I was looking forward to Zacarias' book. It did not disappoint. :-)

Dark Predator is the 22nd book in the Carpathian Series. It features the eldest De La Cruz brother, Zacarias.

Spoiler Alert in review. (I might give too much away)

Dark Predator is more emotional romance than sensual delight. Zacarias was always hinted as a being who wielded too much power. He was getting too close to the darkness. He believes the age and power is corrupting him already. He's one of the oldest Carpathians alive and he acts as father not only to his brothers but to the whole hacienda.The families under him sees him as a king. Coming from a 3rd World country, we still have many feudal systems in the provinces. The Santos and Fernandez are under their don. Zacarias, being the oldest, he is supreme. He is the authority in everything. Nobody should question him. Drug lords try to encroach on his property but he deals with them without mercy. 
As the Haciendero, it is also his job to take care of his people. Not only are they financially well-off, he makes sure they are well-equipped. There really are things in the provinces that go bump in the night. Zacarias makes sure everybody has a gun and each house has a panic button.


Margarita is in awed at first. It develops into something more in the end. When she realized Zacarias is her lifemate, shegoes from pleasing the don to pleasing the man.


My fave scene: Memories of Zacarias holding Riordan.

For all Christine Feehan Fans out there, this book must not be missed! It takes a dramatic twist at every turn! There will be no disappointment I swear to that.

Newbies out there, you need to read a couple of books before this one otherwise, you might not. Lifemating and hated enemies that run centuries deep can be tricky. This book is all about Razvan, the mage's grandson, and Ivory Malinov, the feisty little girl who grew up to be a warrior.


Each character has something to prove and both of them share a will stronger than death. So, why only 4 out of 5 stars? I love the book. I like bickering big he-mens and women who knows how to fight. Unfortunately, this book borders on pure fantasy. The hero and heroine have no conflict in their relationship. They each quietly accept it as fate and teach each other value, truth, love and fighting techniques. Spells, poems, brush with death can be expected and of course, there will be a Master Vampire involved. In this case, it is Ivory's brother Sergey.

Families collide and families unite in this gripping tale. Read her Dark Series! It's good!

The 19th Book to Christine Feehan's Dark Series. Feehan has never disappointed and her books are getting deeper and deeper to the problems with Carpathians and vampires. This time, when the plot thickened, the people of the earth bonded together.

Her Carpathian men are swirling with testosterone and that includes our hero, Nicolas De La Cruz. Nicolas is the middle of the five De La Cruz brothers who resided in the Amazon. The eldest, Zacarias, sent him with information to the prince of his people who is half the world away in the Carpathian Mountains. On the way to meeting the prince, he meets his lifemate and his world has met a metanoia.

Nicolas always believed in a fairytale ending where his lifemate would fall madly in love with him, have tons of babies and stay at home. He gets the opposite. She had a strong will and a fire in her. Sex is something she cannot tolerate because she cannot bare to be touched. Her powers are explosive to the point of endangering everyone. Worse, the Carpathian people need her powers.

Danger is at their doors. The endangered Carpathian must deal with mutated bacterias, pollutants, mages and marital struggles as they find a way to save their race.

I'm spoiling a lot already. One thing I must say, this is a must-read and the series is a must-collect. Who knew Carpathians, vampires, werewolves, jaguars and mages would combine in a world we are very ignorant of.

Extra treat for Feehan fans: Gregori will get a scolding form Father-in-law and his dear older brother.

Dark Prince by Christine Feehan

I thought my first review should be about the first book of my favorite romance series. Dark Prince is Christine Feehan's Book one on her Dark Series, a Carpathian Novel. It is a different take on vampire novels.

They are not vampires but Carpathians. Not dead but very much alive. These Carpathians are named after their mountain origins. They are a separate species, a powerful and immortal one but seemed doomed to extinction. After 200 years, a male Carpathian looses their emotions, feelings and ability to see colors. The lure of power and destruction becomes a nagging urge. When they can no longer take it, they kill their prey and relish the momentary surge of rush. This turns them into vampires, undead. Vampires are Carpathian males who turned and are no longer "of the light."

In order to save them from this plight, they must find their lifemates, their one true love. This lifemate will give them back their colors, emotions and life. She will save is soul and bring him back to the light. Unfortunately there are so few Carpathian women.

Mikhail, prince of the Carpathians is in turmoil. His inability to feel weakens his will to live on for his people. They have to face it: extinction. His sister was just murdered by human vampire hunters who cannot tell the difference between a Carpathian and a vampire. He is the judge, jury and executioner of his people. Mikhail has no other choice but to bring justice.

Enter Raven Whitney. She is a psychic with remarkable talents. Attraction flares up between her and Mikhail. Little did she know he was her... Dark Prince.

I like the series. Though, Dark Prince was not the first one I read. It is actually the third book I got my hands on in the series. It is a must-read and a must-collect. The main characters each struggling with their emotions but through it all, they profess their love. Mikhail struggles with his acquired emotions and the need to protect Raven at all cost. Raven, loner for most of her life, is struggling with the loss of her independence and rigid Carpathian ways. Their customs clashes but one thing they know and that is to protect each other at all cost. It's an explosive beginning!
