Once Burned by Jeaniene FrostMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having met Vlad before in the Night Huntress Series, I was really excited that he would be getting his very own book.
Once Burned the 1st book in the Night Prince Series begins when Vlad rescues Leila, whose gifts may be a way that vampires could take him down.
He takes her to his castle in Romania, where he promises to protect her and also to give her the real story of Vlad aka Dracula……
The story is told by Leila’s POV – transformed instead of being killed when she touched a power line, she’s left with a gift of her right hand sending bolts of electricity to anyone she touches.
And guess what???
Not only does she meet someone who is not “zapped” by her lighting right hand…but he’s damn gorgeous and hot…..
Sparks fly when they are near each other – Leila is totally besotted….
…..she’s so totally into Vlad….
Vlad is totally obsessed with Leila….for the first time in thousands of years, he has found someone that touched something in him that he thought he had lost….but still, he holds back……
He’s faced with so many demons from his past and enemies who want nothing else but to destroy him. He can’t let himself be distracted by someone like Leila.
I really liked this story and finding out Vlad’s history and learning more about the person he is.
Leila was an interesting character. A lot of issues in her life and liked seeing her facing them and coming through a stronger person. I actually liked her a lot!!!
Loved the interaction between Vlad & Leila and the secondary characters…most of all…Cat & Bones…swoonnnnnnnnnnn!!!
The story ended pretty suddenly and I suppose one could say that the epilogue leaves us with a somewhat cliffhanger…but knowing that we are going to get more of Vlad and Leila….that was enough for me.
Can’t wait for book #2.
