Bookshelf of Holding :: Once Burned Review

Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost


"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."

Have to say, although I enjoyed reading this book I didn't feel like it held up as well as the Night Huntress series of books. Our main man, Vlad, read Leila's mind 99% of the time, so there was little dialog. Other than that complaint, I enjoyed curling up on the couch to read this book and I'll be running out to buy the next in the series. Like the Night Huntress books it is obvious the next Night Price book will leave off where this started and keep with the same two main characters: Vlad and Leila. This current book, also like the Night Huntress books, didn't have a nice "everything is wrapped up story wise" ending to leave room for the next book. I'll enjoy reading more about Leila giving Vlad a run for his money by refusing to listen :)

Keep Reading!
