She's a mortal with dark powers...
After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...
He's the Prince of Night...
Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him—a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.
After I read the Night Huntress series, I was kinda afraid to read this book. I mean, what could be more awesome and fantastic than Cat and Bones? Apparently, Vlad and Leila. This book was great. It had me laughing, it had me squirming in my seat from the heat, and it even brought a few tears to my eyes. I can't wait to read the next book. I'm sort of afraid to say this, but I would rather have Vlad and Leila than Cat and Bones. Maybe it's because I kind of had enough of them after seven books that kind of have the same structure. Or could it be because Vlad is just way more sigh-worthy than Bones?
But anyhow. So question. If you combine sassinesss, hotness and badassness, and put in a dash of adventure and mystery, what do you get? Once Burned of course! Instead of giving us an awesome romance, or an awesome action-packed book, Jeaniene Frost gave us both. And oh, somehow she managed to give us humor too. I swear, Leila had me laughing my ass off more times than I'd like to admit. She was really great, and not only because she had humor. Leila was so freaking strong, and that too with her past and her life the last few years. She was just a-freaking-mazing. And Vlad was just, well, Vlad.
In true Jeaniene Frost fashion, this book stole my heart, and maybe my ovaries. Holy hell, is it me or did it get way too hot in my room when reading the book? I swear, she writes the steamiest bedroom scenes. My ovaries are certainly happy. Not complaining at all. Nuh-uh. My life is complete. What more could I want from a book than this?
So what are you waiting for? Go start reading Once Burned, or really anything from Jeaniene Frost. I'm going to read the next book.
