Once Burned
Jeaniene Frost
Overall: 3/5
Plot and themes: 3/5
Characters: 4/5
Writing style: 3/5
Attention-grabbing: 3/5
I would like to start by begging authors not to do this for their book covers. It just looks like zero thought went into it, I read it anyways but like also please don't. That being said, it's a pretty interesting book. Leila has spent most of her life being ostracized by her family and her peers after a downed power line gave her voltage and psychic abilities. When she gets kidnapped for those abilities, she meets a vampire who helps her out and shows her that they could truly be strengths.
This is about Vlad and Leila- Vlad as in Vlad the Impaler AKA Dracula. It's a funny twist on a classic, he's brutal but also this is a paranormal vampire romance so it's just the right combination. I appreciate Leila cause she's super powerful but also still vulnerable to overloads and weaknesses. Sometimes the writing doesn't totally click, but it's still pretty funny and creative.
I don't have a ton to say on this one because they're so addictive that I've already read three of them. I think it's great if you love vampire romances that are a bit grittier and more adult than anything in YA but with that same kind of humor.
