Review: Once Burned

Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This book was amazing. I'm disappointed that some people didn't like it. I didn't feel like it was cliche at all. Vlad is so different from Bones, Mencheres, and Shades. Bones is hard but at the same time he doesn't care what people think so he'll do what he wants. Mencheres is like the king so everyone knows they can't touch him because of that. Shades is very classy but he does what he has to do to be a good leader. Vlad knows that he's hard and that everyone fears him. He's got a huge ego but for good reason. After everything he's gone through and done, why shouldn't he have an ego. I love all of these men for different reasons but Bones is still my number one although Vlad comes very close.

Leila was fierce as well because of everything that she's gone through. I was glad that she didn't just give up on everything when it got too hard. She fought hard the urge that she had to be close to Vlad although she never denied that there was something there even though she didn't want there to be. Once she realized that something was bound to happen, she gave in and I was glad.

The plot was really good. There was never a dull moment. Vlad is cold because he has to be. If people started to think that he was getting soft, enemies would think they could attack and his people wouldn't have faith that they were well protected. I know that he's going to keep himself at a distance with Leila for a while but I'm so excited to see where this story goes with the two of them.
