Publisher's summary

She's a mortal cursed with dark power....

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: a terrifying ability to channel electricity and to see 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, passion ignites, threatening to consume them. It will take everything they have to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

I'm Team Vlad!

This first book in Jeaniene Frost's new series is just as amazing as I expected. Action, supernatural powers, and intrigue top this book's plot. Add in some hot sex scenes with the ultimate vampire... Vlad, oh Vlad... and the book is scorching! This is a MUST LISTEN if you are a Jeaniene Frost fan!!

Gilbert did a great job with Vlad's accent. She's a talented narrator so I knew it would be well done.

cautiously optimistic

While listening, I thought it felt a little like Sookie Stackhouse, which left me empty at the end of almost every book and ultimately made me wish I'd never started the series. I did like the story, just not some of the angst. but I'm hooked enough to start number 2. wish me luck.

More Please!

I love Vlad in the Cat and Bones series. It was good to see him have his own story. I would love a story with the whole gang, and Ian's reaction to everyone being wife'd up, one of the ladies might stake him. Jeaniene I love your style, no cry-baby females and real vampires; not sparkly soft vampires that eat animals. Keep in up and I'll keep buying!

Loved Vlad's Story

Great start to a character I have waited long to listen to from the Night Huntress series! As always Tavia's delivery was excellent! Action, romance, of course, and excellent new characters introduced. I really like Frankie!

LOVED IT!!

Jeaniene Frost does it again with her latest book. I was happy to hear she devoted a whole book to Vlad. He needed his story to be told. Leila is a very likable character for a human. Those two make one hot couple.

Old friends, Cat, Bones, Mencheres and Kate make a short appearance.

Tavia Gilbert is one of my favorite narrators. You can always tell who is talking. She did a great job with the accents. I've always loved her "Bones" voice.

I gave the story 4 stars only because it left me wanting more. If you love Jeaniene's night huntress series, you'll enjoy this new series as well!

Hope I don't have to wait a year for the next one!!

a good romance story

The story drags a little, but it grabbed my attention once it kicked in. At first the narration kinda put me off, but after a few chapters she grew on me. Just took some getting used to cause she talked kinda fast (seems to slow down after 2 or 3 chapters in).
Leila and Vlad have a good dynamic and the book keeps you wanting more once you reach the end.
