Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
5.0
4.5/5 stars.
Where the hell do I start, because this book was sooo good.
Even as when I pressed the next button in my Kindle knowing it was finished, I wished there was like, an epilogue of an epilogue, because I just didn't want it to end yet. When I progressed over 50%, I thought that was far too close to the end. This would be the second day I've slept later than 1:30 am, thank God it's the holidays for me. xD
It was just such an exciting read. The heart-pounding suspense, the sensual romance...
If I liked Vlad before, I just love him now. His gentleness with Leila, his sheer arrogance...mmm... What's not to love? He made a declaration of not being able to love her, but if I recall, Cat didn't confess she loved Bones straight away, and it makes their relationship more realistic. Personally, I think that he's in love with Leila already, but he just doesn't call it love. Actions speak louder than words, right? ;)
Leila was not kick-ass in the way Cat was kick-ass, but she's... ballsy. She can hold her ground around Vlad. She's able to think rationally in a number of situations a dozen other characters in other books would not be able to pull off with the same calm. She's able to defend herself too! For that, I admire her.
If I have anything at all I disliked about the book, (and believe me, it's hard to find much to dislike about it) I would say it's the ending.. gah.. the ending. Actually, it's REALLY good, but since it's a series, there would naturally be things left unresolved, and the romance-reader in me grumbles. I just simply didn't want it to end. That makes me a little sad, and I didn't want to finish a book a little sad, so that's why I'm knocking half a star off. I'm probably not making any sense, gosh, it's like 2 am now.
It's not a cliffhanger ending, but I wish the release day for the next book was today, because I didn't want to part with the characters just yet (and I really, really want to know what's going to happen. There. I said it. The real reason I knocked half a star off).
So to sum it up, I'm really excited about what's to come for the next book, and hopefully, books to come. It's been such a blast, and I enjoyed every plot twist. Hats off to Ms. Frost. I devoured it and enjoyed every page and to hell with sleep. It was worth every second awake.
