The problem with this book is that I picked it up and read it 3 times before I could even put it down, to discover I was HOOKED. And I have not looked back since - I cannot get enough of all things Carpathian. Feehan has a gift for explaining in detail to the reader to the point you are literally in the same room by the same fire, smelling the same candles with Mikhail looking at you with those dark hungry eyes. And Raven did not disappoint either. I can highly recommend this book. In fact, I think I will read it again - just for the pure enjoyment of it.

This was the first in a long series that I plan to continue reading. Raven has telepathic powers enabling her to communicate with a male in the Carpathian race. An intense romance starts and continues throughout the book. This isn't a light read. It is very descriptive and detailed which was great most of the time and bogged down in parts. Recommend this to paranormal romance readers.

I know fans of Chrstine Feehan will shoot me for not absolutely loving Dark Prince...but I just plain didn't see much to love. The book was VERY wordy (tons of boring descriptions) and actually really repetitive (I thought maybe someone moved my bookmark because I could have swore that I had read this passage...once, twice or maybe even three times before). Most of the characters I found to be very dull. The inconsistencies with Raven's actions and way of thinking bothered me quite a bit. Also parts of the story was rather inconsistent as well (the amount of power the Carpathians possessed as well as why they would logically fear any of the things that threatened them were a little unbelievable). Also many of the events in the story I thought were completely unnecessary...and just there to try to make the story move forward...but really failed to do so. The one thing I can say I thought was the saving point of the novel was the character Gregori... he was the single most interesting thing written in the entire book. Lastly...this edition of the novel also featured the short story "Dark Descent"...which I found was slightly better the Dark Prince...only because it was MUCH shorter and pretty much managed to get through the same amount of story as Dark Prince.

I was blown away by Dark Prince. I was not able to put this book down. I read it in a day and a half. Amazing chemistry and story line.

I am usually not into romance but I was given this book and was bored one day so I thought I would give it a shot. Lets just say it captivated me! I couldnt put it down! Go figuire, a tomboy addicted to a romance series, you know its good!!!

This first book of the dark series instantly hooked me onto the rest of the series. Christine Feehan has some serious talent with words - heck, not words - beautiful imagery!! This book features the Carpathian prince Mikhail Dubrinsky and Raven Whitney and some serious acion between the two of them! If you got hooked on romance novels by Sherrilyn Kenyon, this book is perfect for you!!

I picked up this book because we were in the midst of moving- none of my favorite authors had anything new out, and all of my old favorites were packed in one of the many boxes in storage. I have to say that I was extremely impressed with this author. So much so, that I am now in the midst of collecting all of her other works, and have yet to be disapointed in any of the Carpathian, Ghostwalker, or Drake sisters books. If you like Sherrilynn Kenyon, Angela Knight, Maggie Shayne or Suzanne Brockmann you will definately enjoy Christine Feehan.

This was the first romance novel I ever read, and I read the entire thing in three days! I have since read others but nothing is as captivating as the dark series. I have never recommended a book so much in my life! Buy it and you will NOT regret it!

When I first read this I thought that it was another vampire knock-off, but when I read this book I totally changed my mind, it's the complete opposite, it's more about the actual form before vampires. I got completely into the series and it's one of my favorites. Christine Feehan opened a door to a whole new world of reading and I would suggest these books to anyone!

This was one of the best books i have read. The plot was well worded,and involved.
