Publisher's summary

All new from the number one New York Times best-selling author.

As brutal as the undead he hunted, Zacarias De La Cruz was a master executioner. Now his stark and savage journey has ended. For his brothers, Zacarias had walked to the edge of madness, but with centuries as a killing machine now left to the past and without a hunt to define him, Zacarias wonders, for the first time in his life, who he really is.

The answer awaits him back home, in Peru, in the betrayal of a woman who is readying her trap, in the vengeance of an old enemy, in the inevitable consequences of a bloody family legacy - and in the deliverance of a lifemate he never could have imagined...

Love in vein: listen to more Carpathian tales in Christine Feehan's Dark Series.

Dark Predator

I love Ms. Feehan's Dark series but this one was a little different . It really kept me on the edge. The life partner was different from the rest as well as the female. I loved it! It was well worth the read! Enjoy!!

More please I love the story

I wish the story would be a little bit longer to say they went to see the brothers and maybe some are pregnant or have babies. I really like the reunion storyline to see all who have kids. The books are great and I love every story

Good. Not Great...

Ok, critiques are not my favorite thing to do unless it's all glowing and perfect, but I feel I need to give prospective readers a good idea what to expect. It makes it easier on both author and publisher when honest, detailed reviews are out there for readers. And this wasn't a horrible book. Far from it! I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I read the ebook in two sittings and enjoyed this audio book for several days (commute to and from work.) With that in mind, and after reading several reviews of both the book and this audio recording, I'll try my best to address problems as well as flashes of brilliance i saw in this book and recording.

THE BOOK: There are the classic Feehan problems that annoy me -- repetition, over explanation, repetition, for all time, repetition... did I mention repetition? THEN there are the classic Feehan brilliances. Great characters, great story, the ability to hook the reader despite any flaws. Depth of characters is a major signature from Ms. Feehan. This book focused mostly on Zacharias, but Margarita's character was explored effectively too. In my opinion, it was balanced pretty well. There was simply more of Zacharias to bring around. Margarita was a simple woman. Not in a bad way either. She was simply as she presented herself. She didn't have nearly as many changes to go through as Zacharias. Having read about the other De la Cruz brothers, I knew Zacharias would be a very complicated character. He had so far to go to dig himself out of the muck, developing his character was going to be a tall task. I think this was done perfectly, and not at the expense of the heroine, Margarita. No, there wasn't a great deal of "action" or fight scenes, though they did exist, but there was other conflict that, for me, was just as engrossing as a good fight scene. As mentioned before, Margarita was exactly what she seemed, but Ms. Feehan gave her a backbone of steel that presented itself when it was least convenient for the hero and that lead to great romantic conflict.

THE NARRATION: I confess, I was a little disappointed in the narration. I really like the voice of Mr. Bergmann, but he his reading was very, very slow and deliberate. The exaggerated pauses at the end of sentences became annoying early on. As the recording continued, either I grew used to them or they lessened. I'm not sure which. I loved his voice so well as Zacharias I really didn't care much after a while. :) The cadance of his reading was a bigger problem. It seemed unnatural at times. Stilted. It contrasted sharply with the female narrator. I really liked the female narrator. Her accent was lovely and authentic. I would have liked to see the narrators mixed as they have been in previous books where if the main POV is the hero's, the male narrator speaks for everything other than any female characters and vice versa. I know others complained about the echo when they were speaking telepathically, but I really liked that. You could easily tell if others around them could hear, just as in a book the text is in italics. I'd really like to see the producers go back to that in any future "Dark" books. Overall, while not perfect, I enjoyed the performance. Definitely worth your credit.

ZACARIAS is scary and hot... I love this Dark book

I loved the story line, loved Marguarita and of course she had to be a little crazy and brave to deal with Zacarias; he being nearly mad, was so off the hook; but I fell for him and at the sametime I was afraid that he would drive Marguarita away or kill her by accident. I had a feeling that Marguarita was his life mate, when he saved her life in book telling Solange's story. I was very entertained by this story and the love making was enthalling...I found myself holding my breath and my body. As in the Solange's story I loved the male and female narrators. I don't know if this the last book in the series, I hope not... I love this dark series and I want see if the Carpathians will defeat all of their enemies and I what to know what happens to the Jaguar women and the Jaguar male Luis...

One of the best in series

Loved the reader voice swapping with viewpoints.

Great plot and storyline.

Dark Prince will always be my favorite, but this one is definitely a close second.

Excellent addtion to the series

Bravo, Christine Feehan you have done it again. The story line was intriguing, entertaining, and held my attention the entire length of the book. An added surprise was that this audio book had two readers. In my opinion both readers did an excellent job. In fact, I just finished the book and have started listening all over again; just to make sure I did not miss anything. LOL.
