PNR Review: Twice Tempted: A Night Prince Novel Mass Market Paperback

I've finished "Twice Tempted" the 2nd book in her Night Prince series by Jeaniene Frost.

Dating the Prince of Darkness has its challenges

Leila's psychic abilities have been failing her, and now she isn't sure what the future holds. If that weren't enough, her lover Vlad has been acting distant. Though Leila is a mere mortal, she's also a modern woman who refuses to accept the cold shoulder treatment forever -- especially from the darkly handsome vampire who still won't admit that he loves her.

Like choosing between eternal love and a loveless eternity

Soon circumstances send Leila back to the carnival circuit, where tragedy strikes. And when she finds herself in the crosshairs of a killer who may be closer than she realizes, Leila must decide who to trust -- the fiery vampire who arouses her passions like no other or the tortured knight who longs to be more than a friend? With danger stalking her every step of the way, all it takes is one wrong move to damn her for eternity.

PNR Review: Eternal Kiss of Darkness (Night Huntress World, Book 2) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Eternal Kiss of Darkness" the 2nd book in her Night Huntress World series by Jeaniene Frost.


Product Description

At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appears - this fearless, beautiful .... human who braved death to rescue him. Though her burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable.

My Review:

Kira Graceling couldn't ignore the moans of pain and crackling laughter and found herself in a whole lot of trouble. Mencheres a 4000 year old vampire who has seen the Pyramids of Giza being built and wanting to die couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a dark-haired beauty trying to save his life.  When Mencheres saves her life he brings her into a world she has never seen before and attracts the attention of his adversary who is determined to end his life and gain is powers.

As Mencheres and Kira spend time together they form an attraction but don't act on it.  When he sets her free both yearn for each other.  When Kira goes looking for him she stumbles into a bad situation and Menchere saves her once again.  It turns deadly when Mencheres is framed for murder and they go on the run and prove his innocence while trying to stay alive.

Kira was a strong, sassy and courageous heroine who was an excellent fit for Mencheres who has vowed never to love another women after being betrayed by his ex-wife.

My Review:

I was very excited when I heard that Spade would be getting his own book and Denise would be his heroine.  Really enjoyed learning about his backstory and how he met Bones and Ian.

I really did like Denise in the Night Huntress books but after reading this one I didn't really like his character.  Her personality was so different a complete turn around and I hated how she treated Spade.  She would always question his logic and motives, she was either harping at him or yelling at him and she wouldn't listen to him.  Didn't really like how she guilt tripped him to help her.

Spade on the other hand was very hot and an alpha male.  He didn't want to hurt Denise because she was Cat's best friend but he has always been attracted to her since the first time he saw her.

Wow the love scenes were pretty hot and intense!

My Review:

It's been five weeks since the end of "This Side of the Grave" and Cat still can't get rid of Marie's power and ghosts are still flocking to her.  Fabian Cat's ghost friend has a request for help: the ghost Fabian is in love with needs help eradicating another ghost and wants Cat's help doing it.


Cat and her Master Vampire husband Bones learn of a ghost that takes solid form on All Hallows Eve and chooses 3 women to torture and murder. Heinrich Kramer was once a witch hunter and now he comes back each year and picks innocent women to burn alive, claiming they are evil witches.  Now Cat and Bones will need to find a way to get rid of the ghost permanently and end his reign of terror or they may end up as Kramer's next victims.



I really love how Cat's and Bone's relationship is even stronger than ever but Bones has his jealousy under control know.  There is a scene where it gives the phrase "Mile High Club" a whole new meaning!  LOL!

Both Cat and Bone's have really grown from the first book to now with Cat learning she can be quite happy and Bones is more trusting and letting Cat take the lead in this book.

Loved Tyler the Medium with his witty remarks and how he loves flirting with all the good-looking vamps.

Glad to see some of the characters back and play a bigger part in helping Cat and Bones with their plans.  Missed Vlad in this one.

My Review:

Cat has some unique abilities that some of the members of the supernatural community feel threatened by.   The leader of the ghouls is targeting Cat, so Bones and Cat enlist the help of the ghoul queen Marie of New Orleans as well as Cat's old team and their group of vampire friends to stop the crazy Apollynon from bringing war that would net massive losses on both sides.
 
Cat has grown alot since Book 1 and finally trusts Bones with her life and heart.  They have a group of friends that has grown into a family who are always willing to help them out when needed.
 
Loved that we got to see Spade and Denise and Mencheres and Kira and to catch up on what happening in their lives.
 
Vlad had a bigger part in this book and he's always a delight to read!  He's a great friend to Cat and always helping her out and getting her out of scrapes!
 
I definately recommend reading Chapter 21 which will give Chapter 32 a run for it's money!  Now after reading that I will not look at wax the same way again (I mean in a good way), LOL!!
 
5/5
