Brief Book Summary:
Mikhail Dubrinsky is the prince of his people, the Carpathians. But they are dying out, there are few women, and the men are either falling prey to vampires, or are choosing the soulless life. Losing all hope, Mikhail is no longer sure he can bear the bleak future laid before him. The only thing that can add light to his life, can relieve the terrible and haunting loneliness, is to find a life mate. But he has given up believing one exists. Raven Whitney has a rare gift. She not only can read minds, but she can communicate telepathically. But her talent is not always a gift. Her job is to track the twisted mental paths of serial killers, and those evil thoughts drain her both mentally and physically. Now, she is hoping to heal and seek a quiet escape in the Carpathian Mountains, but when she mentally hears the anguished cry at dawn, she can not ignore it, unaware that her life is about to change forever. Read by Juanita Parker. 11 CD's 12.5 Hrs.

I just recently purchased and started re-reading all of Christine Feehan's Carpathian stories. I borrowed them all the very first time, so the fact that I'm paying money to re-read them, should speak to how I've come to love this series.
That being said, not all Carpathians are created equally.
When I very first read this book, YEARS ago, I had only just begun reading paranormal materials. I liked the premise of Carpathians but must admit the royalty of this race made me wonder how they'd survive.
Not extinction, but redundancy. Thankfully, the stories got better and the players more engaging. Every one is getting better, so I'm still spending hard earned money on Christine's books and I'll review them as I revisit her Carpathians and their lifemates.

I read "Lair of the Lion" first, and that lead me to read this series. (I love Vampires!!!) I loved this book, seriously didn't disappoint.
I plan to read all of this series, and I think anyone else would enjoy it.

I agree this book needed a better plot and some editing. Overall it did nothing for me so I didn't even finish the book.
Rated by buyers -
Christine Feehan writes a good story for women who like sensual details without being crude. While I could do without all the crying and screaming of most of her heroines during sex, the descriptions of the love-making are HIGHLY erotic without being offensive.
There is always humour in Feehan's books -- usually at the expense of the ultra macho males who are over-protective, over-sexed, and totally devoted to doing and being everything their mates want and need.
If Feehan would write a Dark Series book every week, I would mortgage my house to keep them coming. That's the highest praise I can give any author.
Rated by buyers -
This novel was the very first in a series that captivates many. It gave a whole new twist on the world of vampires and shapeshifters. Feehan molded a concept that has been around for years into her own. You fall in love with Mikhail and Raven. You are affected emotionally when things start happening to them. You feel for the carpathian people and wish them deliverance from the plight with ignorant others who don't and don't want to understand them. So, should you read it...lets just say when you read this novel you will most likely seek the second installment afterwards.
Write on, read on
