Audiobook Review On Bound By Flames, (Night Prince #3)
Rated it
Vlad must battle with a centuries-old enemy whose reach stretches across continents and whose strength equals his own. It isn't like Vlad to feel fear, but he does . . . for Leila, because his enemy knows she is Vlad's greatest weakness. As friend and foe alike align against him—and his over protectiveness drives Leila away—Vlad's love for his new bride could be the very thing that dooms them both.
Vlad Tepesh is now married...ya. He married the
awesome Leila Dalton, the chick with the cool electric touch thing,
and now she's a vampire also. Double wow. So what does a power couple
like that do in their spare time? Why they go undercover, using
Lelia's psychometry on their enemies. Until Vlad's greatest nemesis
comes back to finish what he started two books ago...dun dun dun!
So it's been a while since I listened to OnceBurned and Twice Tempted, but I do remember how intense
Vlad and Leila's relationship was, or is. The theme that I've started
noticing with vampire relationships like this, ones where the male is
the one that turns his mate, and he's been a vampire for a millennia,
blah blah blah... and we have a dangerous enemy after us is this; the
chick becomes extremely whinny and needy. It gets really annoying,
real fast. Yes, the relationship is new in comparison to how old Vlad
has lived, HOWEVER if she can believe, accept, and integrate herself
into his world, then this means she not only understands what the
fuck is up, but she also has accepted the situation for what it is
and accepted Vlad in all his old fashioned ways and glory as well.
With that being said, I rather enjoyed the story line, but did not
care for Leila's foot stomping toddler tantrums about how Vlad
wouldn't allow her to help and just wanted to sock her away and
protect her, or her annoying ass sister and ungrateful father. The
plot I should have seen coming, and it's simplicity, gave the ending
a rather anticlimactic feeling that left me unsatisfied.
I really do love this author, and her Night
Huntress series, so I don't take saying these words lightly but
Bound by Flames was just “ok” for me. I was really
disappointed, but I will continue this journey and grab the next new
book Into The Fire when it is released in hopes of some redemption
for this series.
Narrator Review
Tavia Gilbert has been narrating this series as
well as the Night Huntress series for Frost from the
beginning. I love Tavia's acting of the books. She does such a great
job and really gets into character! You will never be disappointed in
the quality of a book or entertainment value if Gilbert is the
narrator! ~Narrator Rating 5 Fangs
