OK so this is actually the first book in a series of over twenty books. Christine Feehan is a brilliant writer she really is, she has written so many books that I couldn't begin to list them. If you are into the vampire romance genre then this is a good place to start. The Dark series is about a breed of vampires the Carpathian's and while most live in and around Romania some of the books are set in different places around the world. I will be honest here and tell you that each book has the very same theme, as do a lot of vampire novels, vampire needs saving and along comes a woman to save his soul. But with these books there is so much more to enjoy, its the small details Feehan goes into, the different situations and circumstances of each character is what makes these books really enjoyable.
One thing some readers may not like is the fact that the men in these books all have the same macho I am man you are woman attitude going on, in some of the books its tolerable and others it isn't, it will really depend on your personality. What I am trying to say is that there is a hell of a lot of men telling women what to do in these books, the man saying you do want this, the woman saying no I don't only to be told to trust the man as he knows best, and what to you know, the woman does decide that of course the man was right and she did in fact want it! I'm sure a few of you will get my drift on what it is that she will be wanting ;)
So again if you are into the vampire scene then this is a must read, I would be amazed that anyone into this scene hasn't already read or heard about these books. Christine Feehan is an amazing woman and I will happily say I have all of the Dark series and a complete collection from another series she has written, there are a number of different genres Christine writes for so you really should check out her website.
