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 love this series.

I have read this series but hearing it in Audible was an enjoyable experience.

OMG!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would highly recommend this awesome audiobook. This book dragged me in from beginning to end. The narrator the story line everything.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Vlad of course. Who doesn't love a powerful Vampire Alpha male? The way he swoops in and saves Leila is great.

Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first listening to any of Tavia Gilbert’s performances. It was excellent. I went and searched for books narrated by her after listening to this

Any additional comments?

This was my first book by Jeaniene Frost and I am hooked. The plot drew me in from the beginning and there were not any moments when i felt the book dragged. Each moment held a significance

Entertaining from Starr to finish

While I could poke a few holes in the plot, the simple truth is I didn't want to. it was far too much fun to just kick back and let the story transport you to the world of Franky, a young girl still struggling to find her way in society when it's shattered.

Couldn't put it down!

From beginning to end I was completely entranced. Vlad and Layla are intriguing characters who rapidly made a place in my heart.

Excellent

If you like Jeaniene's Night Huntress Series, then you love this. It's in her style, and one of her better books in my opinion. I'm certain there will be more in the series and I look forward to listening to them. The narrator did an excellent job with voices and accents, and the characters were memorable and loveable, with lots of action thrown into the love story.

Fast Paced Start

This promises to be an excellent series. Fast paced story that grabs you from the beginning, interesting characters, wonderful narrator.

I almost thought at the end vald had impregnated because of his powerful aura

Ms. Frost, you have another fan!!

I took a chance on this book and bought it based on reviews of other readers. SO GLAD I DID! I am downloading book 2 as I write this! I really enjoyed all the characters and the strength of the main character. Her spunky attitude and confident nature drug me completely into the story unlike any book I have read recently. Being completely immersed in a book without realizing it was a nice surprise!

Frost does it again!

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Yes, great voices of the different accents!

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed all the books in the Night Huntress World. She is a very strong female character! I look forward to seeing how their relationships and her powers develop in future books.

NICE!

Awesome version of Vlad. One of my all time favorite historical characters.

there are a few things I am uncertain about with this story line, granted I haven't read her other books, but there is little explanation of how vampires are walking around in sun light. I do enjoy that Vampires are not out in the open in this series. I like that they are not your typical mopey, sappy vampires, but vicious killers, and yet can still interact with mortals to some extent. I like the romance in them, since its there, which is always awesome, but not complete total mussy love affairs you find in a lot of vampire novels.
