Dark Prince by Christine Feehan

This is the first book in the 'Dark' series by Christine Feehan. The series is about a race called the Carpathians, who live amongst us in secret. The Carpathians are in touch with nature, sleep in the ground, can shapeshift, live for thousands of years and must drink blood to survive. So what's the difference between them and vampires I hear you ask?!!

Well Carpathians mate for life - they have one 'life mate.' A male of the species loses the ability to see colours or feel emotions until he find his true 'life mate' - who is the light to his dark. Carpathian males who are not fortunate enough to find her eventually get overwhelmed by their dark side and turn into souless vampires with a frenzy for killing (humans and Carpathians alike).

This first book as about the leader of the Carpathians - Prince Mikhail Dubrinsky. He is getting closer to being overwhelmed by the dark side and is lonely a full of despair that his race will die out  due to a lack of Carpathian females.

Raven Whitney is a human with psychic powers, she has used her talents to track down serial killers and is haunted by what she has seen in their minds. Mikhail and Raven's minds connect psychically. He has found his life mate....but she is human! Cue a love story like no other!

Be warned!!! This book is rather saucy!! I was gripped by it and am now starting book 2!! ;-)
