Description:
In the wrong hands, love can be a deadly weapon.
For nearly six hundred 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.
Review:
Into the Fire by Jeaniene Frost is the 4th and final book in her wonderful Night Prince series. I have been a big fan of Frost since the beginning of the Night Huntress, which had one of my favorite couples, Cat & Bones. I have been enjoying the Night Prince series, which features Vlad (Dracula) and Leila, who has her own unique electrical powers. This is a fun series, always exciting, with a great couple and wonderful secondary characters, many of whom we met in the Night Hunteress series.
Vlad and Leila are now married, but trouble always follows Vlad. In this story, Leila is living with an ancient spell that binds her to the necromancer, Mircea. Whatever pain either endures, the other will also feel it, even to the point if one dies, so does the other. Right from the start of this story, Leila is hit with terrible bloodied attacks, as someone is making Micrea suffer. Just when you think we will lose Leila, the attack stops and Vlad manages to get her healed. But this is only beginning, as the true reason of the attacks is to use Leila to get to Vlad.
What follows is a thrilling adventure with Vlad, Leila, Mencheres, Ian, Maximus and Marty trying to find out where the powerful necromancers are hiding and torturing Micrea. Danger is at every stop along the way, which was wildly exciting, and tense, with Leila suffering the most. Vlad has to make a decision to save Leila’s life, but at a horrible cost. What will Vlad do?
In trying to find out how to break the spell, Leila will also learn more about her ancestors, as well as the truth about her powers. Many of the questions we had about her powers were answered very well in this book by Frost. Leila turned out to be a fantastic heroine that will do anything to help save the man she loves. Her growth in this book was phenomenal, and the love between her and Vlad was emotional and beautiful to watch. Very well done.
Ian played a big part in this book, and he was as usual fun to listen to. As the story races to the finish, there is more to tell about Ian that has us clamoring for more. I am happy to say the Jeaniene will be doing a news series based on Ian and another character that we want to know more about. I can’t wait for this one.
Into the Fire was a fabulous story, filled with nonstop action, edge of your seat suspense, bad villans, and characters that are great. I loved Vlad and Leila together; loved seeing Mencheres, and was thrilled with how this story played out. Thank you again, Jeaniene Frost for another wonderful series; I look forward to what you have for us next.
