( ) Bound by Flames by Jeaniene Frost Night Prince series #3. Vampire paranormal romance, horror. Leila and Vlad’s love and passion has led to marriage and Leila being a vampire. Neither are innocents and both have a past with enemies. Vlad will do whatever he thinks will keep Leila save including locking her in at home. The both learn that a determined enemy will find a way to destroy them. Leila has been through a lot on the carnie circuit and thought she was prepared for anything. Being held as a hostage to be tortured to do nothing more than torment Vlad, is a test of her inner will. One of the lesser problems is her being starved. I won’t detail more as it’s gruesome and horrific. Fortunately there is someone there that can help to a small extent so that Vlad can find and rescue her from the hands of evil. Way too dark for me. I love the intense writing and world building of this author. This book had me rushing through the bad to get to the happy ending. Whew! 🎧 I listened to a lot of this on audiobook which was riveting! But it’s the same narrator, Tavia Gilbert, so I reverted to thinking I was listening to Cat being tortured rather than Leila. I tried adjusting the speed to change my impression which helped a bit. It wasn’t as bad as I expected after some of the reviews I read (many of which, by the way, gave inaccurate information), but this book is still my least favorite so far in the Night Huntress world. I anticipated not liking it, but for series continuity, I decided to speed-listen to it on audio. So, I listened to it at double the normal speed and rolled my eyes a lot and felt repulsed by how dark and sadistic things got. I’m glad a lot of the violence against Leila was off-camera and not explicitly described, but I still thought it went too far, fast-healing vampire or not. I’m pretty forgiving with how quickly folks fall in love in these things, but I’ve never felt convinced about Vlad’s undying, world-destroying love for Leila, and I’m tired of her getting kidnapped and tortured. I hope the fourth book spares her (and me) from that. I liked the book more post-rescue and Vlad and Leila clearing the air—I loved Cat’s brief appearance—but I’ll be glad when this spin-off is complete. I hope Ian’s books are better! no reviews | add a review
The climactic third novel in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Prince series finds Vlad and his newly turned bride, Leila, at odds with each other--and vulnerable to the one vampire powerful enough to end the Dark Prince's reign . . . 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 . . .
