5.0 out of 5 stars Fell in love with the Dark One, May 16 2001

This review is from: Dark Magic (Mass Market Paperback)

Gregori (the Dark One) is an "ancient" carpathian with unfathomable power who is on the verge of "turning" into a vampire - he has waited several lifetimes for his lifemate - Savannah Dubrinsky - and has even allowed her an extra 5 yrs before joining w/him - well, Gregori's unbelievable control is about to snap & he must mate w/Savannah now in order for his soul to be saved.

This was a much-awaited story in the series and I was not disappointed - Although not necessary, I find it more enjoyable to read the books in the order they were published as the next carpathian's storyline is somewhat revealed and it helps you to better understand their actions in their own story. Dark Magic is a stunning blend of erotica, magic and suspense.

This review is from: Dark Magic (Mass Market Paperback)

The book started a bit abruptly. It didn't really give you a lot of time to get the know the characters or care about them. I was massively underwhelmed. (if that is a word) I expected BIG in the story about Gregori and I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't terrible, it was just a bit generic.

This review is from: Dark Magic (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the 4th book in the Dark Series by Christine Feehan. Although many books in this particular series can stand on its own, Dark Magic, however, cannot. In order to fully understand Dark Magic, you must read the previous 3 books which are Dark Prince, Dark Desire, and Dark Gold, because Gregori is a very complex character that is extremely well developed which is one of the main reasons that makes this book so great.

This is an overwhelmingly romantic story between the Dark one-Gregori and his lifemate-Savannah-the daughter of the prince Mikhail and Raven. As most of us already know, the male loses their ability to feel after 200 years of living and inevitably become the walking undead-vampires who are ruthless creatures that prey on not only human, but also children and women, unless they are able to find their lifemate who is able to bring light to balance out the darkness within.

Dark Magic tells the tale of Gregori, the dark one-the most powerful one, his power beyond the prince-Mikhail, and Savannah who is born to be his lifemate. Many other dark books, unfortunately, are not romances to me for the relationship between the main characters are unnatural and not well developed. Dark Magic, however, does an excellent job on the love between Gregori and Savannah. I can see the drastic change in Gregori, as he becomes a person with emotion and most of all, love, not what he was for centuries-a stoic stone who has no feelings but only the need to kill. Savannah is truly the light that guides him out of his darkness. I know that many people are disturbed by the raping scene in the beginning, but it wasn't Gregori who did it, it was the beast within him, and even though, he was willing to let Savannah kill him, and gave her a chance to escape. She choose not to let him die, and willingly brings him back to life. As the story develops, so does their love. Their bond is strong, whether physically or emotionally, they are connected as soulmates.

This book is not for everyone, it has many sexual descriptions and violence. But for people who are over the age of 15 or those who are emotionally ready, it is something that should not be missed.

I have read and enjoyed the Carpathian novels in the past, about 5 or 6 of them, but this one truly disgusted me. Read more
