Publisher's summary

There are only two ways a human can cross the gates of Bloodstone Institute: as a familiar to one of the Blueblood vampires who attend the elite school or as a snack.

I'm neither, but I have to get in at all costs. My brother made a big mistake, and now I have to fix it by stealing from the most powerful and cruel vampire to ever come to Bloodstone, Lucca Della Morte. If that wasn't almost suicidal, I need to get it done before the spell concealing my human nature wears off.

But I forget that I'm only pretending to be a vampire. I'm still human and susceptible to Lucca's dangerous allure. His darkness calls to my soul. His savagery makes my blood sing. I'm falling for the dark prince, craving him in a visceral way that's frightening and exciting at the same time.

If he discovers my secret, he'll destroy me. And yet, I can't help wanting to get closer. I never thought I had a death wish until I met him.

Contains mature themes.

Wow! How I Needed This!

What a beautiful surprise "Dark Prince" turned out to be! I was tired of looking for a paranormal romance that fit my reading preferences, and I saw the glowing reviews assigned to "Dark Prince," so I decided to take a chance. I prepared to be disappointed because the mention of a vampire school made me fear that I was entering teenage CW land or a YA experience, but thankfully I was sooo wrong. Ms. Hercules's novel has the perfect mix of plot and sizzle. Personally, I like a deeper plunge into characterization, but that didn't stop me from becoming invested in not only the hero and heroine, but the colorful supporting personalities as well. I was truly entertained by "Dark Prince," and as soon as the sequel comes out on Audible, I will add it to my library.
Another IMPORTANT reason to purchase "Dark Prince" is the deliciously talented Troy Duran. His rich, smooth, professional reading is perfection. I own over 500 Audible titles, and never have I enjoyed a male narrator as much as I did, Troy Duran. In addition to Duran's talents, listeners have the added bonus of the gifted Mindy Kennedy. Mindy's voice is perfectly paired with Duran's because she is expressive and entertaining without affectation. I do hope Michelle Hercules continues to use these amazing narrators in her future works.

Enjoyed Every Bit

I enjoyed every minute of this book. Cliffhanger at the end not so bad. Must read

A must in your library!!!

This is surprised me and feel in love with Luca, the narrators did a fantastic job had me wanting more. This almost felt like a vampire version of fifty shades of gray. Michelle is a fantastic writer and I wish her book didn't end. and a fan and will be searching for more.

Two Thumbs Up....Well Written

If you are looking for a book that is a little steamy with a surprisingly good story line, this book is for you. There were some chapters that I was like omg...get to the point!!! But other than that, the narrators were excellent and it kept my interest the whole book. A must read!!

Great story line.

loved it cant wait to read more in the series. Awesome male narrative so hot.

Interesting series

This is the first book I’ve listened to by this author but the premise sounded interesting so I gave it a chance. I quickly realized I enjoy the writing style as well at the characters that this book introduced, and I am looking forward to continuing the series.

This book was Everthing!

This book spoke to my fantasy side. That pull and push I get from reading and listening to Troy makes it so believable!!

What a great book

This was a very good read with ton of action! Characters to root for and some to hate!

So good!

Omg this was such a good book. I wasn’t sure if it would be, but I was hooked! I thought the narrators were amazing and the story itself was well thought out. The only bummer is the next book doesn’t come to audio until February 9, 21.. sooo long!

Love this Series!!!

I can't wait for the next book in the series. Initially thought this was some high school teenage story, NOPE not at all. I couldn't stop listening, story is exciting, HOT, awesome cast of characters. The writer has plenty of character's to write other books.

The narrator's nailed the voices!!!!!! This is my first Michelle Hercules book, I will be on the look out for more of her books!!!!!

Worth the credit, only hope the writer does not make readers wait forever for book #3 in Audible and please keep the Narrator's, that is soooooo important to have strong voices for male and females characters.
