Vlad's book has been highly anticipated for quite some time now and it doesn't disappoint. As a child Leila was electrocuted by a downed power line and ends up gaining the ability to see peoples "sins" as well ass glimpses of the past, present, or future. She also is able to weld and electric current through her had. The accident made her life difficult because she couldn't safety touch anyone without shocking them at the very least. One day she is taken by Vampires who want her to use her powers to locate a certain vampire, of course I'm talking about Vlad. 
 Right away from meeting there is an attraction between these two. I really like how their abilities complimented each other. 
 Vlad has also had a sad and complicated past, but you would never know. He keeps himself sheltered off and doesn't allow himself to get too close to people. I like that even though Leila clearly starts changing his feelings about things, it's not something that happens instantly. There's clearly things that Vlad will still have to work through more things which will be addressed in the next book. 
 Leila is a great heroine and narrator, as the story is told from her POV. Yes, she's been through a lot and has a lot of guilt about things, but she isn't a depressed and broken down person. At the point of the novel starting she's accepted her life as how it is. Even when Vlad comes along and changes things for her she still doesn't become melodramatic about her life. She's also very brave and willing to take care of herself and those she ultimately cares about. She doesn't expect people to just do things for her. She tries to be very self-sufficient. 
 Jeaniene Frost did great job with this introduction to Vlad's story, and it clearly isn't finished yet. I'm glad she decided to give his and Leila's story two books, unfortunately now we have to wait until next year! Until Then!
