This is a spin off from the Night Huntress
Series. It is also the second of The Dark Prince Trilogy. The first book is
Once Burned. You could read this one without the first, without being too lost,
but I would suggest reading Once Burned first. The first book in The Night
Huntress series is Halfway to the Grave.
I will be honest, I probably would have
not read the next installment but that it is a cliff hanger type ending. At the
end of Once Burned, I had hope Leila would grow up. But I was sadly
disappointed. I had hoped she’d change for the better. No such luck. Leila
still gets on my nerves.
I have like the other women from the Night
Huntress Series and The Night Huntress World spin offs. Cat, Denise, and Kyra, are
well balanced, feeling like real people. Leila seems to be unbalanced to me. At
times, she feels real, like a character should. Relatable even if I haven’t
been in that situation. At times it seems that she is another person entirely.
It’s like Jekyll and Hyde. Leila is the only heroine in a series that has gotten
on my nerves, I want to slap her at times. Is it too much to hope that now she
has transitioned to a vampire that maybe she’ll crush her rose colored glasses,
and stay in reality? I hope so. The next installment will tell.
Overall, an alright story, though at times
it felt a bit too close to Once Burned with a few changes to it. An above
average story, she’s written better. Not a bad read.
