splurts, body splitting mutations or ghastly nightmarish ghouls. No dismembering or stomping on heads to
take down your enemy. Just the will to survive using
an item you never thought in a million years would
be your weapon. I think that’s what I loved about this
game and the series it created, you don’t need to go
overboard with violence to scare the audience, a good

old fashion haunted house is better than a run of the
mill rollercoaster. Replayability is a ‘Yes!’ for this
game as you can unlock new outfits and a different
ending (there is a normal and ‘good’ ending) depending on your actions early on in the story. My pro-tips
for this game are simple; NEVER PLAY AT NIGHT
AND NEVER BEFORE BED!

Dark Prince Review
By Mikki Dugger

Hello everyone and welcome to the book review! My
name is Mikki and I am going to be your attendant
for this flight. This month’s book is “Dark Prince” by
Christine Feehan. Make sure that your seat backs and
tray tables are in the upright and locked position, and
that your seat belts are tight. Here we go.
Mikhail Dubrinsky is a strong, knowledgeable Carpathian prince; the one the people count on. His
kingdom is the Carpathian mountains spanning over
Eastern Europe. He is one of the oldest Carpathians,
his life encompassing hundreds of years. His people
are losing hope, the males turning to the dark side to
satisfy their lust for emotions. The Carpathian people
live their lives, taking the life’s essence from their human prey, rising at night They are respectable, caring
and loving to all around them. They are of the Earth,
masters of Weather and Land. Their psychic abilities
are uncanny. But as the Male of the species ages, he
loses his ability to feel, his ability to love, even his
ability to see in colour. The only thing holding them
steady in the light is their honour. Those that lose that
honour, and murder humans for the adrenaline-filled
blood rush are then Vampire. The only saving grace to
a Carpathian Male is their other half, the light to their
darkness; A Female Carpathian. But so many potential
lifemates are lost during their first days. Mikhail has
tried so hard to find the cure, find the reason, but to
him all hope is lost. He is a failure, and determined
to walk into the dawn, he sets out in the wee hours of
morning.
Raven Whitney is a human psychic from the United
States. She has come to a small village within the

Carpathian mountains to relax and get away from her
latest assignment with law enforcement. They call her
when they cannot find a killer. Her ability to lock onto
a murder, to replay the horrible scenes that unfold,
make her a big asset to the department. The case that
sent her running for peace and solitude was the worst
one she had taken on so far. She must clear her mind,
or go crazy in the depths of chaos. But, as she sits in
her hotel room, she feels the pure agony of someone
and cannot help but reach out to them psychically to
ease their sorrow.
Mikhail hears the voice in his mind, and is overwhelmed by colours, by feelings that he is unused to.
He follows the psychic trail back, the sight he finds
making his mind reel with confusion. The woman
reaching out so daringly is human. But how could this
be? Could this be his lifemate?
This mysterious woman is not the only one that has
come to the village. There are others. Others with dark
intent. They are a society of Vampire Hunters that do
not care about the difference between a vampire and
a Carpathian. Many of them are demented, crazy and
will torture anyone they feel is ‘one of the undead.’
Raven knows their purpose, but will she be able to
help Mikhail save his kind? You have to read the book
to find out.

My Opinion:
When I read the book, I was automatically sucked
