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.

A little drawn out....

It was OK, but was longer than it needed to be. I was looking forward to Zacarias' story, but his story was drawn out, a lot of repeated dialogue. The story made you feel a little like you rewound the MP3 player because you heard the same story line numberous times. Maybe there is a minimum on pages/hours required by the publisher to account for the repeated information. The book could have been maybe 5 hours shorter. I have been a long time fan of the Dark Series, Drake Sisters, and Ghostwalkers, but I am starting to see a trend of the books becoming drawn out. I would like to see more interaction with the other Carpathian's like in previous stories, this would better fill the space than the repetitive lines.

Ugggghhhhhhh on and on about the some ole...!

I cant believe this over descriptive drivel was published. I am disappointed I wished I save my credit for something better. No action whatsoever, just stagnate and boring. I really hate to say this but Christine Feehan needs to hang it up on the dark series, if all her books going to be run on sentences. I hate to say this though, the Narrators are absolutely awesome, hence the 5 stars for performance.

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!!

The scary one finally falls.

Finally,Zacarius' story is told. I felt this was a little bit too long in the tooth, plot wise but still a good story. Margarita was the stronger character and a delight. Zacarius was still his arrogant self but Margarita was more than a match for him. If you are a true Feehan fan you will like this addition to the series.

I loved my first Audible book

I loved my first audible book even if I don't love the book I listened too.I wanted there to be more interaction between him and his brothers The whole thing about him only seeing color when they are connected was different.I liked that she made the characters flawed.I was looking for a little more out of this book but as always i'm looking forward to the next one and I hope to be surprised after all these book are not cheap and refunds are not availible

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.

I think, it should'v been shorter & more exciting

I do love the Dark Series, and I own all of it. This book Dark Predator, the main character talk to himself to much at some point I start to fast forward to pass what he is saying to himself or thinking for that matter.

I think that Ms. Feehan should'v of made it shorted story and more exciting than that.
