TITLE: Wicked Bite
SERIES #: Night Rebel #2
CHARACTERS: Ian & Veritas
AUTHOR: Jeaniene Frost
PUBLICATION DATE: January 28.2020
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the newest Night Rebel novel, set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress world, beautiful, daring vampire Veritas risks all to protect Ian…
Some promises are meant to be broken…
Veritas spent most of her life as a vampire Law Guardian. Now, she’s about to break every rule by secretly hunting down the dark souls that were freed in order to save Ian. But the risks are high. For if she gets caught, she could lose her job. And catching the sinister creatures might cost Veritas her own life.
Some vows are forever…
Ian’s memories might be fragmented, but this master vampire isn’t about to be left behind by the woman who entranced him, bound herself to him, and then disappeared. So what if demons, other Law Guardians, and dangerous, otherworldly forces stand against them? Come hell or high water, Ian intends to remind Veritas of the burning passion between them, because she is the only person seared on his mind–and his soul.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Ian is back and he is pissed!!
A mad Ian is not something you want to get in the way of. Not even his best mate Bones (sigh… Bones) can stop Ian from his mission.
The mission you ask?
To find his wife of course and ask her why the bloody hell she has been hiding from him.

Another great book from Jeaniene Frost!!!! Ian and Veritas story is great. I love that we are finally seeing another side of Ian that we all knew was there hiding under his tough guy façade. If you enjoyed Shades of Wicked (bk1) you will love Wicked Bite!! And we get a lot of camoes from some of our favorite Night Huntress characters, think Cat, Bones, Vlad, Lelia, and Mencheres.

Can’t wait to see what is next!!!!!

Kelly reviews Shades Of Wicked by Jeaniene Frost

TITLE: Shades of Wicked
SERIES #: Night Rebel #1
CHARACTERS: Ian & Verita
AUTHOR: Jeaniene Frost
PUBLICATION DATE: October 30, 2018
ORDER LINKS: Kindle | Amazon | Audible | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In this thrilling new Night Rebel series set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress world, sexy and ruthless vampire Ian finally meets his match!
The Rule Breaker
Master vampire Ian is unrepentant, shameless…and every shade of wicked. He’s made one too many enemies in his two centuries of existence, including Dagon, a demon who now lays claim to his soul. Ian’s only chance to escape Dagon is to join forces with a Law Guardian, but he’s never been able to abide by the rules for long.
The Law Maker
Veritas’ normal role is police, judge and jury to reprobates like Ian. But she has her own ax to grind with Dagon, so if she can use Ian as bait…well, all’s fair in law and war. As they scour supernatural hotspots to perfect their trap, Veritas soon realizes Ian’s devil-may-care, roguish image hides something much more powerful. And Ian discovers that Veritas has shocking secrets of her own. As they’re drawn to each other with a passion as intense as their peril, either love or justice will prevail. But each will have devastating consequences

REVIEW:
FINALLY Ian’s story!!!

Shades of Wicked pick up where we left off in Into the Fire with Ian being branded by Dagon and only has a short period of time before he has to give his life as he knows it up. So what does Ian do? Well of course he goes and whores it up, pushes his friends and family away and wait for the end.

Veritas knows the key to ridding the world of Dagon involves Ian. But she knows that Ian is not going to be easy to convince to help her, he is not really the “here let me help you kind”. But she has to try!!!

We have waited years and years for this day!!! From the first time we were introduced to Ian I was in love!! I know there had to be so much more this bad boy vampire. And boy was I right!! I don’t want to write to much because I am afraid I will give away some spoilers and you all know that I try to be spoiler free!!

As I read the last sentence of this book I was tempted to write to Ms. Frost to find out how progress on book 2 is going. But I will be a good reader and try to patiently wait for more Ian & Verita!!! I think the waiting might kill me…..

Favorite line: “I saw the real you, and every time I did, I knew you were mine.”

Kelly reviews Into The Fire by Jeaniene Frost

TITLE: Into The Fire
SERIES #: Night Prince#4
CHARACTERS: Vlad & Leila
AUTHOR: Jeaniene Frost
PUBLICATION DATE: February 28, 2017
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | Audible | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In the explosive finale to New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost’s Night Prince series, Vlad is in danger of losing his bride to an enemy whose powers might prove greater than the Prince of Vampires….

In the wrong hands, love can be a deadly weapon.

For nearly six hundred years, Vlad Tepesh cared for nothing, so he had nothing to lose. His brutal reputation ensured that all but the most foolhardy stayed away. Now falling in love with Leila has put him at the mercy of his passions. And one adversary has found a devastating way to use Vlad’s new bride against him.

A powerful spell links Leila to the necromancer Mircea. If he suffers or dies, so does she. Magic is forbidden to vampires, so Vlad and Leila enlist an unlikely guide as they search for a way to break the spell. But an ancient enemy lies in wait, capable of turning Vlad and Leila’s closest friends against them…and finally tearing the lovers apart forever.

REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts Let’s start by saying VLAD!!!! I could just stop right there with this review and everyone would be happy. Because, well VLAD!!! I mean come on who doesn’t love this guy? Well maybe not his enemies or anyone that pisses him off or looks at Leila wrong or well pretty much anyone outside of his tiny little bubble of important people. But still it is VLAD!!! So we will just look past all the rest of that.
I really enjoyed this last book in Vlad & Leila’s series (although I can always hold out hope that there will be more. Just like I have not given up on more Cat & Bones). In Into the Fire we get to see Vlad at his best and worst. We learn a WHOLE lot more about Leila and her abilities. We also get a few cameo’s of one of our favorite English bachelor vampires. 😀
While Ms. Frost said that this is the last book in Vlad & Leila’s series I felt that there are a lot of unanswered questions. I don’t want to say what those questions are for fear of giving away anything important. But I hope that this means that we have not seen the last of Dracula and his bride!
If you have read book 1-3 you will really enjoy this final book. If you have not started this series yet. You really need to read this series in order (at least the Vlad books, but I would suggest reading the whole Night Huntress Universe. I really can’t wait to see what is next in this world.

Kelly reviews One Grave At A Time by Jeaniene Frost

TITLE: One Grave At A Time
SERIES #: Night Huntress #6
CHARACTERS: Cat & Bones
AUTHOR: Jeaniene Frost
PUBLICATION DATE: Aug 30, 2011
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Having narrowly averted an (under)world war, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans’ voodoo queen just keeps on giving-leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit.

REVIEW:
Cat is still having some after effects from her involvement in the ghouls vs vampire war. The war might be over and it might look like things are quieting down for Cat & Bones, but that is far from reality. Cat is asked to help hunt down a ghost who likes to kill. This killer might prove to be the trickiest yet and how far is Cat willing to go to save his next victims?

This was not my favorite Cat & Bones book. But I am guessing that this book was intended as a build up to the next book. None the less any time with Cat, Bones and their friends is always worth the trip.

Kelly reviews Bound By Flame by Jeaniene Frost

TITLE: Bound by Flame
SERIES #: Night Prince #3
CHARACTERS: Vlad & Leila
AUTHOR: Jeaniene Frost
PUBLICATION DATE: January 27, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Play with fire, pay the price.

Leila’s years on the carnie circuit were certainly an education. What she didn’t learn: how to be a vampire, or how to be married to the most famous vampire of them all. Adjusting to both has Leila teetering on a knife edge between passion and peril, and now the real danger is about to begin…

Vlad must battle with a centuries-old enemy whose reach stretches across continents and whose strength equals his own. It isn’t like Vlad to feel fear, but he does…for Leila, because his enemy knows she is Vlad’s greatest weakness. As friend and foe alike align against him—and his overprotectiveness drives Leila away—Vlad’s love for his new bride could be the very thing that dooms them both

REVIEW:
WOW!!!!
Being back in Vlad’s world is always a hair raising adventure. The beginning of this book was gut wrenching and heart breaking. And I had a very difficult time with parts of the story, until…… Well I can’t tell you that it would ruining the story for you.
Vlad is just as deadly and dreamy as always. Leila is amazing and tough as always. Vlad & Leila are a force that no one should ever mess with. There are so many ups and downs that I didn’t know where, how or who was going to make it out alive. There were quite a few surprises along the way too. Some were good, some not so much and some made you wonder is some of the secondary characters will get stories.
Loved this book. Love this world. Love Vlad & Leila. Love Ms. Frost and her storytelling abilities. Only thing I hate? Is having to wait until next year to get the fourth and final book in this series.
If you are a fan of Ms. Frost you will love this book. If you are new to this series. I would suggest reading Cat & Bones series first. But you could start with Once Burned (book one in the Night Prince series.

Jeaniene Frost’s Night Prince Series

Once Burned

Night Prince #1

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.

*****

Twice Tempted

Night Prince #2

Dating the Prince of Darkness has its challenges…

Leila’s psychic abilities have been failing her, and now she isn’t sure what the future holds. If that weren’t enough, her lover, Vlad, has been acting distant. Though Leila is a mere mortal, she’s also a modern woman who refuses to accept the cold shoulder treatment forever–especially from the darkly handsome vampire who still won’t admit that he loves her.

Like choosing between eternal love and a loveless eternity…

Soon circumstances send Leila back to the carnival circuit, where tragedy strikes. And when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer who may be closer than she realizes, Leila must decide who to trust– the fiery vampire who arouses her passions like no other or the tortured knight who longs to be more than a friend? With danger stalking her every step of the way, all it takes is one wrong move to damn her for eternity.
