Leila is doomed to a life of solitude.until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire. 'After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Although it was somewhat beneficial to me to have 'met' him before, I don't believe you have to read the Night Huntress series beforehand, unless you hate spoilers for that series and actually plan on reading it. Other than that, I feel the cover is a decent likeness of Vlad, who I met before in one of the Night Huntress books (a series which I haven't yet finished). The shirt should be on with this particular cover, but since I'm not your average paranormal romance reader (half of the genre I loathe or am lukewarm about), I suppose my two cents don't really count. Most of the book is about Leila trying to keep the dang thing on, or Vlad keeping it on expressly to annoy her. Speaking of Vlad's shirt, it's weird he's on the cover without it. I didn't know what it was, but I think I found it in the spin-off series, the Night Prince. Yes, it was fast-paced, the romance was steamy, and although I was lukewarm about that hero who everyone loves, Bones, I did love Cat. I readily admit when I first dipped my toes into Jeaniene Frost's work, I was expecting a bit more than I got from Halfway to the Grave.
