now starting book 4 and the series promises to be one of the best I have ever read.

For those who haven't got them here is the series in order: 1-Dark Prince. Michail & Raven 2-Dark Desire. Jacques & Shea 3-Dark Gold. Aiden & Alexandria 4-Dark Magic Gregori & Savannah(daughter of Michail & Raven) 5-Dark Challenge Julian(twin brother of Aiden) & Desari.

By Musey
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first book in the 'Dark Series' following the species known as Carpathians as they try to prevent the destruction of their race, and fight off the ever pressing desire to turn 'vampire'.

I've read a lot of vampire books over the past year (Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series, Susan Sizemore's Laws of the Blood series to name just two) and 'Dark Prince' by Christine Feehan begins as it means to continue, that is to say this is a wonderfully provocative book, perfect for those of you that love the vampire genre.

In this book you are introduced to the series by way of Mikhail, the Prince of his race, tormented and haunted by his own terrible urges and contemplating suicide before he meets Raven, a modern American woman that's about to 'tick all his boxes', but modern women aren't exactly accustomed to olde worlde ways, and Raven isn't about to let Mikhail, Prince or not, walk all over her - you get the idea.

The romance in these books isn't what keeps them riveting, it's the complex characters themselves. The hero isn't perfect, and we love flawed characters!

I actually started this series by reading the second book 'Dark Desire' before this book, but such is the nature of these books you can pick them up in any order and instantly get pulled into the story. However, I would recommend that you start here, with Dark Prince, and let yourself be immersed in the world of the Carpathians.
Expect to be buying the whole series over the next few months!

Veyr bad writing 29 Oct 2008
By Lally
Format:Paperback
I have to agree with most of the negative reviews of this book on Amazon. It is obvious that the author has only a rudimentary grasp of how to construct a novel. There is frequent repetition of phrases, a narrow vocabulary, lack of tension, poor character development, wooden dialogue and no plausibility at all (I know it's supposed to be paranormal but I'm not talking about the premise here - it's the characters that are two-dimensional). Basically, it is like a B-movie in book form. The central relationship is contrived and feels unnatural and there is literally nothing to keep you reading. I can only assume that those who gave positive reviews are judging it as part of the series that gets better in later books. However, I won't be sticking around to find out.
