Shades of Wicked

A Night Rebel Novel

By: Jeaniene Frost

Narrated by: Tavia Gilbert

In this thrilling new Night Rebel series set in New York Times best-selling 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 lawmaker...

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 hot spots 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.

Listened to over 390 books/never left a review:

I love... LOVE... supernatural adult books. I've listened/read so many. I've listened to all of Frost's other books and thought I couldn't enjoy anything as much... but oh my **** this is the unbelievable, most necessary paranormal romance novel that must be listened to ever. Literally, my first review of over 390+ books and I don't even want to write anything other than, READ THIS/LISTEN TO THIS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT NOW. Frost.... there are no words... narrator, at first her voice takes 5 or so chapters to get used to and then you love it.... LOVE.

Stop reading this review, stop listening to all other books that come before this... STOP YOUR DAY JOB... and for everything possible listen to this book.

I realize this review means nothing to those that don't know me, but please believe me, this is amazing.... so much so that I refuse to listen to the last 25 minutes of this book!

WHAT!? You may say: What is she thinking?
And I have never done this...
But I don't even want to know if this book ends on a cliff hangar; I'm just stopping now. In order to enjoy these characters, story, plot... it all!

FROST: You have outdone yourself!

Luv it!!

lmao, this story was funny and sexy. The voice was fine, of course, I'm not picky sooo....I've listened to her previous audio books and so some of the accents were off but that doesn't take away from the story. If you guys don't like the changing accents read the book!

Loved it! :D

5 Stars

I loved this story! I've read all the other books Frost has done in this world so I'm very familiar with Ian. Mostly he's a bastard but there have been indications that he has some hidden depths and can have a great loyalty to a select few. In this story we finally get to see those depths and I liked what I saw. He's still a bit of a freak (particularly in the bedroom) but it's in a good way. :)

Veritas...well in previous books she's always been the "by the book" law guardian that has been an ally to Ian's people in the past. But she also took part in an official action by the ruling body of the vampires that Veritas had little choice in but seems unforgivable and caused a serious rift. In this book, we find that Veritas also has hidden depths and that she's been using her perfect image and position as a cover for certain things she wants to keep hidden.

Veritas has reasons for wanting a demon, Dagon, dead and has been working towards that goal for a very long time. Veritas finds out that Ian is demon-branded by Dagon and sees him as a good ally to help her trap and kill Dagon because Ian only has 2 years before Dagon gets his soul. Ian is reluctant but does agree to work with Veritas towards their common goal of killing Dagon. As they work together, they both realize that a lot of things they thought was true about each other actually wasn't and they have a lot more in common than expected. I really liked how things progressed between Veritas and Ian. I was a bit surprised (but in a good way) that Ian didn't run from what developed between them and showed he could be selfless. There's definitely some drama and danger to get through and unfortunately, Dagon isn't dead yet but I loved how things ended...mostly. There is a bit of a cliffhanger but it stops at a point that makes me excited and happy about where it's headed and only cursing the wait for the next book a little bit. :D

I can’t abide the narrator

Voicing is so irritating I could not finish. I have read all of these books, love the stories and characters. Hideous irritating narration is unbearable. I have 125 audible titles as my vision is very bad. Only one other title by Stephen Donaldson fit in this category. The whining was also unbearable. Sad.

Can't wait for the next one

I do have to say it was hard to get into at first.. and I was so excited I had listened to the whole series again before this book came out...the narrator (who I love normally) change the voices and it made me so sad and frustrated they kind of came back towards the end of the book... and now I'm ready for the next...

Bloody fantasticly brilliant!

I f I could turn this up to an eleven I would. It has been a while since I have read a J. Frost book so I was not ready to be so blown over. Now if I read it right I am about to ride another set of books regarding our special law guardian and our lovable degenarate. Oh God I cannot wait!

I cannot wait for the next book

This was so much move than I expected and left me wanting the next book now! Must read/listen if you loved the Night Huntress books.

Marvelous!

I absolutely loved this book. Ian has met his match. I cannot wait for more in this series. Cat and Bone's world with with much more interesting beings.

Frost delivers another masterpiece!

Ian and Veritas.. WOW. This book was absolutely fantastic. I cannot put into words the proper amount of praise it deserves. I’m completely floored by it, and can’t wait for the next one. 5 stars all around.

Accent

I was put off by the accent at first, but I bought it so I figured I'd listen anyway. After a chapter in, I found I liked it and the reader really pulled out all the stops for every characters dialect. Her performance was quite entertaining, if at times over the top.
