Some promises are meant to be broken...
Veritas spent most of her life as a vampire Law Guardian. Now, she's about to break every rule by secretly hunting down the dark souls that were freed in order to save Ian
Some vows are forever...
Ian's memories might be fragmented, but this master vampire isn't about to be left behind by the woman who entranced him, bound herself to him, and then disappeared.
So, what if demons, other Law Guardians, and dangerous, otherworldly forces stand against them? Come hell or high water, Ian intends to remind Veritas of the burning passion between them, because she is the only person seared on his mind--and his soul...
Thank you Goodreads and Avon Voyager at Harper Collins for a chance to read Wicked Bite #2 in the Night Rebel series!
This series is a spin-off of Jeaniene Frost’s Night huntress series. Which was not a bad series. I just couldn’t seem to get into it at the time. In time I will try again. This book was ok. I don’t have anything bad to say about the series but maybe I would have been more into it if I had read the first book in the series before I read this one. I will try reading the first one and come back to edit this review if my view of it changes. People that have read her other series will definitely like this series. Happy reading everyone!

This was so excellent. Were there flaws? Maybe. Could I potentially complain about something? Probably, knowing me. Is it the best book I've ever read? No, but Frost has created a world that enthralls me so succinctly that I will forever call her one of my top five authors of all time.
Her Night Huntress world is one of the best fictional worlds I've ever read in my entire life, and I will always be a super fan.
Pick up her books NOW, Goodreads fiends.

הספר הזה ממשיך מאותה נקודה שבא נגמר הספר השני והמסע של וריטאס ואיאן ממשיך
וריטאס נמצאת במסע אחרי הנשמות האפלות שהשתחררו בסיום הספר הקודם היא מפרה את החוקים שעליהם נשבעה להגן והיא מוצאת את עצמה בסכנה לא רק לאבד את חייה אלא גם את ליבה
איאן מתעורר עם זיכרון שבור ולב כואב והדבר היחיד שהוא יודע שהוא חייב להחזיר את אשתו אליו
הדמויות הישנות והאהובות מופיעות פה ועוזרות לוריטאס ואיאן בקרבות שלהם מול אוייבים ישנים-חדשים
הספר הזה חושף לנו עוד צדדים ורבדים בעולם שקיימים בו יותר מערפדים, ג׳ולים ושדים
הספר הזה נגמר בעוד מסע שעומד להתחיל ואני כבר לא יכולה לקרוא ולראות לאן הדמויות יגיעו

After literally saving Ian’s soul by making a bargain with her father, law guardian Veritas is about to break every rule in the book as she searches out the remainder of the souls she released from demon Dagon’s grasp and sends them on their way before Dagon can reclaim them and the power he lost.
Of course, since returning Ian’s soul to his body meant he lost all memories of the few weeks they spent together, Veritas will be completing this mission solo. Also a good thing since she’s drawn Dagon’s attention and he’ll take any opportunity to strike at her by going for Ian. No, better she keeps Ian as far away as possible.
Thing is, Ian didn’t entirely forget Veritas or their weeks hunting down Dagon. He knows she’s somehow important to him, but not why. Now, he’ll stop at nothing to put the pieces together, and if there’s anything we know about Ian, once he’s dedicated to something, there’s no stopping him.
I came into this series late. For whatever reason I did not jump on the Shades of Wicked bandwagon the moment it came out in late 2018. Honestly, good for me because right after I did get to it and finish it up I was able to jump immediately into Wicked Bite. Moral of the story: sometimes it pays to wait.
Coincidentally, it also came after a long period of not having ready anything by Jeaniene Frost so I’m liable to overlook any negatives due to the fact that it felt like I was being welcomed back into a group of friends again. Because, yes, the gang pretty much all shows up in one way or another.
But for all that we’re back in common territory, it’s the new things that impress me the most. Mainly, Wicked Bite deals a lot with Veritas and her dual nature as vampire and demi-goddess. Still trying to suppress her other half for reason we, and she, don’t fully know, I like that readers are right there with her when we learn what, exactly, it is that she’s capable of. For a character that first popped up as tertiary, at best, I think it’s awesome how much she’s been expanded upon. All the new things we learn, all the new depths, don’t seem misplaced or out of left-field. It’s been a real shining moment of the series that I wasn’t really expecting when I first started.
Probably the only quibble I can make is the fact that I wanted more to be done with Ian’s losing his memories. I had no doubt that somehow Ian and Veritas would reunite so I would have loved to have the tension drawn out a bit, but it seemed to be more of a quick passing phase.
Because the search for Dagon continues from Shades into Wicked I feel like these first two books go more hand in hand, and the third book will deal more with the fallout, as well as Veritas claiming more of her suppressed other half. Even though it’s a somewhat natural progression for the series, Jeaniene Frost is a pro at throwing curveballs and I’m looking forward to things being shaken up a bit.
My only problem is I now sit in the same position as everyone else: waiting for the next book.
