female. From the moment their minds touch, Raven and Mikhail form a connection.
But
there are those who incorrectly view all Carpathians as vampires, and are

my Thoughts (review)
what I’ve gotten is that
this series is about a group of vampires, though they aren’t really the ones of
old ledgens. These ones are more with the earth, more animal, yes, powerful,
yes, and can do lots of things that vampires are meant to. But still they
aren’t.
Anyway, so the breed is
drying out, and all the males are have lost their feelings long ago, needing a
life mate to connect them back up again. This series is about them all finding
that said mate, and of course battling against human vampire hunters and the
ones that turn into the vampires that everyone wants to see.
That being said, there
Prince (this book) is suffering under the strain of not having his mate, but
wait!? there she is, in his mind. and now, yeah, you got it, he’s obsessed.
Most of this book is done in
being that he’s a vampire, and she doesn’t know it. Honestly it’s confusing and
even after he drinks her blood and everything she still doesn’t get it. Not
until near the end when all is been revealed and she’s then put in more danger
and... Well, yeah, you can sorta see that it didn’t interest me. Give me a book
that doesn’t start off the same way. A lonely prince and his fated mate. I
understand that it’s the way things are, what the public wants and it’s not Feehan’s fault, mostly because the ones
that I have read where written after hers, but still....
I like her vampires though,
like the hunters, and the world. Liked that the males went crazy if they didn’t
have their female. I get that as a great series especially since there
romances, what’s not to get, torment and on the edge of crazy only to find a
woman that changes them completely. Most women’s dream. Not really mine, which
is probably why I couldn’t get into the series or more so I just didn’t care
all that much for it.
It was still a good book,
even if it confused me more than anything.
