Books on Sale: Dark Prince by Christine Feehan & More

RECOMMENDED:  Dark Prince by Christine Feehan is $1.99 and this is the first book in Feehan’s very much amazing Carpathian series. $1.99 is a terrific price if you’ve never read it but Be Ye Warned: crack is within these pages. Sarah reviewed this edition in 2011 and gave it a C+, but even though she could identify the problematic parts and disliked them, she couldn’t stop reading. She also admits to reading it six-plus times:

Dark Prince was the first of these types of books that I read, and I am still somewhat baffled as to why I find it so fascinating, even in a larger edition, in a hardcover, for the third or fourth time. I can only surmise that a book like this, something that was so new, so powerful and so different, even after it’s been imitated countless times, doesn’t diminish with time. The powerful innovation of the forerunner of a genre doesn’t lose it’s effect. At least, it doesn’t on me.

If you’ve never read the Carpathians, clear your schedule and enjoy the crack.
