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.

The Story:
I am a huge fan of Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Series, so my excitement over the release of Once Burned was over the top! Vlad Tepesh is one of my favorite characters. He is, very literally, smoldering hot! Thankfully, Once Burned did NOT disappoint. This book was an amazing addition to the Night Huntress world. I love Leila's character, and she is beyond perfect for Vlad. She doesn't put up with his arrogance and puts him in his place really quick. Vlad is an extremely powerful vampire, but Leila has a few tricks at hand. Once Burned is loaded with the violence and action that you expect from Frost's novels, and the romance scenes mingled throughout are...hot. For fans of the Night Huntress Series, think Chapter 32! The ending leaves you at a great cliffhanger, and when it was over I was already craving more. I cannot wait to find out what happens next for Vlad and Leila. I would love to see this series drawn out as long as Night Huntress.
The Narration:
Tavia Gilbert does the narration for all of the Night Huntress and Night World books, and they are all wonderfully done, so I was thrilled to see she was back to narrate Once Burned. Her accents are beautifully done, as usual. She is one of the most emotionally powerful narrators I've listened to. During some scenes she had me blushing and I can't help but wonder how in the world she manages it with a straight face. Tavia Gilbert is a narrator that takes what would otherwise be a great book and makes it truly amazing.
