Product Description:
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...WOULD SHE FIND MAGIC Young Savannah Dubrinsky was a mistress of illusion, a world-famous magician capable of mesmerizing millions. But there was one--Gregori, the Dark One--who held her in terrifying thrall. Whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality sent shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine. With a dark magic all his own, Gregori--the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males--whispered in Savannah's mind that he was her destiny. That she had been born to save his immortal soul. And now, here in New Orleans, the hour had finally come to claim her. To make her completely his. In a ritual as old as time . . . and as inescapable as eternity.

I started this series from the beginning and enjoyed all of them. i was intrigued by Gregori when he was very first mentioned in Dark Prince. So i was eager to read his story. what a snooze fest it turned out to be.
First of all, i didn't care for all the Old-World style language. I understand Gregori's old and all that but the constant lack of contractions in the dialogue became cumbersome after a while. Second of all, and let me say the story started out promising action-wise, everything came to a screeching halt by the second chapter. The author goes on and on and on with the same monologue over and over. Gregori's the dark one, everyone fears him, he's always alone, Savannah wants her independence, she's afraid of Gregori, yadda, yadda, blah blah.... this goes on for about the subsequent hundred pages and i found myself skipping entire pages to get to some meaningful conversation or maybe...i don't know... action maybe?
Then there's all the repetitive descriptions. Savannah's violet eyes, Gregori's molten gaze, savannah's body quivers every time he's near. MS. Feehan needs to pick up a thesaurus and find a more inventive way of describing her characters or maybe not try to drum the same point in our heads page after page.
Like i said, i did enjoy the very first three books but now i'm seriously considering whether or not to even read any more in this series. If you're looking for a good vamp romance try Lynsay Sands or Erin McCarthy. they really now how to write witty, sexy males that aren't monotonous.

This book was so boring I actualy found myself skipping pages. There is little to no plot beyond getting the two mains in bed, and once they are there Gregori spends most of the time lecturing Savannah on the fact that he knows best and she needs to do as she's told. Savannah pouts and whines and ends up following orders while telling him she's not always going to do so.
I was also disturbed by the very first "love scene." I use the term loosely because it read more like a rape sequence than very first time lovers. She is coerced into the bed, her mind manipulated and controlled, then she is violently used.
The villians finally make a real showing after half a book of Gregori's bossing, mind control and, at one point, taking control of Savannah's body to force her to do what he told her. The "action" there is still weak, with Savannah interrupting Gregori during action sequences via telepathy to remind him that she doesn't like having to sit at home and wait.
While I know she didn't compose it, the back cover blurb is also deceptive. It says the story is set in New Orleans, while they don't get to NO until more than halfway through the book, and it makes it sound like the story is about them getting to the "claiming the lifemate" marriage ritual, which actually takes place very early in the book. The book isn't about getting to the marriage, it's about them nagging each other and him forcing her to give in to him in all things. I think the back-cover writers were also at a loss to find the plot.
I'm very dissappointed with this book. I've read Feehan's other series and know she can write strong, alpha males who don't resort to this kind of abusive control of a woman. She knows how to write engaging and intriguing men and women. She knows how to write action so intense the reader leaves sweaty fingerprints on every page. None of that is evident in "Dark Magic." I think the one star I gave it is generous, but no stars wasn't an option.

This novel is hilarious. Savannah puts Gregori through hell and he deserves it. He is too serious all the time and needs to take a chill pill and Savannah nearly overdoses him. The story is well developed and well written. This was nicely executed novel.
Write on, read on

It was very good. I enjoyed reading it, but of course I love reading Christine Feehan's books

I liked how this product (and most of my other ones) comes before the estimated arrival date. I think that it is advertised on amazon efficiently. I really like how you are able to see and read little sections of the book instead of just buying the book blinded.
