"I really enjoyed this book. I found having a main character that was not completely perfect and not always the typical knight in shining armor refreshing. Although the heroine gets on my nerves sometimes, this is nothing new for me because they always do. This is a great read, however, make sure that you do not start with this book. I recommend reading them in order so that you don't get confused with some of the background complexities or important characters that are not clearly explained. Whether you are a vampire fan or not, you will enjoy this book."
"When I read the first Carpathian novel I thought that was dark. I must say that this is even darker. The hero, Jacques, has been tortured and buried alive for seven years and he has slowly been converted to a monster without speech, thriving on hatred and revenge. He lives to find and kill the humans and the vampire responsible for his confinement but also to find and hurt the woman he sees in his visions. The beautiful read head that dosen´t answer his call for help. After seven years of trials and being hunted in USA, surgeon Shea O´Halloran flees to the lonely Carpathian mountains. She has a rare blood disease and know her father comes from the area, so she decides to do some research. One day she´s compelled to go to a burnt out house and here she finds Jacques.
The first part of the book is about Shea and Jacques and how she takes care of him, how they, even though he can´t talk out loud, finds ways to communicate. They learn to trust each other even though they both got issues. Jacques bigger than most, he is almost on the brink of madness. When the other characters shows up the story picks up speed. It´s very thrilling. You don´t quite know who you can trust. Again, as in the first book, I did find lose ends, and a few things that bugged me so much I had to reread paragraphs. And the males are normally rather bossy but Jacques was almost abusive and that is rather hard to read. But Christine Feehan is very good at writing "on the egde". It´s disturbing but not to much."
"Seven years of nightmares, the pain, the visions of a haunted and tormented man. Surgeon Shea O'Halloran grew used to seeing this man, almost expected him. Jacques Dubrinsky saw a woman, he had lost his connection with his family, but he could see her, he could cause her pain. She was one of them, it was because of her that he was trapped and in so much pain, he wanted to cause her pain. Shea had no way of knowing that the man, the torment, the pain was all real until she went to the Carpathian Mountains to do research. Shea felt drawn to the old burned out house, to the cellar, to the man. Jacques madness and memory loss left him with only his anger, revenge and this strange desire to never leave Shea, she was his only connection to anything other than the pain. She could fix his body if he let her, she wanted to fix his head, his heart, and his soul. Jacques finally realized she was not to blame, but had he pushed her too far, would she ever forgive him for the harsh way he treated her?
Book 2 - Such a harsh seven years for Jacques to endure, the madness could be expected, making him the typical tortured soul hero. He is a brute and Shea is ignorant of any of her connection to him and his race. Took me quite a while to figure out that this story takes place about 25 years after 'Dark Prince'. Still never explained why the only connection that Jacques made during his paralysis was with Shea, across the ocean, I suppose it was a lifemate thing but I was never really sure. This is another good story to add to the depth of the characters of Mikhail, Raven, Gregori, Byron and Aidan but the romance between Jacques and Shea was predictable. I really hope that Jacques mind can return enough to go back to a little of himself from 'Dark Prince', can't wait to see what happens next."
