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.

Okay

Book would benefit with the addition of a male narrator. Listening to Tavia for female characters was fine, but a sexy deep male voice would have made it more worthwhile; didn’t hold my attention like it should. The storyline was fine, just not exciting.

Strong female lead

It’s nice to have a book with a female is not always need of being rescued. There is action in the plot and she gets her self in trouble but it’s also able to get herself out of trouble.

OH my, Vlad was worth the wait!

I have been waiting for this book to come out. I have loved all the Cat and Bones books as well as the other characters stories so I knew Vlad's story would be good. Frost did not disappoint. I think this series could become as good as Cat and Bones series. I definitely will look forward to seeing how Vlad's romance will progress. He needs a good woman and I think these two will create a good series.

Tavia Gilbert is one of my favorite narrators and I was so glad to see her continue with this new series. It is nice to keep the same narrator since you are used to the voices she has created for the characters.

HOT, EXCITING and Left you wanting more, more, more. The only bad part is the wait for the next book. Totally credit worthy. I do recommend you start at the beginning of the Cat and Bones Series so you can get to know all the characters, including Vlad.

WOWEE - IT TICKS ALL THE BOXES

Love Jeaniene Frost's books - they're an automatic download for me. No doubt this is the start of another fantastic series. I loved Vlad and can't wait for the storyline to develop more. I couldn't stop listening to this it was just so yummy - it had everything you'd expect from JF's books.

What a great combination - brilliant writing and awesome narration - the perfect union.


Well worth the credit.

Vlad is Smokin' Hot...

If you could sum up Once Burned in three words, what would they be?

Sexy, daring, hot.

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

Tavia does a great job with this book. She also narrates the "Night Huntress" series which goes along with this book and she does a fantastic job with the entire series.

Any additional comments?

Another hit from Jeaniene Frost. Listen to the "Night Huntress" series before listening to this book and it will make more sense to you.

WOW!

Would you consider the audio edition of Once Burned to be better than the print version?

Well my only critique would be that I felt it was being read too fast.

What did you like best about this story?

The long vampire story was intertwined with modern day....very well done.

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

I really liked her Vald voice

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Lela was kind of sacrificed for Vlad's cause

Any additional comments?

when does the next audio book come out? nice distraction from FSOG!

Great book! I luv Vlad!!

I've always liked Vlad from the Night Huntress series and wished I could learn more about him so I was really happy when this book came out. I really like this book and was happy I bought it. The only complaint is that it kinda ends with the story in a bit of a cliffhanger that makes me really wish the next book was coming out sooner.... Other than that I loved it!
