About this listen

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Christine Feehan revisits and expands her classic novella Dark Descent, bringing to breathtaking new life her story of an immortal Carpathian hunter, a beautiful adventurer, and their dangerous journey toward an unforeseen destiny and an undying love.

In a cave of mystery and wonder deep in the Carpathian Mountains, bodyguard Joie Sanders encounters a most remarkable being. Proud, strong, immortal, he is called Traian - an ageless hunter locked in a life-and-death battle with enemy vampires - and he will be her salvation in a labyrinth protected by the ingenious traps of a mysterious ancient race. What awaits them in the darkness is not known, and each step could be their last - as their destined path leads them toward a fiery passion that will illuminate the perilous dark night.

Also includes the previously published Carpathian short story Dark Dream.

2 MORE IN AN INCREDIBLE SERIES

The Dark Series by Christine Feehan is a storyline that grabs you and holds your attention from Book 1 on. I highly recommend each and everyone of them. This is a book about an ancient Carpathian hunter and his life mate. Carpathians are a species with incredible abilities and they hunt vampires. I really don't want to spoil your read. I would suggest that you read them in order starting with Dark Prince.

Glaring Mistakes but great story

I own several hundred audiobooks I purchased here on audible.com as well as other locations. And since im a repeat listener to this series I feel I can give a fair and balanced review. Both of the stories here were originally novellas but were expanded by Christine Feehan. Ready for the Huge mistake in this book by the reader? In book one Dark prince we learn that Raven is an American and that comes with an American accent.however in this reading while the Narrator does a superb job with the reading and voices of the carpathian’s with a old world pronunciation.Accents, etc. she also mistakenly assigns raven a European accent as well, which isn’t correct. If audiobook’s are to be produced and sold to the fans of the books that purchase them,then they should at a minimum make a effort to get the characters in the books correct. Overall I gave this book a 5 star rating,but one star on the performance and a 5 star rating on the story. While audiobook publishers are in business to make a profit and I can understand that. They shouldn’t sacrifice the story narration just to get a book out to the public. With all this being said this is a great audiobook and well worth the purchase

Dark Nights Books 6.5 and 9.5

Dark Descent.
I'm happily getting caught up on the Carpathians after a long break, and I'm enjoying the ride. The Carpathians have such a complex folklore foundation, and I like seeing it unfold in each book. While I wouldn't like some aspects of being a Carpathian lifemate, there is a whole lot to appeal as well. They really are delicious heroes. I think that this one might be one of my favorites. I loved Joie and Traian as characters, and Joie's siblings Gabrielle and Jubal definitely add to the appeal of this novel. Gary Sanders (who becomes a friend and ally to the Carpathians) has a cameo, and it was fun to see this adorable nerd again. Joie is a kickbutt heroine in her own right, a great match with Traian.
This book is actually quite horrific. The vampires are scary and downright disturbing and disgusting. They give an ugly visual picture to creepy crawly. While Traian is one of the most formidable Carpathian warriors and hunters, he has his hands full when he gets caught in the middle of a nest of master vampires who have formed an alliance. Joie forms a mental bond with Traian and that bond causes her to track him down to the ice caves in the Carpathian mountains. In the process, the Sanders discover a long lost familial relationship to the secretive mages.
I loved how the Carpathian universe is expanding to other species. The mage aspect of the story is fun. Like many of Feehan's works, this book reads like an exciting movie. The battles with the vampires would have me quaking in my books on a big movie screen. But at the same time, they were highly exciting.
I'm pretty into Jubal. I'm wondering if he'll have a story (fingers crossed). It looks like Dark Promises is about Gary and Gabrielle. I hoping that Jubal will have a storyline in this book. He's a character I definitely connected with.
For a short novel, this packed an exciting punch! I read this out of the Dark Nights ebook and I'll read Dark Dream next.

Dark Dream
This is a meaty little short story. It definitely has an insta-love vibe, I think most out of all the Carpathian novels. But the story has a lot to offer despite that. Falcon is one of the original Carpathian warriors sent out by the previous Prince Vladimir, which means he's at least a thousand years old. It's amazing that he's held onto his honor and Carpathian sense of ethics and not turned vampire. I like to think that the fact that Sara was out there in the future was one of the reasons he didn't give in, but he's very, very close to turning when he senses his Lifemate. Sara has been stalked by a vampire who killed her whole family for fifteen years. She's stayed one step ahead of him, traveling the globe and helping orphaned children. She meets Falcon and he realizes that she's his lifemate. She realizes that he's the male she's been in love with since she found his journal on one of her archaeologist parent's digs. The romance part is the easy part. The difficult part is keeping Sara safe from the vampire.
This book is full of action and some horror elements with the despicable vampire and his zombie-like human servants. While I like the romance aspects, I find the whole Carpathian culture thing very interesting. It was great to touch base with with Mikhail and Raven and Jacques and Shea. Jacques is a lot more stable than he once was. He's definitely benefited from having a lifemate in Shea. I read this after reading Dark Descent, out of the Dark Nights book. Feehan is developing the whole storyline about the Carpathians trying to find a reason for their infertility and infant mortality, and slowly but surely recruiting assets in their cause. Gary shows up briefly, and it's making me excited to read Dark Promises.
It is amazing novella and with very interesting backgrounds of the forml prince of the Carpathian race.

I wish narrators would research

I really wish narrators would research. Shea may be Irish but she's from the United States. Raven is also American. I can understand acquiring an accent after living in an area for awhile but come on. I still firmly believe the dark series should either be narrated by both male and female or my male narrators.

Great story!

I love the plot of this book. The reading of it was perfect until she voiced Raven. Raven is an American but she made her sound like Dracula. Shea was voiced as Irish but the reader ruined Raven for me with that accent! Why??

Great short story

Where to start? I’m intrigued and disappointed with this book. I didn’t know “Dark Descent” so I can’t compare, but I think the author could have explores a little more the Sanders’s family and the cavern since the story begans there… what was that place? Who lived there? Who really is Joie’s parents? Who is the real powerful master’s vampire who threats Them and commanded so many powerful vampires? All this questions were not answered… It’s unfair! However, the story is amazing… very well written and with a good narrative.
