Dark Predator
Christine Feehan
Berkley, Sep 6 2011, $26.95
ISBN: 9780425241974
Despairing Master Executioner Zacarias De La Cruz believes his time on the planet must end as his two prime goals have occurred. He and his brothers defeated a vampire army and his siblings have found their respective life-mates. After a millennium of war, Zacarias is the last one standing solo and chooses to suicide in the sun before he loses control and goes rogue.
However, he is not allowed death when a Good Samaritan female fails to mind her business by intruding on his death count. He orders her to leave, but this feisty female refuses. Raging Zacarias warns the woman, but she proves even more obstinate than him. When danger mounts, he realizes he has one last mission: to keep this pain in the butt mortal female safe from his enemies.
The ultimate, dark brooding hero stars in this angst laden Carpathian thriller where he meets his life-mate while trying to end his life. The story line is very passive as Christine Feehan focuses on the mental state of a killing machine preparing to die only to be pulled from the jaws of death by the lowest of animals, a human. Thus, the tone of the story lie differs from previous entries like Dark Peril as much of the tale is a journey inside the mind and heart of a darkened soul Carpathian who loathes his savior as much as he loathes himself for desiring his savior. Fascinating, but slow, fans still will appreciate the depths of a male dragged from the abyss by lower food chain species.
