Reviews – Bound by Flames & Into the Fire by Jeaniene Frost

I had such a good time with this book!  I recently re-read the first two books in the Night Prince series.  Even though I loved those first two books the first time around, I never got around to picking up this book until now.  I went into this book with high expectations and I ended up loving it just as much as I had hoped that I would. 

Leila and Vlad can’t seem to catch a break.  Leila finds herself in more danger than she could have imagined in this installment and my heart broke for both her and Vlad.  She finds an ally in a surprising place.  I was really worried about how things would work out for everyone.  Vlad definitely had his hands full and it was fun watching him fight to keep those he cared about safe.  

Tavia Gilbert did a fantastic job with the narration in this book.  There was a lot of emotion and excitement in this story and I thought that she did an excellent job of portraying those emotions in her reading.  I love the consistency of the different character voices.  I know that her narration added to my overall enjoyment of this story.

I would highly recommend this series to others.  This is definitely a series that should be read in order since each book picks up shortly after the events in the previous installments.  It has been fun to watch Vlad and Leila grow together and I cannot wait to read the next installment.

In the explosive finale to New York Times best-selling 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 600 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.

This was an excellent book!  After finishing the third book in the Night Prince series, I was really eager to see how things would wrap up in this final installment.  Vlad has been a favorite character of mine ever since he made an appearance in the Night Huntress series and I have been having a great time seeing him in the lead role.  I had a great time with this book.

Leila finds that she is still in danger because of a powerful spell that links her to a necromancer.  Vlad is fearful of losing her and asks for help from his friends.  I had a great time seeing everyone working together in this book.  I especially had a good time seeing Ian play a pivotal role in this story.  This installment had all of the action and excitement that I hoped to see.  I also really enjoyed seeing just how much Vlad and Leila care for each other at this point in their relationship.  

Tavia Gilbert did a fantastic job with the narration.  This book has a fairly large cast of characters and I love that each character has a very distinctive voice.  She added a lot of emotion and excitement into her narration.  I really enjoyed her performance and think that it added to my overall enjoyment of the book.

I would highly recommend this series to others.  This is a series that really does need to be read in order since each book builds on the previous installments.  I had such a great time with this group of characters and cannot wait to read more books set in this world.
