Shades of Wicked: A Night Rebel Novel

by Jeaniene Frost Narrated by Tavia Gilbert

Overview

In this thrilling new Night Rebel series set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress world, sexy and ruthless vampire Ian finally meets his match!

The Rule Breaker...

Master vampire Ian is unrepentant, shameless...and every shade of wicked. He's made one too many enemies in his two centuries of existence, including Dagon, a demon who now lays claim to his soul. Ian's only chance to escape Dagon is to join forces with a Law Guardian, but he's never been able to abide by the rules for long.

The Law Maker...

Veritas' normal role is police, judge, and jury to reprobates like Ian. But she has her own ax to grind with Dagon, so if she can use Ian as bait...well, all's fair in law and war. As they scour supernatural hotspots to perfect their trap, Veritas soon realizes Ian's carefully cultivated, devil-may-care roguish image hides something much more powerful. And Ian discovers Veritas has shocking secrets of her own. As they're drawn to each other with a passion as intense as their peril, either love or justice will prevail. But each will have devastating consequences.

In the first of a new spin-off of Frost’s Night Huntress series, Tavia Gilbert’s narration magically transports the listener to a modern-day world filled with vampires, demons, and other supernatural beings. Master vampire Ian teams up with an ancient vampire called the Law Guardian Veritas to break the demon Dagon’s claim on his soul. Ian and Veritas hide their true selves from others but ultimately find they have more in common than their penchant for drinking blood and performing spells. Though her accent is inconsistent, Gilbert manages to embody Veritas. She exquisitely performs the tale with the right amount of emotion and suspense, keeping the listener engaged with the stories of both characters. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

Two vampires with a common enemy reluctantly join forces to vanquish him, then become true partners—which both strengthens them as they face their metaphorical demons and makes them more vulnerable in confronting their demonic foe.

Veritas is a Law Guardian for the vampire council, but secretly she is a mixed-race being, half-human, half-demigod—the daughter of a powerful lord of the underworld—who uses her special powers for her own secret agenda. Law Guardians enforce laws she and many others feel have been distorted over the centuries and are currently used to deem mixed-species children illegal, sentenced to execution. Quietly thwarting those laws allows her to bring "hope to all who suffered when the powerful took advantage of the vulnerable." Veritas approaches Ian, a vampire with a reckless, maverick reputation, to help her destroy Dagon, a powerful, villainous demon. Ian despises her but agrees to help since Dagon tricked him into bargaining his soul; the demon's death will free him. As they create events to draw Dagon out, Ian sees a different side of her, but when she risks everything to save a helpless creature from a brutal existence, he realizes she is truly noble. After they wind up married to protect Ian from the law, their pretend devotion becomes more real as they vanquish enemies together and defend each other to distrustful friends and allies, but when their showdown with Dagon goes awry, Veritas may have to sacrifice their love to keep Ian safe. Frost's Night Huntress spinoff is a flawless blend of high-stakes romance and action-packed paranormal adventure that subtly explores race, justice, honor, and power with creativity and sensitivity while never getting in the way of a superbly crafted and entertaining plot.

Sexy, breathtaking, not-to-be-missed paranormal romance.
